I’ve traveled on other cruise lines and was surprisingly disappointed in Carnival. First of all, I have never been solicited to on a cruise as frequently and relentlessly as when I was on Carnival. It was almost unbearable, and a frustration I heard from many fellow passengers. But the worst critique is at the end.
I had my toddler with me. The staff was all wonderful with her. But I had to ...
We chose the cruise because of the reviews but the fact is we had the opposite experience than what was projected via reviews be it YouTube or written. First, the bathroom in the room from what we saw and read were allegedly comparable to other cruise lines. This is not so I stand 5’4” 145lbs and couldn’t walk directly into the shower stall had to turn sideways and if you are 6’ plus there will be ...
We cruised the MSC Seashore to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral on February 1st through February 4th 2024. When we first booked, our booking included the drinks and the Wi-Fi package. Our first email from MSC confirmed that. However, we got another email that had the package removed even though we did not remove it. We wrote numerous emails to MSC. We spoke to various agents. This was never ...
This was my first cruise and I was really looking forward to it. The excitement was hard to contain. But upon arrival at the terminal I was greeted with aggressive and unpleasant staff. As we were walking from the parking lot to the terminal, one carnival staff member threatened my gf with arrest for “jaywalking” when she walked beside me, placing part of her body outside the crosswalk. While ...
This was supposed to be an extremely special vacation as it was intended to be a celebration of multiple milestones in my family's life including my and my husband's 20-year wedding anniversary, my 50th birthday, as well as the high school graduation of my identical twin girls. We chose royal Caribbean to help us celebrate because we had been on Anthem of the Seas in the past and loved it. ...
I travelled with my two kids under 3, husband and parents. Firstly , the pack and play they provide for babies is disgusting- it’s hard plywood and I wouldn’t make my worst enemy sleep on that. Because of this- my kids had to sleep with me the entire vacation… the food was terrible , poor selection and taste and quality was poor. Service was just okay, nothing compared to the service I’ve received ...
This was our 3rd cruise with MSC - we traveled on the Klove cruise in 2015, 2017, and this past January.
This will be our last time with MSC - this past trip my husband and I traveled with my sister and her husband
Here are my notes…
Positive
Boarding was much simpler
Tarzon was very helpful at the customer service desk
Negative
Upon check in - sister & hubby were told ...
Sailed out of Baltimore on Carnival Legend for a 7-day cruise to the Bahamas. The wife and I sailed with our two girls, 15 and 17. This was our third cruise and second cruise on Carnival, the other one being on the Carnival Pride in 2018. I'll start with general thoughts, then I'll discuss some positives, and end with the negatives. Generally, the ship was clean and the food decent. There were ...
This was my first cruise on Norwegian. I expected a great experience but what we got was not that. First let me say that our room steward was wonderful. The beds are hard and as I am 4 months out from a knee replacement, I was having trouble sleeping on the hard mattress. My steward got an egg crate and put it on the bed which made a huge difference. He kept our room spotless. Next lets talk ...
We were excited to cruise with MSC and on a newer ship as well. The ship is beautiful, the cabin was spacious enough for two average side people with adequate storage for the number of nights. The shower was tight but a good compromise with having a balcony as well.
Plenty of areas to sit around the ship but found it can get crowded so you have to be strategic with your timing. Servers came ...
