We are platinum members, and this cruise was a nightmare. First, we always get a handicap room, since my husband is very unsteady and uses a walker. Upon arrival, we were booked a regular inside room, which, means the bathroom has a step up and a very small shower. Our agent assured us he booked us a handicap room. Went to guest services and no rooms were available. Entertainment was terrible! ...
We booked this trip because we were looking for a short cruise to the Caribbean and heard good reviews about the food. The food was a huge disappointment. If pork cheek, pork belly, not thoroughly cooked chicken and a minuscule selection of vegetables is your idea of good food then this is the cruise for you. Breakfast far surpassed anything we were served for dinner. Virgin boasts 20+ Michelin ...
It's my second Carnival and I was supposed to get on the newest and biggest ship in the carnival fleet. I give the food in general 3 stars. THEY DO NOT HAVE A VARIETY of meals in their non-paying restaurants. It is very repetitive and there is no variety. The Soda vending machines do not work and are VERY scarce. If you buy a package of soda and are used to Royal Caribbean, forget it! It's even ...
Traveled with my husband and two teens. Not much to do for teens. Teen club was a huge disappointment. Ship was way too crowded. Couldn't get even 1 chair near the pools. People put their stuff on the chairs for the entire day. You're constantly online waiting, even sometimes at the buffet. Food is fine, very repetitive by the 3rd day. Kids had the soda package. Half the machines ...
My recent voyage aboard the Carnival Cruise Dream from April 6th to 14th was a rollercoaster of experiences, ranging from delightful surprises to disappointing letdowns.
Let's start with the positives. Among the sea of mediocrity, two stars shone brightly. Dewa, our room attendant, embodied excellence in customer service. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made our stay memorable. ...
The only good experience was our room housekeeper and our bed. The premium balcony that we bid up for had no footstools, so they brought us little table things. An officer was out smoking in an area that blew his smoke right into our balcony making us go inside. The crew elsewhere in santorini seemed unhappy. we ordered at salty dog-the girl wrote down wrong number, so as we waited for our ...
Overall a good value for the money as it was an easy drive into the city. The ship was clean and maintained well inside and out.
We enjoyed sitting outside on deck five in the various areas. On sea days there was a lack of quiet places to relax and chat. I really enjoyed the staff at the Amari Bar…Shout out to Vlad, Jennifer and Jefferson for being artists of mixology!
Food was good, not ...
We took a cruise to celebrate Spring Break. We departed from Miami Terminal G. Upon first arrival in the terminal, the age and lack of cleanliness were apparently going to foreshadow the remainder of the trip. While everyone in the terminal was very nice, it just was not up to the Celebrity status that we have come accustomed to.
Our first stop was in Key West which did go smoothly. It was ...
This ship had the slowest elevators i have ever seen. Had to take stairs most of the time. It was supposedly remodeled recently, so you would think it would be faster not slower. The service in the buffet was horrible. We had to chase down someone for drinks everytime except once. The housekeeping staff was AMAZING though. The spa staff was wonderful also. Just very disappointed in the over all ...
The cruise was ok. Getting on and off at ports was fairly easy and quick. There was a lot to choose from once you were off the ship. The excursions offered on board were much more expensive than if you just got off and got one of the ones they were selling at the ports. There were not as many activities as we liked on board and their "main" area was not big at all. There were not many bigger pools ...
