Excellent cruise from Rio to Lisbon. Very friendly staff. Atmosphere is upscale-casual: Few men wore sport jackets at any time. Ship was about 3/4 full, with almost all passengers being in their fifties and up. There were no children. Large mix of nationalities (US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc.). It got a bit rocky towards the end of the cruise and the captain chose to skip the Madeira port of ...
The ship was excellent and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. The only detractors were the distances from port to excursion destinations for a few places. 2-3 hour journey times were often the case. We didn’t go to Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh because of this. Instead we spent an overnight in Pattaya which wa only 40 minutes in a taxi (£8 on a Grab taxi rather than the $60 US the taxis were looking ...
A basic cruise that went just as expected. This is not the largest or fanciest cruise but it is well maintained. The itinerary is what you can expect from a four night cruise.
We ate at the Italian and chops specialty restaurants and the service in those was great as was the food. It was very pricy in there though and they do try to sell you a picture in those restaurants.
The buffet was ...
This was not my 1st cruise with Carnival, but it may be my last. I know this ship isn't the newest, but I stayed on older and smaller ones in the past that put this to shame!
The Food- It was terrible, from the scramble egg soup in the morning all the way to the tougher than leather "Prime Rib" at dinner. It was bad. The buffet was the same food they served at dinner. Just somehow worse. I ...
We were part of the Cleveland Browns Fan Cruise Group on this cruise. We chose a Junior Suite on Deck 10 and were very pleased with it.

Our steward, JR, was very funny and quite accommodating.
We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony for breakfast three of the five mornings.
There was more than enough space to store all of our items. I am pretty sure we ...
Our first cruise in 30 years and had a great experience overall. We were dropped off at the port terminal and an attendant checked our bags immediate. We went through check-in with only a 5 minute wait and were in our stateroom within 15 minutes of arriving at the port.
We had fairly calm seas the entire trip and the cooler weather leaving Fort Lauderdale soon turned to warmer Caribbean ...
MSC Magnifica is just magnificent . They made our spring break super fun and memorable. Food, hospitality, entertainment, events everything was spot on . Their entertainment manager Graham had another level of energy to keep the entire group engaged. Variety of food was great. Shopping experience on the ship was also great. Pools were nice and clean. Gym was nice and especially protein shakes ...
Embarking on the Carnival Cruise from Tampa, Florida, from March 10th to March 16th, 2024, was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. The highlight of our journey was the exceptional service provided by our stateroom attendant, Antara. His attention to detail, warmth, and dedication to ensuring our comfort made our stay on the Carnival ship truly special.
Moreover, the ...
We went on a cruise to the Dominican Republic and Grand Turk, and one of the best experiences was the crew, like they go above and beyond to the fullest extent to make sure I had the time of my life, there was 3,900 passengers aboard and they still remembered our names, and always asked how we was doing, if they can get us anything, I mean hands down the crew was spectacular, so hats off to ...
The ship has an elegant interior which is kept spotlessly clean. All passengers were greeted with a glass of champagne on embarkation which foreshadowed the great service for the whole cruise. Cabins were immediately available so after unpacking we went to the aft buffet for a snack. We were warmly greeted and treated to nice glasses of wine while admiring the view of Hong Kong in somewhat chilly ...
