I am an 84 year old woman who has been on 33 cruises, but I had a hip replacement in 2019 and use a mobility scooter or a walker. I can no longer navigate an airport by myself. My companion of choice on this cruise was Phyllis, my 3rd daughter's mother-in-law, who was recently widowed, and is a little younger and a lot fitter than I am. She had been on several cruises - the most recent one was ...
Tavo from Cabo should be the entertainment director not the asst. Director. This is what irritates me about human resource departments and their jaded decisions! Mario, George, Giuseppe, and Fransico great restaurant managers all 10 days went above and beyond! Alix FD manager on cruise should be rewarded by Princess as an elite performer of service!
Fransico and Eusepio great waiters! oh yea, ...
First, fill out the Information for the Medallion App way in advance of the cruise. We did and it was a flawless experience from embarkation for disembarkation. Once you do this, the Medallion Class is amazing. Second, if you have any questions, ASK. EVERYONE will help. Also, there are step by step videos that will show you how to do EVERYTHING.
Now, on to the cruise. The Sail Away celebration ...
First time for me on Carnival. Wife's second. Long time cruisers over 25 total. Sitmar, Princess many. Oceania Norwegian, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean many. After reading some not so good reviews on Miracle and my past readings about Carnival in general I didn't expect much on this Cruise. It was a 5 day LA Cabo round trip. The price was cheaper than flying to Cabo so why not. All I can say is that ...
The main reason we chose this cruise is that it would be in Cabo for a day and a half and we have friends living there that we wanted to visit. The Carnival Miracle worked out perfectly for our needs. We got to spend 2 wonderful days with our friends who showed us around their beautiful area. We knew the ship was a little older but everything was fine and the price we paid was fantastic. The ...
We chose this cruise to see the Panama Canal for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Our children joined us which was a wonderful treat. We were very impressed with the embark and disembark process which was very professionally handled and the assistance for my disabled husband. The covid testing at the port was well organized too. Covid protocols were definitely in place and staff encouraged all ...
This cruise was originally booked in 2019 for sailing on March 13, 2020. The day before sailing, the cruise was cancelled due to Covid. It was rebooked 3 times before we finally were able to sail. We were more than ready! The pre-cruise Covid testing passed and we were on our way to LA. The night prior to the cruise, we received a text saying we would have a Covid test prior to boarding. ...
I chose this cruise because it was going to Hawaii and I believed it would be safer because of the destination as well as the vaccination and testing requirements. We were detained for a few hours before boarding due to Hawaii requiring us to get tested again before we boarded even though we had to be tested 2 days before. It made me feel safer. We paid to upgrade from an interior to a balcony. ...
I am a prior NCL Bliss cruiser (Nov 2019). Back in December there was a Amex rebate for NCL bookings. This cruise did not have the usual punishing single surcharge, I had a $250 Cruise Next Certificate on the books. I booked a Sailaway inside, and then a day later the price dropped. I called to upgrade to a balcony. After issues with the first NCL CSR, (upgraded me two categories instead of ...
I chose this cruise since I had never cruised the Mexican Riviera before. The ship is beautiful, the staff was extremely friendly. Due to COVID restrictions, the ship was only about 1/3 full, and so nothing was over crowded. The Pool area always had deck chairs, and the bars, restaurants and even the buffet had ample seating. With as small a passenger list, it was easy to make friends ...
