Galveston Romantic Cruises Cruise Reviews

Our cruise was booked 18 months in advance. So I had tons of time to plan. I watched many YouTube videos. Read tons of reviews and joined a bunch of Facebook groups. I bought the refreshment package, one Internet package with 3 devices and the unlimited dining package. I was able to get good pricing on all packages with Black Friday deals. We had two ocean view balcony staterooms with a connecting ...

This is my 7th cruise on Carnival. All of them from Galveston as we live just north of Houston. I actually think this is my last Carnival Cruise. I've followed the Video Bloggers and I'm up to date on the price increases and service decreases but unless you have been cruising before I don't think you will notice it but for someone who has been on 15 different cruises II noticed it right away. ...

We were so excited for this cruise since we hadn’t been on one since 2019 (which was on the Breeze). Embarkation was a breeze (no pun intended). Our stateroom was fine. Everything worked + our Steward was attentive. We enjoyed our excursions + the final comedy show in the Ovaiton theater. Now to what was BAD: the food + sanitation! We should’ve known the food would be terrible when we saw the ...

I booked this cruise for my husband’s birthday. It was his first cruise/time out of the country. Arriving and embarking onto the ship was an easy process. Our first real problem encountered was in our assigned dining room. I ordered the chicken breast which came with potatoes, the potatoes were so undercooked I could not even cut them. We ate there twice and gave up. Breakfast in the marketplace ...

The Good: Radiance of the Seas is a beautiful ship and this was the Captain’s second sailing on this ship. He was very visible and friendly. All of the crew members were happy to see us and very professional. The food was good in the MDR and Windjammer. The shows were wonderful, including The Piano Man, City of Dreams, Tango and a tribute to Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons. Some of the ...

First cruise with my family. I will start with the food, the buffet food no taste at all. It look like the 70's vibes, need to update. The only good spot was the Guy's Burger, housekeeping was great Ari was super sweet and attentive to all our needs. The crew director Dustin kept us on our feet :) his crew was great love the show Flick saw it twice. Shows were great. Our excursion wish they were ...

Our first sign that something was amiss was before we even arrived. As we were driving up to the boat, we saw a rusty, grimey mess near the upper portions of the back of the ship. Admittedly, this is on the uppermost floors nearer the smoke stacks, but this was bad even for that location and everyone remarked on it. The security line was lengthy, but tolerable. As soon as we walked on the ...

Let’s start with the room. The bed sheets were untidy and had hairs attached to the sheets, the phone was dirty, the key fob didn’t work, so we were locked out of the room. The second day, the hinges fell off the door, and they had to move us. They cancelled our costa Maya destination we paid for and made it a boat day, which was boring, so we slept the entire day, and only woke for lunch and ...

This review starts at the port. RCCL has a new terminal that is beautiful but has to be run by blind people. It apparently opened in November and it was the worst experience we have ever witnessed in a port. There apparently is no communication between security, the private parking vendors, and RCCL. I found the disorganization to be rampant. We pulled in to be dropped off and were told to go to ...

Relatively new to cruising, having only cruised to Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico, in the past. My wife told me that this 8-day cruise was the best vacation we have ever had. Why? We chose to make this Carnival cruise a means to find enjoyment in being together, taking advantage of the ports and what the ship offered. Choosing to go the value way, allowing for more cruises, we opted for an inside ...
