I told my wife it was as if Carnival pulled the ship up to Walmart, lowered the gangway and shouted " Ok, get on."
This is my ninth cruise, the second with my wife and the first with my twin, 12 yr old girls. We left out of NYC. I have never seen a more crowded ship in my entire life. I have no idea how Carnival can expect to accommodate 3200 guests in just two very small pools, pools no ...
Concierge balcony cabin 8148.
This was our 52nd cruise and the service and entertainment were excellent. Food in the Dining room was very good, but not in the Oceanview Cafe. Choices there were very limited. The worse part was they allow people to serve themselves. I saw passenger's hands touching food and even saw one passenger who put a sandwich on his tray with his hands and then ...
We chose this cruise because of an outstanding offer. We received an extremely discounted rate that included the Classic Drink package for both, free Wi-Fi and free gratuities.
We had a boarding time of 1pm and after showing our vaccine cards and negative Covid tests both outside and inside the terminal we boarded and went to our cabin. We had an ocean view cabin aft. The cabin was small ...
This was our first Carnival experience, and it was completely upsetting, and we would not recommend the ship at all let alone recommend Carnival Cruise lines. We typically do not complain at all because we know things are never to be perfect, but this was an experience that we never want to experience again. We had a balcony room and the people in room next to us smoked pot and it made it where ...
My husband and I cruised on Magic from NYC on 7/18/2022. We were happy that everything about this cruise was great! Embarkation was easy and on time, food in all the venues was good, crew absolutely outstanding! Ryan Rose is one of the best CDs we have sailed with - how he keeps that energy level up is a complete mystery. Staff kept the ship spotless - always cleaning, wiping windows, etc. We ...
This was our 5th Carnival cruise and our first time on Freedom. We knew going in what to expect with the ship age and size. No surprises there.
First the cabin... Ronald our room steward was great! Our interior room (9215) was clean but dated. The fridge didn't work, as with most rooms, from what I've heard, which was disappointing. I usually bring a collapsible cooler bit didn't this time. I ...
We booked this cruise last minute, due to airline cancellations I did not want to risk leaving out of Florida and having our flight cancelled. Our time that we selected for the medical review was not honored, so we had to wait in line to get processed while at the pier. It was not that bad waiting.
We got an inside aft cabin due to last minute booking, we brought a nightlight so it was not that ...
I was hesitant about going on a cruise during this pandemic. But being vaccinated and boosted I felt safe. Also, knowing the entire staff was vaccinated and masked the whole time was comforting. The entire staff was wonderful, the ship was clean and met all our needs. The ship was constantly being cleaned. The entertainment was just wonderful. The food was exquisite and the portions were ...
The Caribbean Princess needs to be remodeled or taken out of service. It is dated and subpar. The pools did not get cleaned with a filter (as standard on land) and by the 3rd day all pools were murky and had a sheen of body oil and sunscreen.
The service was good with exceptional staff at the Wheelhouse Bar and Lotus Spa. The cruise was very short staffed but the crew that was present did a ...
First time on Caribbean Princess will be my last. Ship is past retirement date and it shows (rust is everywhere, hallways are visibly worn/dented). Staff seemed poorly trained and most were unable to communicate understandably (aside from "Good Morning"). Dining room food was satisfactory but other offerings were not edible ("grilled" chicken sandwich was tough as shoe leather; the "handcrafted" ...
