My sisters were planning on this cruise. we booked late and one could get an ocean view...ship was sold out.....we boarded the ship and surprised the sisters...met at the martini bar. Downhill from there....i have been on more than 15 celebrity cruises and truly enjoyed... We found the ship to be terribly noisey...unable to sit anywhere to have a conversation...music way too loud...speakers ...
I had a family reunion on the cruise. Day 2 I fell on the slippery floors in the Oceanview Cafe. I came home with Covid. Infection control needs improvement! The shared serving utensils in the cafe area need food handling gloves available for guests, the salt and pepper should be cleaned, the tables should be cleaned with antibacterial solution. I ordered digital pictures of my family reunion ...
My purse was stolen while waiting to disembark the ship in florida. i told the security staff who was scanning the room cards for people leaving the ship. They scanned my roommate's card then looked at me making sure my face matched then deleted me from their system making it look like i was no longer on the ship. i was in a total panic! I was not allowed to retrace my steps to look for it since ...
We have went on several cruises with Norwegian and Royal Caribbean, but not Carnival Freedom. We had several issues before leaving with CF after we did an upgrade to our room. They charges us again for soda and gratuities after the upgrade. Please make sure that you understand it is a bubbles soda package(CF doesn't tell you it is just pepsi products)- We paid for extra for a suite with extra ...
I am platinum on my way to Sapphire with NCL. I'm also travel agent. This ship is the worst I have ever been on.
If you have mobility issues, and need to use a wheelchair or a scooter and are traveling alone this ship is NOT for you. The bathrooms that are labeled as handicap accessible do not have any automatic door openers. Nor do many of the decks, with the exception of deck 11. Beside the ...
Ths cruise was a 14 day Caribbean cruise that visited a different island every day. The itinerariy was fine, but two major things prevented being able to give a good review, which I always had done before on all of our past cruises.
The first was that they should NEVER sell a cruise with three adults in those tiny basic rooms. We could have made do with two people, but three were an ...
First of all, our family room veranda and balcony were very small and impractical. The food menu contained no variety and the food itself was below mediocre. The swimming pool for the entire ship was only one very small, uncovered pool for all of the passengers aboard. It was unusable for at least 5 days because of cool/cold temperatures. The public bathroom nearest to the pool was out of order, ...
We have been on many cruises with NCL and other lines.
By far this is the worst food ever on a cruise ship, poor quality, poorly prepared and the same food over and over again.
The public areas of the ship needs to be gutted and redone; many small venues with limited space for patrons.
The entertainment was very poor with the exception of the comedian and a singer by the name of ...
Pros:
-aesthetically beautiful
- Staterooms are spacious
Cons:
You can really see cost cutting measures in comparison to pre-covid cruising
- food quality poor and limited selection in every venue
- drinks being substituted for cheap puree. E.g margarita made with an orange puree rather than triple sec or controiu
- buffet breakfast closes at 9:30
- buffet breakfast has ...
We chose this cruise because a group of friends were going and we liked the destination itinerary.
Right from the start there were communication issues... the Costa app didn't work for anyone with a US phone. Everyday we were told the app would be working the next day. The only day it worked was our last day in port when we were disembarking the ship. Outside our cabin, we were supposed ...
