Miami Cruise Reviews

This was our 16th cruise. We sailed on the Carnival Celebration in January 2024. The ship holds 6500 quest and 1350 employees. It is a large ship but very, very crowded, to crowded. Our worst disappointment was the food. Worst food we had on any cruise. The choices were very limited. I am not a big eater but the portions in the dinning room were very small. Had to order 2 of something that I ...

Honestly the Butler service and the Yacht Club Restaurant Staff were outstanding, but the Food fell short during all events and to say Hot Dogs and Burgers were the best of the rest. The entertainment also fell short in the Seaside lounge as well as the Theater those shows were so below any show I have ever seen, the entertainment on the ship was at the Sports Bar. Also we had issues with our ...

We picked this specific itinerary, and because Celebrity does not do a FULL transit, in the winter. We did do a Princess Cruise in 2020 but did not like it at all. Having not sailed with NCL since 2018 (previously 6 cruises), (we did 3 Celebrity, and 1 Princess in between), we definitely noticed the cut-backs, and the nickel and diming that NCL has been accused of. Embarkation was a ...

We chose the cruise as it was goiing to interesting different ports of call. The first one was Costa Maya, where we were unable to dock and understand that happens frequently. also heard that actually its very scruffy there. Other ports of call varied. We had an excellent excursion from Guatamala with brilliant guide and included high speed boat trip up the New River. The Tabyana beach day, ...

I chose Carnival because I cruised 10 years ago and it was decent; I assumed it had gotten better-I was wrong. I knew it was considered a "party ship" and I am all about a good party while on vacation but this was ridiculous. There was fighting in the rooms. I was awakened by what I think was a body being slammed against the wall, cursing, yelling, screaming, doors slamming etc. I was also ...

Was recently on board for a convention as a first time cruiser. I was frankly hesitant as I’m not a big fan of crowds or lines or being trapped on a boat. So, I had a pretty low set of expectations..and unfortunately, my fears were realized. Nothing on this trip made me want to go back on a cruise with MSC or any other cruise line. Entry/Exit was simple, and that was one of the best ...

I was on the cruise based on Winter’s fantastic retreat. The cruise ship, though remodeled, had pockets to reflect, but overall, it was an old, standard, confusing layout ship. The food was awful, with not much variety. I agree with previous posts; the best item was Pizza, better than most cruise lines. I can deal with mediocre food on cruises, but the service was mediocre at best. I would give ...

I cruise multiple times out of the year and this cruise by far was the creepiest, weird and disappointing. Here's my reasoning behind why we felt this way. Cons: 1. One of our port days was canceled which was Turks. We got a refund for $16...really. 2. Right before two of the major shows were canceled back to back we heard an announcement of an emergency, no follow up. If it's not for the ...

I’m not sure why this cruise got such high marks. It was just ok for me. In fact, I was ready to leave after day 3 and have absolutely no plans to return. First let me say the ship is beautiful, the technology was great and embarkation was fast and efficient. When we arrived on the ship we were met by someone on staff dressed in a pirates outfit that seemed less than enthusiastic. In fact, the ...

They usually only have one bartender working at each bar. This means long lines all the time! Maybe it's their way of making sure people don't get to drunk? Either way it's frustrating to purchase a drink package and wait 30 minutes anytime you want one. The restaurants are no better. I think they need more staff or better management. We waited over 45 minutes before our appetizer even arrived. ...
