My family and I just returned from our 3rd Carnival Cruise and I felt compelled to write a review. I was waiting for the survey they kept telling us we would get via email but it still has not come. Our extended family has been cruising with carnival for many years but this last experience was really bad. It is sad to say I was actually looking forward to getting off the ship and going home after ...
This review of our Carnival Christmas Cruise on the Breeze 12/24-29/2022. My wife and I booked our first Christmas Cruise. We have grown children with 4 grandchildren. The Cruise was amazing and we had a fantastic time. I will include the great, the bad, and the ugly so you can decide how you would rate this cruise.
Houston Airport to the Port of Galveston: We booked a Lyft from the ...
FUNderwhelming
Would you care for whine with your meal?
I will apologize in advance to carnival and its gracious staff for the overall disappointed tone of this review. I can’t complain about the staff and their enthusiasm, generosity and respect for the clients. Let’s just say that upfront. But other elements left me FUNderwhelmed.
Well, it was quiet when we first sat down.
My first ...
Our family decided to take a cruise together. I personally travel for a living. This is absolutely worst experience I have ever had on a trip. The bed in my cabin had trash from previous guests underneath it. My fridge didn’t work and the T.V. would stop working every evening while I was in the winding down from the day. The food was horrible. I added cash to my account at a kiosk. When I went to ...
This cruise was to celebrate my 65th birthday. I traveled with my husband and best friend. We were in a suite (don't remember the level) and this is my story. An additional factoid is I am Platinum and my husband is just shy of Platinum on Carnival.
Boarding was a "Breeze" We arrived at the terminal (Galveston) at about 10:30 and were on board by 11:00. We had the quick line because we ...
On October 10th we sailed out of Galveston on the Carnival Breeze. It was our 1st post covid cruise. We have sailed on Carnival multiple times as well as several other lines. The experiences as far as general details were always pretty consistent across all cruise lines. Carnival , though not my preferred line but, we always enjoyed sailing with them and were always pleased with them over all. ...
I have been cruising for 22 years and have 10 Carnival Cruises under my belt. This was a great cruise, but there were definitely some notable changes since my last sailing. I will break it down-
The Good-
Staff-the hardest working and friendly people anywhere! Smiling, helpful, friendly, pleasant no matter their job. Shout out to Christian our room steward. He was amazing!
The ...
In all fairness, let me preface this by saying this is my first cruise since the pandemic. I was expecting to have to wear my mask most of the time. I didn't even have to wear it once.
PROs:
1. Wonderful guests. The guests were awesome. Met a lot of people and had a great time with them.
That's right. There's literally one PRO.
CONs:
1. RUDEST STAFF I've ever encountered. Every ...
A friend selected this as our yearly girl's trip. First, we weren't aware that Cheers package did not include drinks on day one and ended up paying for drinks on first day. I guess we could've done the ghetto thing and snuck drinks onboard like some other guests did to hold us off until day 2 when we can use the Cheers drink package. There was lipstick stain on a glass at dinner. There was a leak ...
Just back from a 5-day Galveston to Costa Maya and Cozumel.
Doing the homework is necessary, especially if you are a newbie cruiser. I've done 5 cruises across the cruise lines (mainly Carnival) and still did the homework, as it had been a while.
Pros and cons in no particular order...forgive the rambling-Long post to follow:
Get to town the day before!! I think it gets said plenty, but ...
