Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Embarkation was a nightmare. We waited for quite some time even after having a 10:30 check-in time. We waited until almost 1:00 to get on the ship. Check-in was a long time then getting through the metal detectors was a long time. Other cruise lines seem to process passengers quicker and more efficiently. We had a Suite cabin on Deck 14. The cabin was great! Lots of room and the cabin was ...

Our group sailed for 4 nights on IOTS. Most of us had adjoining cabins, so we opened the partitions between our balconies for socializing in the morning and lounging together at sea. Highlights: Embarkation: We had The Key, which granted us priority boarding right behind the Suite and Pinnacle guests. Port Canaveral Terminal 1 is very nice and our wait to board was very short. We ...

We have been on this ship many times and it was always our favorite Vision class ship. Much has been written about the cutbacks in service and quality and this proved to be the case on this cruise. The first day we decided after visiting the Windjammer buffet that we would take all of our dinners in the main dining room. We have not done this for years, usually alternating between the WJ and ...

Chose this cruise by chance/deal, and couldn’t have been happier. Looking forward to the next already. Keep swimwear out n carry-on if you want to enjoy pools while waiting for rooms to be ready after boarding. Suitcase didn’t arrive til almost 5. Diamonds Steakhouse was DEF worth the extra fee. Also, Seafood Shack sufficed a craving at a reasonable price. Nassau was plenty fun. We experienced ...

Whoever said NCL is having major issues on the Joy had a very different experience than my wife and I. Yes, embarkation was a little chaotic. First we were mistakenly told we’d have access to the specialty lounge (i confirmed by email b/c we had a suite, but not the Haven, and the email said yes, we could access the specialty lounge.) This was bad info sent to us by NCL, apparently. Then, after ...

Really enjoyed the dining options available with Your-Time dining, hope they don't change the ChiBang and Cucina de Capitano to be pay venues. My daughter loved the Big Chicken and I enjoyed the Street Eats. Wish they would extend the Street Eats hours a bit. Balcony cabin a bit smaller than previous ships and bathroom layout not as comfortable, but thank you for the glass shower door! Didn't ...

We have cruised several times with Carnival and we have not been disappointed. It is always a fun and pleasant experience doing Carnival Cruises, for me and my husband. Galveston, Texas is our homeport- with only 5 hours of driving. We decided to do a short (6-day) cruise from Galveston after a somewhat long 2022 Carnival Mediterranean Cruise and several days of pre-post cruise stay in Rome ...

DO NOT CRUISE ON THIS SHIP!!! Mold on food, food safety, & Overcharged I was just on MSC Seaside from 4/30/23 to 5/7/23. Which was my first cruise with MSC & will be my last on MSC. My wife & went to seashore fine dinning restaurant, my wife was served the plate with grapes the clearly has mold on them (picture attached). We told the head waiter about the mold & told him the table we were ...

We got a great deal and went into this cruise with lower expectations. The embarkation process was seamless. No issues. Our room was functional,clean, and attendant was nice. The bar in the serenity area was our bar of choice and we loved it! Serenity area does need a bigger pool. The overall food was very good. We had an odd experience at the Italian restaurant. We got our dessert...but no ...

We had the worst cabin on the ship, on deck 14 right under pool chairs. All day and night we hear dragging of metal chairs on the metal deck. It’s like torture. Whole 7 days and nights listening to metal on metal dragging. This ship is only half a year old and chairs in dining rooms already have holes in them. They placed smoking area right next to the entrance to Wind Jammers, the main buffet. So ...
