Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) to the Caribbean Cruise Reviews

we decided to take a 7day Caribbean cruise from Fort Lauderdale on HAL. This would be our 11 cruise, and first on HAL. Previously we sailed on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara. Since we didn't have a very good experience onour last Azamara, we thought we try something else.... We booked an inside cabin, (8102) which was well laid out, but small. Not sofa or love seat, just a very small ...

We chose this Beyond because we were on the Edge just before COVID and thought it was the best cruise we had ever been on in over 30 cruises. The ship was similar to the Edge with a few welcome additions. As others have said, it was the staff and service experience that brought the rating down. We had some initial issues with our cabin steward, and service in the MDRs was not the greatest. We ...

We have been on numerous Holland America cruises, on many of their ships on all types of itineraries, including Northern Europe and the Caribbean. This past cruise was so disappointing primarily for one major problem. Yes, it was a southern Caribbean itinerary with stops on the private island, Curaçao and Aruba, with three full sea days. The weather on those sea days were nearly perfect for ...

Let me tell you...if it is your first time cruising, like it was ours, this is the cruise you want to be on. First off, you don't feel like you're on a ship. It's clean and the interior is beautiful, kudos to the architecture team! Rooms are spacious, new and cleaning is done thoroughly. The face of the cruise, the entertainment director Shauna is super passionate and enthusiastic about the ...

We choose this trip specifically because it was visiting Curacao, which I had never visited. Additional stops were made in Aruba and the private island. Our favorite activities on the ship are the casino and spa so a larger ship best met our needs. Embarkation: We travel to Fort Lauderdale the day prior to the cruise and stay a hotels close to Port Everglades. You receive a designated ...

OK, I have read the previous reviews and yes this is a smaller, older ship that needs (and is scheduled for in 2024) refurbishment. As the cruise Director Dave noted "yes, we don't have all the bells and whistles of some of the newer ships, but we work hard to make up for it with excellent service and quality attention to detail". And he was dead on correct. Dave, by the way, was one of the most ...

With a $500 credit about to expire my wife and I thought this holiday weekend cruise would be a relaxing getaway. We have previously done two cruises with NCL, this was our first cruise with RC. Parking at Port Everglades was confusing. We were directed to two different parking garages by attendants at the port and ended up shuttling from the far end of the port to the pier. The boarding ...

We have been cruising with Celebrity since 2011 and its still our favorite. Celebrity truly understands modern elegance and great customer service. We booked a Mediterranean cruise on the Beyond for May of 2023 and decided we couldn't wait until then to try her. SHIP- WOW, she's a beauty! Elegant, stylish and welcoming. Captain Dimitrios was so entertaining. The pool deck is spacious with ...

The ship was stunning and enough space for everyone. Our stateroom attendant was on point. Unfortunately, the ship was definitely suffering due to staff shortage, which was reflected in the staff, morale and behavior towards guest. While not all staff, but some staff seemed irritated when you needed service or asked for a drink. It’s a bummer because I was so excited to try my first cruise. with ...

At my age now,will spend a little more money on the better cruise lines.I am Diamond plus on Royal.They have declined in quality and service.The bar staff were incompetent and rude.The desserts are all frozen and the meals are pre cooked.This was even true with specialty dining. The decor is about 15 years old and so are the furnishings.The movie screen outside was covered by a sheet.The ...
