WARNING on priority access. Do not waste the money. No one at the port or on the ship knows where to direct you so you end up in the main boarding line anyway, your “early” time slot is the same as all the other passengers, the onboard spa credit is a scam as you have to spend $500 just to get the $100 and it’s only for certain services, many trips don’t have tendering heavy stops and the ...
The budget cutting on NCL shows for passengers who have cruised NCL before. For example, there are no hash browns at breakfast and they are not available by request, even in the sit down restaraunts. The entertainment (Choir of Man) is fine and in line with other companies, but it is not the exceptional entertainment that NCL used to be known for. The food in the main dining rooms has been pared ...
We were in a Sky Suite on the 11th Floor and there was major popping and banging (not creaking) in the Walls while at sea that did not allow us to sleep. Imagine Popcorn and Fireworks behind your head. They tried to fix it during our first port day and could not. We heard others complaining about this problem in their rooms also and now see the other complaints on the review boards. We ended up ...
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 ...
Really shocked at how standards have fallen! This was a third rate cruise, dirty cutlery, grubby carpets in the Horizon Court, disgusting tables with grime all around the silicon where they were not cleaned adequately. There was an outbreak of D&V on board during the first part of our cruise, we actually boarded on the 1st of March. We complained about the lack of cleanliness many times, our ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
