This was our first time on a Carnival cruise -and it was our last time. Never again. We have been on many other cruises. This one had no decent shows, overpriced excursions that were a complete waste of time and money, and everything was so unorganized!
The photos taken by the professional photographers were very poor quality and extremely dark.
When we got on the ship I went to book an ...
The ports of call were incredible. We especially loved Tallinn, Estonia. The ship was ok. We enjoyed the main restaurant. The entertainment was not really for us and we found it to be all too repetitive for a 12 day sailing. Only about six movies made it into the dive-in movies lineup. They were mostly superhero films which we were not interested in. The movies in the rooms were also pretty ...
We were sent a link by Hurtigruten to fill in this review.
We purchased this cruise after watching a channel 5 documentary on Hurtigruten Norwegian Cruise. What we got is NOT what we watched on TV or the itinerary we booked as per the photos on this review. Hurtigruten are not an easy company at all to contact or deal with so be aware of this fact please.
Once on board Maud it becomes very ...
Lack of being able to contact somebody and speak to them about queries.
Our travel agent advised us to look on Carnival website. We did this which was confusing on occasions as Covid testing requirements in one place just said a covid test and in another stated a PCR which was a lot more expensive.
Check in was quick and efficient, probably due to filling in details online prior to boarding ...
We have 40+ cruises under our belts. Our back to back cruises on Carnival Pride were the worst ever!
EXCURSIONS: Poor planning, standing in long lines for 1+ hrs, excursions cut short due to preventable delays leaving the ship.
FOOD: overcooked/undercooked and frequently served luke warm or room temperature and... one-time I was served eggs at refrigerator temperature.
RESTAURANT ...
From start to finish this holiday was awful and caused me more stress than I ever want to experience again.
Before going we had to fight for every bit of information, we couldn't plan anything as we just couldn't get the information we needed.
On arriving on board I was very excited as so many people had such great stories about cruising, only to find an old, tired and worn ship that had ...
When we first boarded we experienced horrible service. Workers were rude. If you look too young to be able to buy anything they will treat you like you are not even there. So make sure when you are talking to the workers you put on a nice dress and a diamond necklace so that they will treat you with respect. The detail on the avtivities on the cruise were misleading. Dont trust anything that says ...
Relished the idea of exploring the coastal landscape of Norway and trying new activities. The cruise more than lived up to my expectations. Every element of the team couldn't do enough to keep everyone safe, well informed, well fed and able to choose from a wide range of activities on board and off the boat. There was a good balance between energetic activities and cultural ones such as ...
We are long time Seabourn cruisers recently off a 16 day cruise on Quest. Last year on an 18 day trip on Ovation we noticed many changes, not for the good. This trip, it’s clear the product has sunk far below what it once was.
1. Dinner Service in the Restaurant/Colonnade. Three dinners where we casually appeared between 7:30 and 8:30. Result: At least a half hour between courses. Water ...
First let me say this is my 1st review ever. We have been on over 140 cruises and have over 150 days on Seabourn but they have seen us for the last time. Unfortunately Seabourn has implemented so many cost cutting features including a new set of Auxilliary Generators that come on whenever they leave port or come into port to Dock. They run for a solid hour at 3:00 am - 6:00 am or Midnight ...
