Miami to the Bahamas Cruise Reviews

This was my 5th cruise with Carnival, the last 4 were awesome! Unfortunately, this particular one was not so awesome. I took my 80 year old mother, this was her first cruise, she was not impressed. It was too packed, some areas were like sardines, long lines for buffet and other food stations. We dined in the first night and it was our last night dining in. There was a $24 surcharge for filet ...

They have meetups for people travelling solo, which they call "Solo Sailors". We can connect through their app. We were supposed to be able to message each other, so that we could arrange going to events together, but the option to message was not even present. One of the other Solo Sailors said she was told by Virgin to use Whats App. But people feel very reluctant to give their contact info ...

We are avid and experienced cruisers. We tried NCL years ago so we thought we would try them again. Big mistake. We have never experienced so much nickel and diming in our lives. Your cruise includes a few restaurants but there is constant encouragement to eat at one of the many speciality restaurants at a considerable a la carte cost. The quality of food that one expects from a cruise is only ...

The GOOD: The cruise ship was fine and the staff/crew were extraordinarily friendly/helpful. My 7 yr old son loved the big slides on board. The Garden Cafe on deck 16 was scrumptious. The NOT SO GOOD: Our balcony room was fine ‘til we realized the seal around the doors was messed up and caused a constant whistling noise. We were told that we had to be in port before they could fix it so we had ...

The restaurants were pretty good but they lacked knowledge and or ability to accommodate food allergies. I was served bread and other things I cannot safely eat. I dined with another traveler with a nut allergy that was served nuts. The staff response was underwhelming. They also tell you Wi-Fi is free and then try and charge you extra for service that actually works. Pool was way too small. At ...

So, I tried Norwegian for my birthday and Norwegian needs to do better. The dining is subpar. Even worse there a barely any restaurant options. The cabins are extremely small, really for one person, there were 3 of us. And to make things worse, we were at two of our ports of call for maybe 5 hrs! Oh and in addition to the very small cabins, if you want to watch TV, there are barely any channels to ...

Just got home from the Freedom of the Seas July 31, 2023 cruise from Miami. I have been cruising over 50 years with 6 different cruise lines and while I always found RCL to be a class above most other cruise lines I find I can no longer boast of RCL’s top notch status. Yes, I realize as an older person I recall the days of excellence and being spoiled while cruising and find it sad our younger ...

I had very high hopes for the cruise, I have never cruised with MSC before. My family and I found a great deal on a brand new ship and we decided why not, let's take the chance. We have only ever cruised with Royal Caribbean and have had nothing but fantastic remarks for RC but they tend to be pricey. Embarkation on the Seascape was a breeze really no issues there. Our stateroom was a standard ...

Wanted to go on a cruise to the Bahamas. Was told food would be first class. My food was cold. My pasta was hard. The pancakes tasted expired. It takes forever to get your food. The elevators were awful. You would have to wait either 5 minutes for a elevator or walk down flights and flights of stairs. The bar took forever to take your order and get your drink. Very crowded and felt very cramped. ...

We were looking forward to this cruise with great enthusiasm and we didn't like it at all. The cabins are very small not for 4 people. The food in the 3 complementary restaurants are the same and the the manhattans restaurant, the taste and the savor. Restaurant reservations must be made before boarding the cruise because it is impossible on the cruise. Small place to do the glow party to many ...
