We have taken 5 cruises on Celebrity and Holland America; this was our first cruise on Carnival. Overall, we had a great time.
As you might expect, the Carnival cruise cost about 70% of the price of cruising on the other lines, and the food/service/entertainment was about 70% of the caliber of the other cruises. The cabin was exactly the same as the other cruises. So -- you get what you pay ...
Booked about 2 months before and looking for a relaxing cruise without too many children running around. Average age on this cruise was 40-60 years old. The biggest group on board were the Players Club (gamblers) who spent most of their time in the casino, buffet and the small outdoor area where they could smoke. They also filled the casino (mid deck 5) with smoke. We could smell it in our ...
Like many, we lower our expectations a bit when we use Carnival. Obviously, its a bit cheaper then most other cruise lines and you realize there must be a reason. This might be unfair. The Miracle is nicely compact and well laid-out. Even though its compact, I never feel too crowded.
Embarkation: disappointing. We were going to buy the FTTF, but it was sold out. We got to the terminal at ...
We enjoying cruising with Carnival. We have found 95% of the time, the staff and food was great. This cruise the food was good. The staff was excellent. They did change the ports thanks to Maria, but we were safe. One of the better cruises with the dining staff and cabin staff. I needed more padding on my bed and he provided it. The sea day steak and eggs were excellent The steak was very ...
We choose this cruise on recommendation of our AAA agent. It was a wonderful experience we are glad we choose this ship because it was a smaller ship for our first experience. The CD Mat was so funny and our steward was the best his name was Jeamer. One of the servers on the lido deck was wonderful very attentive he never forgot what we were drinking and always try to make us feel special his name ...
Chose this cruise due to location of port, the port of calls, the length, the time of year and cost. No bad weather whatsoever, there were two hurricanes that could have affected us but the were in the eastern Caribbean.
Cabin: We started with an inside cabin on deck two and decided to got to deck 8 with a balcony. After realizing that we'd be under the Lido deck, we switched to deck . We ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and the time of year. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and were happy to be travelling while the kids were in school.
The Sunshine is a lovely ship and the added dining experiences were wonderful. The steak house and bonsai sushi were exceptional and priced very reasonably. The service as always was fantastic and the staff in the Steak House ...
Chose the cruise to see the Turks & Caicos... unfortunately hurricanes had other plans. The destinations ended up being just the Bahamas... but Half Moon Cay was the cherry on top. Beautiful! Loved loved loved it. We enjoyed the islands, but our day-at-sea was enough to make anyone want to jump overboard... because that's what we were - OVERLY BORED. There isn't much to do on this ship. Once ...
The night prior to the cruise, my husband and I (he is 59, I am 60) stayed on The Queen Mary for $119.00 (plus taxes and etc) and it was literally only a less than 5 minute walk to the Miracle embarkation port. The ship was a couple hours late coming back into port from the previous cruise due to a power outage the day before, so our Faster To The Fun (FTTF) embarkation was a little delayed. They ...
1st cruise and loved it food facilities and entertainment 1st class staff work very hard and do everything to please you shame had to change where we were going but enjoy most islands visited. Loved nearly everything and would have given it a 100% except 1 thing spoiled it for us and that was being treated like the poor cousin by the cruise director Dustin who worked very hard and did a brill job ...
