"Bar service was kind of slow on embarkation but also expected since this was also the first cruise back for many and people definitely wanted to get their cruise started!Upon boarding everyone was told cabins would be available at 1:30 but because of our VIFP status we could take our bags to our cabin to drop them off...."Read More
This was my first cruise and chose the Liberty because I was told that there would be lots to do aboard hence it was called the “party ship”. The activities was endless but it wasn’t what I expected , it was more lounge singing and not many hands on experience. The food was endless and the wait time wasn’t bad. However the “Ol Fashion BBQ” lived up to its name “old” it tasted awful and it was ...
Paid a whole lot to sit in a tiny cabin for a week. Starting day one there was no internet, although we all paid and were charged. Although internet is optional, app access is required for dining/activities, and when their internet is out it your problem, not theirs. Excursions were cancelled for no good reason. False advertising of their private island at Princess Cays (can’t enter water unless ...
We went as a family celebration with 12 people. The cabins were large enough with ocean view on deck 2. However, there is only ONE electrical outlet in the ENTIRE cabin. In today's age of electronics with 2 or more guests in a cabin, this is ridiculous. I have sailed MANY times on multiple cruise lines and this was a big shock. Always have had outlets in bathroom and a few more in cabin.
No ice ...
1. The Port Canaveral personnel do an excellent job of checking in and boarding the ship.
2. The food in the main dining room has declined substantially. Portions are small and two of the nights the meal was inedible. Very poor quality. The waiters did a good job, but not as professional as previously. The pizza and Guys burgers were both very good. The deli sandwiches were mediocre. ...
First time on Carnival, first time inside cabin, first time guaranteed room vs choosing. Would do it all again. The room was spacious enough, good storage, not claustrophobic.
The ship is showing its design age a bit. It was built in 2004, but the design seems older than that. There is a design element that is a problem: There are only three non-hotel floors that you can cross completely from ...
We hadn't cruised in 10 years and have been looking at getting back into it. We've previously cruised as a couple on RCL and HAL. We're an early 40s married couple. We booked this 4 night mid-week trip to give Carnival a try. Never again! Everything about the ship was aggressively mediocre. Cleanliness was pretty bad (I love picking balls of ground-in blonde hair from my stateroom floor, and ...
Hadn't heard of this before, friend at church mentioned it & I booked it at last minute. Ship was great, cabin steward Wirat ("call me Wee") great service. Also great service from our Golden Olympian (gorgeous dining room) server Yadnya (called him YaYa). Showrooms like Venetian Palace or Flowers Lobby (w/glass elevator) were verrrry beautiful
The singers were mostly Southern Gospel so I ...
Previous customer-and 5th cruiser with Carnival. This was by far the worst cruise we have ever taken. The many changes Carnival has made really makes a BIiG negative difference. Listed below:
Food - less than mediocre in the dinning room. Meat is tuff. Portions are much smaller (not that it made a difference in the taste.
Options are not child friendly.
Stick with the outside offerings ...
This was very first cruise that wasn't just a casino or day cruise. My cruise mate was a platinum cruiser who was more than willing to show me ropes.
Day one, embarkation.
Getting through the mayhem of the drug dogs was a breeze and boarding went as easy as you could imagine. We scheduled our embarkation time for 10:30am and was on the boat no later than 11:15.
The boat was clean ...
Mature couple - 3rd time cruisers - 1st time Carnival - filling in around the Holiday calendar.
Brief trip - affordable - nice break.
Passenger capacity seemed to be full - many family groups - we guessed at 20% young persons/children.
Ship's décor and aft-cabin suite are dated but, immaculately clean & tidy. Pleasant full staff.
Cannot review entertainment amenities or Main Dining as ...
