We had four cruises cancelled in 2020 and 2021 so this was our first since the Pandemic. Everyone over the age of 12 was vaccinated and I was very impressed with the protocols. We have been on over 25 Royal Caribbean cruises so know the types of activities they usually have on board. The ship was running at 50% capacity so there were no big lines or waiting for elevators. It was a relaxed ...

Review for a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Carnival Liberty

This is my fourth cruise with Carnival and my family's second cruise. We recently cruised on the Conquest, which is a sister ship of the Liberty. The layout was the same with the decor being a bit different. I will say upfront that everyone had a great time and didn't want to leave the ship. We always tell ourselves and our children - pack your patience - when it comes to traveling via cruise. ...

Hello again. I posted a review a week ago ("a no no cruise"). This week i took the cruise with my best friend. Embarkation process - very good. Cabin - a "no no". We had cabin 1456 on deck 1. We were next to the crew's cabins. Our cabin felt like we had an engine below us. Vibrating day and night, ugh! Steward - myrene was extra awesome! Very friendly. Addressed us every morning by our ...

Extended Family Cruise -- I'm a 1st Timer

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

My extended family decided on this cruise; my aunt & uncle being frequent cruisers. This was mine and my children's first cruise. I must say -- I was thoroughly underwhelmed. The quarters were small but I expected that. The food was mostly bland and most noticeably, the cake served was literally frosting or mousse with cake crumbs added. The room rattled pretty much all day and night -- likely ...

This is my 10th or so cruise. Although other cruise lines offer a fancier trip, Carnival makes sure there is plenty of fun to go around! Let me start by saying that my husband and I have been together 40 years and enjoy vacationing together. We are lucky that our daughter married a really nice guy and we enjoy spending time with them, hence this cruise for the four of us (celebrating ...

This is my 11 Cruise on Carnival and have also cruised Princess and Royal Caribbean. This cruise was a bounce back offer from the casino from our Oct 2015 cruise. This is my 3rd cruise on Freedom. Day 1 -- - Galveston -- embarkation was a breeze. Parked across the street and walked on at 11. We had chosen the new staggered check in time of 10:30 -11:00. As we were about 10 minutes late, we ...

I figured you get what you pay for, and I was right. This was my first Carnival cruise and I didn't expect it to be equivalent to the other cruise lines but the differences were pretty dramatic. Not to be picky, but what's up with the dreadful decor on the Freedom. The ceiling designs looked like the Ebola virus. We got a balcony room which was ridiculously small and had only one ...

Two Crowded, Too Noisy, and Too Informal

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

If you want to hear continuous noise, non stop fun, and watching crowded scenes of people drinking and smoking all day (there is nothing else to do) this ship is for you. Most of the cruise ships have many well located bars to avoid or minimize noise in the cabins; however, the Carnival Magic has several bars and playing areas located in external areas on deck 5 so if you are on a any deck above, ...

This was our first Norwegian cruise. We have cruised 9 times before of various cruise lines. I have to say I like the size of the ship. It seemed easier to get around on. However, it was rocky. I do not know if it was the size of the ship, or if something was not working properly. We took our whole family, including our 5 year old grad daughter. She had a blast with the kids program! What a ...

Departed Nov 16th for the 7 night cruise, This was the one with the Roatan Honduras, Playa Maya and Cozumel itinerary. Embarkation and parking was a nightmare, worst I have ever seen. Clearly boarding 2 ships is more that Galveston can handle. I used port parking and I had prepaid but it was still a traffic jam. I suggest using an off site parking lot, that transports you to the pier, they can get ...
