Los Angeles Cruise Reviews

Overall this cruise was well done—everything went smoothly, staff was friendly and helpful, food was well made, embarkation and disembarkation was a clear, simple and speedy process, a wide variety of activities were offered for varying interests. Unfortunately, there were two instances that quite negatively impacted my experience. The first being, I attended a minute-to-win it event that was ...

Not good. I’m on ship now. There’s been no communication. There’s been soot on our patio in back ship. Curious where soot coming from. Some say maybe engine? Gotten on clothes and body. Surprised not addressed. Several times they’ve gone on our patio to clean it without notifying us. Glad we weren’t getting dressed. There’s been so many issues. The lining at pool at Havana also is coming apart got ...

This is my third Princess cruise, second with the medallion app. Last October on the Discovery we thought we were just having bad luck with their technology, but its failure this time around can’t be a coincidence. Trying to upload documents before the cruise was a joke, and it took sitting on hold for TWO HOURS to speak to a live human being to resolve it. We finally got that taken care of, and ...

This was the only sailing during my anniversary. All the dining rooms were booked as they were only open for 4hrs a day. We were forced to eat in the cafeteria dining where the food was most often overcooked or undercooked and rarely open during posted hours. (24hr cafe listed in daily paper) Ordering on the my way ap took 2-5 hrs to get our order. Only 1 person was attending the bars, pizza, ...

To begin, we spoke to numerous staff members who shared how severely understaffed they were on this ship for our trip. Room service took hours to complete and, that was IF you were lucky enough, they actually came. Guests we spoke with all joked about how useless the medallion app was when ordering anything. People were getting their food and drinks the following day or items that were not at the ...

This cruise was a last min memorial trip. We have been on 20+ cruises/various ships RCL, NCL, Carnival and Disney. Did Carnival same itinerary 2022 memorial and had a great time. RCL this was by far the worst cruise experience. Embark Day: prk lot 80% full but they refuse to let anymore cars in even with handicap they directed us to a lot blocks away and we had to wait for a shuttle take us to the ...

This is the simplest ship I’ve been on and I think this was my 23rd cruise. Very little artwork, cutbacks on everything. It was the Motel 6 of cruise ships. On a positive note, people seemed to be enjoying themselves and I love visiting Catalina Island. The spa was nice and I had a great massage. If you like spa treatments and get offered the spa cabins on deck 11, I recommend the upgrade. ...

My S.O. and I have cruised with RCCL multiple times. One of the reasons we have repeatedly cruised on this line is that RCCL rewards loyalty with various perks: abbreviated embarcation waiting, champagne receptions, free drink vouchers (diamond level and above), etc. This cruise embarked from Los Angeles Port and the embarcation process was a little unorganized outside the terminal with long ...

This was our first cruise and the experience was terrible -Dated ship / staterooms that were falling apart (paint falling off, rust, mildew, stains on couch) -Activities were meh. Large pool deck that was mostly full of drunk bachelor / bachelorette parties. Some cool water slides but it was freezing the entire voyage. -Trivia was hit or miss. We did the Harry Potter one and the person ...

The title says it all, this is the Walmart of cruises. Yes, Carnival weekend trips from Los Angeles to Mexico are clearly the cruise line version of the proverbial booze cruise, so you should expect a somewhat different type of cruise then what is normal in the cruise experience, but this is even worse. The Bad The food is atrocious and the service abysmal. Like others have said the Guy ...
