We were told to be at port at 10am in San Diago,to catch a connecting coach to Mexico to start the cruise. We had booked out of our hotel to follow this instruction.
I can only describe the experience as terrible. We're told to pull our own cases from one pier to another, then shouted at , and told to pull them back . Instructions were given to get a pedicab to take them back at our own expense. ...
Having previously cruised on celebrity solstice , I expected - wrongly - that the Millenium would be of similar standard.
The embarkation in Ensanda was a fiasco.
The activities staff - other than a guy named Michael , were frankly lazy compared to the Solstice crew.
The whole ship was less than impressive and despite a goodly number of Australian and European guests, overtly geared to just the ...
By way of introduction, we are a couple in our mid-80’s who bemoan the loss of consideration, politeness and gentility that so marks these times. My wife suffers from dementia so that the addition of a third party to share the care of Alice was both welcomed and important to our overall enjoyment of the cruise. We are not, by nature, gregarious people but did find several dear friends earlier on ...

- Background Information
We were a group of 4 adults, 3 had cruised before, one was a new cruiser. The cruise was booked partly as a celebration -- my niece graduated from university with a Masters in Geology, and my brother and his wife are both retiring next year. I just went along for the ride, having wanted to visit Hawaii for the past 40 years!
As a disabled traveller, I'd had ...
As first time cruisers we were hoping for a relaxing holiday with 5 days at sea and then lovely visits to the Hawaiian Islands. We certainly got the latter but a relaxing holiday it was not.
First, avoid any embarkation that involves San Diego with a transfer to Ensenada - disastrous.
Second, the Spirit is looking tired and needs a refit.
Third, the food is average at best - avoid the casual ...
Background Information: Engaged the Carnival Spirit Hawaii trip through a local SLC agency to full fill my wife's dream of visiting Hawaii. This state visit completes our visits to all 50!
Hotel Info: We stayed post cruise at the Mariott on Waikiki. What a wonderful relief from the ship.
Ship Info: The ship was not only dated but worn. Half of the drawer and cabinet handles were broken. The ...
12 nt cruise from San Francisco to Alaska and back to SF
(May 8 - 20)
Was our 3rd Celebrity cruise, others being on Mercury and Galaxy. Celebrity has maintained their excellent service and value, even in this age of fuel costs, etc. They are to be commended for doing a superbe job (especially noticeable, given our recent negative experience on a 12 nt Carnival Spirit cruise to Hawaii in Apr ...
