I chose this cruise because my family wanted to cruise and not have to fly to do it. I had been on this ship before and it was ok. I thought it would be better this time since it was a few years ago since my last trip. SMOKING, SMOKING, SMOKING, I had no idea that carnival allowed smoking on the ship, at almost 4 areas. I was sick the entire time, the smoke caused lung issues and breathing ...
Not the best cruise I've been on. We have sailed on Norwegian before, and looked forward to doing so again. The embarkation process was smooth and easy, but that was the best part. The food was mediocre at best, especially in the buffet which had limited choices and was usually very crowded. They only use paper straws, which makes enjoying a frozen drink impossible as they collapse half way ...

I am the first to admit, once you get soured against something, it is hard to see the good. I have taken a step back to try and see just what made this cruise so bad.
I can guess at the reason some things are the way they are or I can enumerate theissues. .....
This boat is newer and was ...
I love cruising. Having sailed many cruises, itineraries, ship sizes, cabin types and lines from luxury to value. I do my homework before choosing and CC has provided many helpful tips. My mantra has always been ALL cruises are wonderful (even a less than stellar one) …Until sailing the Carnival Horizon. I was excited about sailing this new ship and seeing all its offerings . The ports of call ...
I do not like RCL. I simply don't like how they do things. Nevertheless, my Mother who is Diamond on RCL said I should experience an Oasis Class Ship at least once in my life so off we went. While some things were good it was generally a terrible experience. I will try to cover both in my review. Our cabin was one of those that had a balcony facing the inside of the ship. If we never left Miami I ...
My husband and I cruised this ship 09/30 until 10/5 what an disappointment. Our intention with booking was finding an Itinerary that did not port in Nassau. This seemed to do just that. However on our way to Amber cove the captain announced there were mechanical issues with the ship that had to do with the speed and would not be able to stop in Amber cove but would port in Nassau. Passengers ...
When the night of your cruise is how well the bar staff and your room steward is that should tell you a lot. Twice while dinning inmain formal dinning room our order was lost. We spent over hour 15 minute both times. The menu basically change between 2 different ones.so unless you opt for paying extra for meals dont expect any thing of quality. The back buffet serves hot dog and hamburger till ...
We booked this cruise at the last minute for my Birthday. It was on sale and we got a killer deal.
Pros.
Loved my group of people. Loved the other cruisers. The pizza & gelato were great. Embarkation was smooth. The port stops were great.
Cons
Boat does need refurbished. (Warped decks, loose tiles in the shower)
Dining room service was awful. At one point we walked out ...
Reason we chose this cruise: It was in a day drive, low budget and fit into fall break for our teen.
Embarkation and disembarkation was very smooth and efficient.
Ship was old and dated and many of the areas on the ship had cosmetic issues - tiles off of walls, cracks and rust.
After the second night in the dining room we successfully found a great service team that we stuck with for ...
We took this one cause it was cheap my wife found last minute tickets. We had to drive from Minnesota to Miami in 2 days. I have cruised before so I was really looking forward to this. It was also my wife and mine 21 wedding anniversary. We got one the ship with no problem after about a 1/2 mile walk. Once on board we looked around and went to find something to eat. First place food wasn't good. ...
