New York (Manhattan) to the Bahamas Cruise Reviews

My husband and I just cruised this weekend for his Father's Day gift, The boat is insignificant compared to most we have cruised on, so it made very crowded. I see more staff standing around talking to each other instead of taking care of the needs of the boat and guest. With no big food selections, we felt as though ate the same thing every day and the menu was like the restaurant you paid to ...

I just got off this cruise today and what a doozy. This was my first Carnival cruise, and officially my last. The ship was WAY too small for the number of passengers (4280). To begin, we arrived at the NYC Port and there was no one properly directing you to baggage drop off/the line to check in. People were NOT pleased. People in line for over an hour were told to get out and get back in line. ...

Just got back from an 8 day eastern Caribbean cruise on this ship. After about a 2.5 hour wait in line to get on the boat, we waited another 50 minutes for an elevator to take us to our floor. If we didn’t have heavy luggage I would gladly have taken the stairs up 6 flights instead of waiting. It was so bad we saw multiple families carrying their babies in strollers up the stairs. This would be ...

We were supposed to be on Magic but they transferred us to Venezia. Was worried at first that they moved us from the 11th floor to the 1st, but having a window and seeing the ocean right outside our room was great. Had a family suite with 2 bathrooms (1 with a toilet, the other with a tub). Was very excited that this was going to be an Italian style cruise -- I love chicken parm and Magic had ...

I chose this cruise because it was in my budget despite its very elegant look. I would sail on her again. The shows were excellent. I only went to the main theater shows and they were always sold out. If your sailing solo they have daily solo gatherings in the pub at 5pm and one day they also have a hosted meet and greet for solo travelers. The food in the mdr was very good and they will ...

I have sailed on the Holmes Line (SS Oceanic), NCL, Holland America, Carnival, Celebrity, RCI, Princess Line, and I was looking for a classic Italian Cruise Line in MSC. I read previous Cruise Critic reviews from prior passengers in Florida and was a little nervous about this trip. I have to say some of their reviews were too harsh and unfair, this cruise was the first voyage for MSC, out of NYC ...

We are a couple in their mid-fifties and had abandon NCL for 7 years after a series of decline of experience with them. We chose to come back because of a need for departure from NY. The itinerary was 10 days Bermudas, Bahamas and Port Canaveral. We couldn't go to GSC because of very strong winds. That is ok because safety is the priority ans I totally respect that. The good part: food had ...

Cruised with NCL 3 times and always enjoyed them but feel very let down by them now, the Getaway ship was totally un organised Dirty WC and wet sheets in our cabin on arrival .......... we didn't see sight of the captain in fact we didn't even see many officers !! we were herded on like cattle no welcome whatsoever, just shouted at to hurry up and move along !!! People hogging the hot tub ...

I have never cruised before, and I took the 8-night cruise out of New York to the Bahamas and Florida with an experienced cruiser as my companion because the travel dates on this Norwegian trip worked for our schedules and we could avoid flying to the departure point in Manhattan. I had low expectations, but Norwegian still managed to be a complete disappointment. Embarkation was pretty orderly ...

Wished I had read NCL reviews before booking our cruise. This was only our second cruise. First cruise was with Royal Caribbean and had nothing but great memories from it. Food was fantastic and the Port calls and overnights that were signed up for were provided as expected. Maybe due to our previous experience on the RC cruise and being kind of green with cruises we were shocked to see ...
