Terrible cruise experience

Review for Norwegian Bliss to Mexican Riviera

User Avatar

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

It was overall a really bad experience. Common areas were not large enough to comfortably accommodate the amount of passengers. It was very similar to Vegas. Maybe half the staff that was needed to accommodate a full ship. Room was barely cleaned late in the day. No turn down service. Took forever to get a drink at the bars and there was no service at chairs or tables besides in the sit down ...

Review for Carnival Panorama to Mexican Riviera

We chose this cruise because we had a previous great experience on the carnival dream. We were leery of the reputation carnival had with party animals and were hesitant to bring our toddler on as a result, however given our previous experience we chose them anyway on a Mexico sailing. The ship itself is beautiful and once you get a feel of that flow of design it makes a lot of sense and you can ...

Best cruise ever

I chose this cruise for my birthday. I was not disappointed at all. Living in California, it's a 55 minute flight into lax/ lgb. The bus took us right to the porters. Check in was a breeze. We had balcony aft which was a standard balcony. Our cabin steward was always around but never in the way. Always an earshot away. The food was the best mdr I had eaten in any cruise I've been on. The ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

If you are preparing to go on carnival radiance here’s a few things to expect: -Stuck up and flat out rude employees (especially guest services) -Mediocre food that will bloat you and make you sick. -Every “free” trial of the spa or whatever exclusive service they have to offer is just a scam to try and sell you the program. -Every “free” ítem they offer on their app for events ...

Will never do Lindblad/NatGeo again

We chose this trip as it was billed as 'active' and showed much promise. Wow were we disappointed. First off be aware that NatGeo cruises are expensive. Very. So hey attract a primarily elderly clientele. I'm in my sixties and was one of the youngest passengers. As a result the movement of people is slow. Painfully slow. Getting on and off zodiacs and shore is a real chore. This was ...

Disorganized, slow and unhappy staff

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We chose this Cruise because we are on the West Coast and leaving from LA was cheaper than the Caribbean. Also, we were able to pay for this cruise using Air Miles points. The Norwegian Bliss is a giant ship full of Staterooms - not open spaces, not beautiful fine finishes, just more staterooms... "pack 'em in like cattle" should be their motto. No seating at the Buffett, wait in line at every ...

First Disney Cruise was Great Fun

Review for Disney Wonder to Mexican Riviera

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

We choose this cruise because of the convenience of the port of San Diego for our 1st cruise on the Disney Cruise Line. Previously we have only cruised one other time on the NCL Pride of America in Hawaii, many years ago. This sailing we sailed without children. We drove over from the Phoenix area on Saturday, the day before the cruise, and started vacation with a visit with friends. We picked ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

This was our sixth NCL cruise If this was our first cruise ever on NCL, it's unlikely we would ever return. So many things went sideways on this cruise. Just challenges all week long. First, embarkation at San Pedro was the worst it has ever been. Handicapped passengers were ignored and repeatedly lied to about boarding. We waited THREE hours in the terminal for wheelchair assistance, ...

Received a Blue Chip offer for this sailing in a concierge aft cabin. Cabin: Loved loved the cabin!!! So relaxing. Was able to watch the whales from our balcony as we approached Cabo! Cabin steward was fantastic, concierge class was a nice surprise: excellent embarkation lunch, priority disembarkation, free bottle of champagne and daily cheese tray! Being aft was a very quiet ...

We are Disney fans and have only cruised once before, 18 years ago, on the Disney Wonder on a three-night itinerary in the Bahamas. This was our return to cruising. The Port of San Diego is within driving distance for us so not having airfare costs was helpful. My husband and I are in our mid-fifties and we were traveling with our adult son who is in his mid-twenties. We booked a guaranteed ...
