This was my very first cruise. It was a gift from a friend it was a spare of the moment trip. She asked me to go with her on the Friday that we got out for Thanksgiving break. She told me we were leaving that night to go to Galveston and we was going to sail out on the Saturday. She asked me to go on a cruise with her. I had a GREAATTT Time I can not wait to go on another. Next time I would like ...
My husband & I decided to take a quick weekend cruise for our anniversary. We are not new to cruising, 9 so far and one of those includes Carnival. That was 10yrs ago & we hated jt. But eh we decided to try again and the Liberty fit our time off. The interior of the ship is not awful. But our room, it was sad sad sad. One of our lamps was broken off. I went to turn it on and it flopped off. My ...
I am surprised by how bad the food is and the ship is dirty. The staff are good but seemed to be trained not to give bigger than a child serving for the Buffett. The prime rib a few nights ago turned out to be a few bites of beef. They cut such small bite size pieces I felt bad for the carver. Awful. Just ruined a good prime rib why bother?? This will be my last cruise on Carnival. I really used ...
I wanted to show my friends (first time cruisers) how wonderful you are treated on cruise ships.
1. Room was hot. After 3 attempt waking with migrane and my hair wet with sweat, called at 3am. Was told temp should be between 72 and 76. Since it was 74, I was offered a fan. It was covered w/dust. All I could think was it came from a room where someone had Covid and I was gonna get it from ...
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 ...
We chose this cruise for several reasons. First, we were interested in cruising on a new ship, or at least new to us. And second we chose because of the itinerary in hopes of seeing some of the fall foliage. So, let's first talk about the ship. It is different than any other Carnival ship we've been on. The Lido deck and main pool area is not at all set up for sun lounging or swimming. The ...
My husband and I cruised aboard Mardi Gras in November 2022, and liked the ship so much and had "unfinished business" aboard, so we booked a second cruise on her for Sept 2023. I never understood when people would say a ship was so big that you couldn't fit everything in/see all the attractions/try all the food and drinks in a one week sailing, but after last November I understood that! So, we ...
I'm not a Carnival cheerleader, but I do think Carnival can offer a decent value at times. That being said, this is my personal review for the Carnival Venezia sailing to Canada this September.
Embarkation - super simple. The hardest part about embarkation was trying to help our Lyft driver figure out where to drop us off at the terminal. Once we were dropped off, we were within our time ...
8 day out of Norfolk Va. parked car with asphalt lots ( park air) in Chesapeake. Brad was very easy to engage for info. Vans started running early and took traffic headache away. Terminal easy and friendly folks to get onboard , maybe 25 min with a 1135 boarding time. Food. Nothing special. Outback better than steakhouse the one night we went. Guys burgers good and busy. Guys bbq- expected much ...
This was our 11th cruise, and I have to say one of the best vacations! We walked to the NY pier from our hotel, and the embarkation process was very smooth and quick. The staff at the pier were very nice. Once aboard, we walked around the ship to get familiar with this ship. The decor was REALLY nice throughout the entire ship. You really felt like you were in Italy! During the cruise, the ...
