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 ...
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 ...
This is the worse cruise ever, not sure where to start. First the positive lifts are great, no waiting as plenty of them.
Now the negatives, staff are rude, miserable and clearly not there to please, food in restaurant was appalling and water has to be paid for. Serve yourself buffet has a better choice but a majority of people have chosen that over restaurant clearly as queuing is horrendous ...
Checked in at Dover this took us 3hrs processing did not start until 1 instead of 12 and then problems with checking in passports and debit card
We then encountered bad weather so all time was spent inside ship we tried everything but choose was limited and could not be classed as quality entertainment, after stop at the Azores and improvement in weather we went on deck 12 to enjoy the ...
Allocated a cabin midships under open deck - noise intrusion from footfalls - chairs and tables being moved and also wheeled cabinets meant we could not use our balcony or get relaxing sleep at all.
Noise intrusion was for some 20 hours plus per day and despite formal complaints nothing was done to alleviate the problem which completely ruined our holiday.
P&O have catered for the ...
I went with a group tour, so the travel agent chose NCL. None of the group were impressed. Embarkation went very smoothly and i must say professionally. However, upon entering the ship, you were on your own. I finally asked one of the employees, "Where do I go?" she stated if i was hungry go up to the 11th deck. That was it. I went to 11th deck. a very nice bbq was underway. The band was playing, ...
