A friend booked on this cruise, so we decided to book a cruise along with them. This was our first cruise, we were told to check the final cost before the cruise. Some times you can get a refund if the cruise becomes cheaper. We spoke with someone on the phone, which took 45 min to get through and get a $180 on board credit. We assumed it was taken care of. After all, it took 45 minutes to to get ...
We’ve been cruising since 2005 with Carnival and a few different river cruises so we decided to give RC a try due to scheduling needs. This review is a comparison of past experiences against the recent one with RC.
Embarkation - I will give them a pass on this one. There was some sort of medical issue is our understanding with a passenger causing a 2-3 hour delay. Not RC’s fault however; they ...
I have taken several carnival cruises. I am a gold member. After this cruise i will never take another carnival cruise. The food was the worst. only decent place to have food of guys burgers. But with the food being so bad everywhere else, the lines for guys were extremely long. The buffet food was the worst, no flavor, very dry, bread so hard it was not even eatable. Fine dinning was just as bad, ...
First time cruiser so I don’t have many experiences to compare with it was overall a good time I bought the drink package did not get tipsy one bit… I get off the ship in tampa and go buy a premade, prepackaged small bottle of a margarita and got tipsy right away, something isn’t right there….. makes you wonder what they were mixing with on the ship… i can also say the food is “meh” not great but ...
I want to start this with, the staff in the MDR. They were great. Very attentive, really fun and super nice.
We had a few issues with our cabin. I loved the placement and size of the cabin. I loved the window. We have never stayed that low. Our issue’s were the hard mattress, the sink drained very slow, and it was a hit or miss with the toilet flushing. Yes I went to guest services. ...
We have been on many lines for many years (1994 first cruise on Sovereign) Celebrity and RCCL have been our favorites. We missed cruising tremendously so booked several when things reopened. Oct 2021 Allure, Nov 2021 Independence and just now finished a 4 night on Oasis. You can look up my review on Allure and see what a great time we had. Things on this trip, not so much. We have a Princess ...
We had not traveled on a Carnival cruise in about 8 years. Unfortunately, the level of service, amenities, and just plain safety concerns were much to be desired. Passengers were 'forced' to use the "Carnival Hub App" for all information. Wouldn't have been too bad if it worked. Many passengers had issues probably because of cell phone provider incompatibilities. We chose Anytime Dining and ...
We wanted to try an oasis class ship and now we are in love! The Central Park and our balcony overlooking it was fabulous. All the shows were spectacular. The food and service was wonderful. We did the chefs table and it was so so good! 150 central was a great specialty restaurant also. The fried cheesecake was so tasty! There was so much to see and do and the bars were great with lots of tasty ...
I hope that the difficulties Carnival had on this cruise were the result of the pandemic period, and that time will heal these issues, but this was the worst cruise I've ever been on. So many things, large and small...the ship couldn't go to to one of the scheduled ports (my favorite port) because of mechanical problems, folks we sailed with had no hot water for about a day, food was way below ...
This was a birthday cruise celebration for both my husband and I,
We choose to do the RoyalUP and upgraded to a grand suite.
Very disappointed with the lack of not having the usual
greeting at the port or the nice welcoming extras in the cabin for suite guest.
As we were expecting it since we paid extra for a suite.
We have done close to 40 cruises over the years, mainly with Royal ...
