Good Ports, Mostly Friendly Employees, Overall Another Good Cruise, But Some Issues Persist

Wellington

Carnival wasn’t advised that covid was over, except for the barely edible food they put out at the Buffett- Service is slow and uncaring- room service did not get it right once- dirty tissues left under my bed from the previous passenger- if it wasn’t going to cost us over $1000 to jump on a plane in Punta Cana and get home we would be long gone!.

 I was gifted a massage which was close to $300, It was OK -most definitely not worth the money . The staff at the front desk of the spa were not helpful at all. They were very pushy about getting fitness advice, which was completely unwanted. ship was mostly hot, It was difficult to find a place that was cool and comfortable. I will leave on a nice note though the person who was helping to take care of one of our cabins was very helpful in decorating for my grandson’s birthday and also the dining room did make an exception for us. Some of the staff were so pleasant and kind…. Some ! I was on the ship in 2018 things are very different.

Wish I stayed home! 

This super awesome family vacation was more than I could have hoped for. Thanks first off to our personal stateroom person whom I'm so sad to say I can't remember her name for stateroom. She was super awesome always attentative to needs of my husband and I. Thanks for the extra pillows much needed for my back and neck pain. My absolute super favorite IWayn our nightly cocktail waiter in Meridian Restaurant the collections of shots and shot glasses our family received. From day 1 to day 8 thanks for never missing a beat with your upbeat attitude we are super  grateful. The entire ships cast of employees made the trip so worth every moment. Service was impeccable. Thanks to the over 1 thousand employees working 6 months straight without a day off and still finding strength to make our experience the greatest. Many Blessings and prosperity to each and every one you. Thank you Carnival Horizon

Family fun in the sun

Havana cabanas are a must do.  The privacy of your own deck , pool and hot tubs, from all the commotion,  of all the people, was just awsome.  The bonzi Hibachi grill is so good and so much fun.  For 35 dollars a person. There is so much food, you have leftovers to take back to room.  The chefs, doing this are so entertaining, and talented.  You also need to make reservations before boarding.   This way you get a good time.  We do a 12 lunch, because you are so full it hurts.   Lol...  If you want a outstanding steak, the Fahrenheit 555 steak house is a little pricey,  but for a dress up dinner with husband, was the best.  Very romantic.  We did go down once to our dinning time, but the choices were not that good, this time around.  They have done alot of changes to eliminate waste.  At the seafood shack, they use to have a bread bowl that they put there famous clam chowder in.  Now, it's in a regular bowl, still fantastic but I liked the bread bowl.

Best cruise.  Loved being in the Havana cabana room

My boyfriend booked this for our vacation and his parents booked the same cruise. I had an amazing time from beginning to end personally.  We had a balcony room, and it was worth the price to see the sunrise and sunset from the balcony. We also bought the robes which were so soft and comfortable, perfect for napping in after a day docked on shore. The drinks were all amazing, but the bloody Marys at the center bar were the best, as are all those delicious martinis at the Alchemy bar. I highly recommend booking a table at the Meridian for your breakfasts and dinners. The 12 hour French toast and their omelettes had me drooling, but the dinners were also really wonderful. We paid the extra for the filet, and it was cooked so perfectly both times, it blew me away.  We also splurged on a night at Fahrenheit 555, which had a wonderful atmosphere and even more fabulous food than the Meridian. But really if you can book it, or you want a special night, the Chef’s Table took my breath away. There is nothing like that where we live back home. From beginning to end it was the most beautiful and delicious dinner I have ever had in my life. I just kept looking at my boyfriend wondering how anything could be this awesome. Really I felt like Alice in Wonderland waiting for each of the plates to come out. They really made us feel like royalty. I will never forget that dinner. The comedy shows were fun, and frankly just hanging out at the main bar in the center was great too. You get to meet so many people from all over who are all just happy to be on vacation. It was so fun. We would definitely go on another cruise with Carnival. So much fun and such a wonderful staff. They made us feel so special the whole time.  Also worth noting, we had some electronic bugs with some of our itinerary not loading on the app so we waited in line with guest services the first day. They had a kind lady going through and trying to fix as many problems as possible for people waiting in line. She said she would check on it and come back to us. She went and came back within about a minute and had the bug fixed. How often do you get greeters in places that say they’re going to help you but end up doing nothing? We were pleasantly surprised that she actually fixed our issue and did it so efficiently. Just really everyone was so good at helping with anything.  Also the entertainers put their all into everything. The string ensemble played some great current and classic music, and the host was great at getting everyone ramped up. Just really wonderful.

My first cruise but best vacation ever

We choose this cruises for the islands, it being 8 days and celebrating our 25th anniversary!!  FIRST LET ME SAY, I’m not the one who usually leave’s reviews but….Nothing on the boat impressed us, which was sad!!   The 2 pools are super packed, not enough chairs for everyone, if so people holding multi chairs that shouldn’t be allowed for multiple hours at a time, the 40 min holding was not enforced. Been on many crud it This was our first cruise we been on that has windows up around the majority of the ship around the edge which didn’t allow any breeze flow ( especially where the smoking sections are) like other ships. The serenity section beds were so close to each other, you had no privacy however you couldn’t stay long because there was NO air flow, because of the windows, super hot!  The food was not good, several other guess were complaining around the boat as well, so wasn’t just us. Wanted to do the sky ride, I had on hiking sandals, that laced up ( they weren’t going to come off) guy was rude and wouldn’t let me ride. Getting off the boat took us 2 and half hours which was ridiculous,  not to mention several staff members were rude throughout our trip!

Disappointed

The staff was very nice, What I did not like about the ship, The activities were not up to par other wised really boring, ( DJ) SUCKED The elevators are really difficult to get,  long waits, This ship is not wheelchair or scooter accessible at all. The buffet  was not tasty at all, The good was the movies by the pool and at the  theater, Updated.. Parents need to watch their children , running knocking on people doors running the ice machines to the floor  running ice cream allover the buffet floors,  Children should have a curfew. Overall this was the worst cruise ship I have ever been on,  The shows was not like Motown they were really boring, Punch liner Comedy not funny. Wow we made do what was going on. I guess I like lots of lido deck activities and games , There were none at all....... Next

Non Activities

We chose this for the destination. We have been on several Carnival Cruise ships and have to say this is the worst layout ever seen, elevators terrible not handicap friendly., always waiting for one then when it opens totally full. Food was awful, cheapest cuts of meat, could not chew, no flavor, only slap one piece of bread down on your plate (no breadbasket or choice of bread and I mean your only allowed one piece, oh yes, they give you one pat of butter very generous. No tablecloths or paper menu, had to beg for one and were told they are very limited, not everyone wants to be on their cell phones when on vacation, that's why we go to get away from our everyday hustle, to relax. What happened to class? People yelling on their cell phones constantly even while in dining area, pushing and shoving unreal. We even decided to go to a specialty restaurant so we could have a decent meal and again not good. Did the waiters forget to ask if you would like coffee with desert or maybe they are told to hurry and rush people out to save a dollar or two. We have two more Carnival cruises booked out and if they are like this, we will be going back to NCL where they have class and simple things like tablecloths. We had a balcony cabin on deck 8 which was very nice, and our room steward was very friendly he actually remembered your name. The women working in the main atrium bar were also very friendly, never saw the Cruise Director, on other ships they are all over the place, also shows?? Get back to Broadway style much nicer, this zombie and headbanging has been long over with. The Java Blue is not good either, we were on the Celebration, which was outstanding offered free breakfast sandwiches, here you can get stale crescent rolls . Hopefully they will up their service in the future and get better food menus, Emeril's new ideas are awlful.

Worst Food at sea

Looked forward to getting away on a cruise with great food and great people. Well the food was terrible 90% of the people were awesome   The other 10% were like they were there to raise hell and get stoned…if you went out on the lido deck to relax it was like being at a concert. Just groups hanging out drinking and smoking weed.   As for the food it’s basically like the Golden Corral on a boat..first cruise I actually lost weight on.they have a guys burger joint that was pretty good but long lines    For breakfast there’s an omelette station if you didn’t want the nasty buffet. But with only 2 making omelettes for thousands of people you’re not going to get one   Same with deli that makes sandwiches only 1 person there.  I feel once they have your money they don’t care.  It was my 5th carnival cruise and it will be my last

The food was terrible

My family and I cruised for my daughter's 30th birthday. Several of us were first time cruisers and had the time of our life. The ship was beautiful, and the staff was excellent. The entertainment was awesome and so much fun. The food was not the best but was good, however the omelettes' are top notch. I cannot say enough about the cruise director Leon. We love love love him. We are hooked and have made the decision to cruise at least twice a year. Carnival Thank you so much for a lifetime worth of memories. If I have to criticize anything it will be embarkation as we had to stand outside in the blazing hot sun for hours. My daughter was pregnant and needed to be rushed inside for assistance from overheating. Though an inconvenience I would not hold it against Carnival because the delay was due to passengers from the previous cruise not debarking as instructed.

First Time Cruiser Totally Hooked

We chose this cruise because it was my stepson's first cruise. The crew on board are amazing. Very friendly. The food choices are super good. The cabin mattresses were more comfortable than other cruises we have been on. The massage was over the top. The only thing I was not happy with was to get to where you had to go to was difficult.  You have to go up, do some walking to get to another elevator to go down. The ship was not very user friendly. Navigating the ship was a job and a half. I've noticed this on every carnival ship. But all in all, it was a much needed vacation, the whole time was worth the navigating problem. Also, it was 95° in Miami, you had to wait in a huge line that was not moving. Nobody got on at their designated board times. It was a little messed up. They were not handing out any water bottles. We were all in the sun, heat index was 111°. They also need to work on their entertainment shows.

Good food, cut up ship
