New York (Manhattan) to the Bahamas Cruise Reviews

I choose this cruise because the family was going which I was a little skeptical about going since we didn't enjoy the first one all that well either but the family was going so we went despite our better judgment. I can't believe the absolute nightmare my family and I endured during our recent cruise on the Norwegian Joy from August 20 to 30, 2023. We had not one, not two, but a whopping nine ...

To say I’m disappointed in this cruise and the fact that I spent all this money to go on it would be an understatement. This boat has been the worst boat I’ve ever been on, making this the worst vacation for me and my entire family. From the services being absolutely horrible, with nasty workers rolling their eyes at you each way you turn all the way to the horrific food(whether you get from the ...

We were excited to be sailing on a new Carnival ship out of NY. The decor was nice but there are still a few kinks for Carnival to work out. Casino had NO tournaments (slot, blackjack, Texas hold 'em) - disappointed. Just about all of the promotions in the casino were directed toward Elite members. Same comedian onboard for entire 8-days. Entertainment was underwhelming Pools were ...

The hospitality of the waiters and waitresses. (Amir, Edy, and Naveen Kumar) Especially housekeeping staff. 8th deck housekeeping. Very gentle man. The employees at the stores were very polite and helpful making decisions for jewelry (Sagar, Sagar, Pricilla, Mitchie, Maverick, and the boss; Brazilian). The ship was very clean and comfortable. The architecture was divine, something out of a dream. ...

Chose this cruise because it was out of NY. I had a free cruise offer from Carnival and didn't want to fly. Whole booking process was great. Agents were friendly, no wait times. I traveled with a friend. Checked in ahead of time on app. Went very smooth. Port was mobbed, but again, smooth check in. Got on ship, had to wait until 130 to have access to cabin. Key cards were in mailbox ...

Wow! What a incredible experience. Great service. Flawless dinning experience. Every specialty Resturant was award winning and exceeded the expectations. The carnival Venezia is truly a beautiful ship. The buffet, Guy burgers, Java Blue, the deli, the pizza station, tornado's….wow…wow…wow exceeded the expectations. The main dining hall atmosphere, food, and service was premier and also ...

I never received an email with a post cruise survey from carnival. I tried going through their website, but the survey locked up halfway through. Here is my input- Good: - Ship was beautiful, appearance and cleanliness - Kids clubs activities and the staff, my 9 & 12 year old were very happy going there - Getting on and off was easy. We were fortunate when they called for an early ...

Let me start by saying I never write reviews. I’m a busy Mom of 4 and I just never have the time. That being said, this cruise was so horrifyingly awful that I’m taking the time to go out of my way and warn others. I had expected to experience a certain amount of inconvenience, knowing that the ship was new to Carnival, but decided to go ahead with my plans despite the reviews I had read. Allow me ...

We chose this cruise because it was a newer boat and it was sailing out of NY which is driving distance for us. I have a family of 4, kids 17 and 14. We have been on several cruises but this boat was the worst by far. There are only two pools on this boat and they are little. Like cruise ships from the 80's little. Kids are allowed in both pools and totally take over with splashing, ...

This was my family & I's first Norwegian Cruise, 14th overall for me, 13th for the rest of my family. We have been on Royal Caribbean & Disney Cruise Line in the past. We knew going into the cruise that Norwegian pride itself on its "Freestyle Cruising", which is seen on almost all cruise lines today. We also knew about The Haven, which is the "ship inside a ship" concept that Norwegian has ...
