Lousy cruise

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Valor

This is the sixth cruise we have taken with Carnival. This was BY FAR the worst cruise we have ever taken. * The Valor appeared to be a run-down, aging ship. Stats show it to be 19 years old but appeared much older. * We voiced our dissatisfaction to Guest Services mid-cruise but never received any follow up to our concerns. * Our last cruise was aboard the Mardi Gras and it was great. ...

We combined a trip to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans with this cruise. This was the only reason for selecting the Glory. Our hotel (Holiday Inn Express) is a little over a half mile from the cruise terminal but after walking the Riverwalk and Convention Center, I don't think that there is a way to get there other than by taxi. Cost was around $20. We had an early check in time and from ...

Underwhelming and out of control

I chose this cruise based on my previous experience with Carnival and the destination. We got on board to back to back disappointments while trying to stay positive. I would say first, the FEW out of control guest who seem to want to make other guest their entertainment are the primary reason we will never take another Carnival cruise. These groups are typically those individuals who laugh and ...

I chose this ship because the terminal was within driving distance. I took my brother on his first cruise. This was my 8th cruise, but the first on Carnival. We had a blast since we have fun regardless of situations. The service on this ship was nonexistent on the pool decks and in seating areas around the ship. I requested two twin beds in the cabin and this was not addressed before we boarded. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was my very 1st cruise and it was booked for me for my birthday. It was for 4 days. Some of the foods were served cold and distasteful. That was fine. My main ussie was being attacked by bedbugs! I started i5ching day 2! By the time we got back I was swollen, itching and red on my arms, legs and ear. I made an appointment and it was confirmed that it was bedbugs. I had to get a shot and ...

We did our first family cruise with our 12 year old son and 6 year old daughter. My husband and I cruised alone in 2022, so we wanted our kids to have a fun cruise experience to the Caribbean. We departed out of NOLA, where we did some non-NCL tours prior to and after the cruise. NOLA isn't kid-friendly, but we did enjoy our time there. I heard a lot of complaints about the NOLA terminal, but we ...

I sailed the 7-night April 9-16, 2023 cruise aboard the NCL Breakaway. The cruise departed from and returned to New Orleans. POSITIVES: *Great food in 3 main restaurants. NCL really stands out in this area. I can say this is a company-wide trait and one that influences me to keep sailing NCL. *Water slides were great when working. *Harvest Caye is excellent. *The crew is ...

Worst Cruise Experience Ever

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

I chose this cruise because I was off for Spring Break and needed a refresh. I have been on other Carnival cruises so this wasn't a first time cruise. First off, there were no welcoming vibes at all on the ship. Some staff were friendly but most weren't. The highlights were the port day excursions. The down side was too many kids running in hallways and making lots of noise. This is pure misery ...

Some friends of ours planned to go on this cruise so we decided to try out Norwegian for the first time. We normally do Royal. Wow I had no idea what a huge step or leap down it would be. I got food poisoning on the 4th day. They didn’t go to one of the stops because it was too dangerous. Even though two other ships were parked there. The lines were insane. What I had to go through to get my son ...

As I completed the survey for the cruise I as onboard last week, I felt that I needed to provide my experience as I contemplate moving forward with NCL for our vacation in August of this year. I typically chalk up small inconveniences to some having a bad day and usually don't give it a second thought, but I felt I could not let these things go as things go back to "normal". Initially, I was ...
