Carnival Cruise Reviews for Romantic from New York (Manhattan)

Carnival Cruise Line is known as the Fun Ships and they definitely are fun! This was my 7th Carnival Cruise and 9th overall cruise. We boarded the Carnival Magic in Manhattan New York. The boarding process was pretty easy and very organized. The only problem with Manhattan Terminal is that they do not let you wait anywhere, so you have to arrive on time and depart quickly. For those of you ...

Carnival is there to take your money but not there to stand by their service.The boat was in poor condition like our phone didn’t work and the shower door didn’t close.They won’t refund money easily but take it fast.Also people with disabilities have a rude awakening. I can’t even get ahold of them to ask for a refund .Lesson learn I have a list of things go wrong. Couldn’t go to dining room ...

It has been a long time since we've cruised with Carnival as we are Platinum members, and we wanted to go back to Bermuda for a 5 day trip. We chose the Magic because this was the only ship available for this time period. The check-in process was smooth and we were the 1st group to be boarded on. Disembarkation, however was horrific as everyone just got in line and waited for long periods of ...

I struggle with this review...we've only sailed on Carnival, this was our 9th cruise, and this was our first cruise post-covid. Of our 9 cruises, 7 have been from NYC due to its proximity to our home. Overall it was a fine cruise, nothing super great, nothing super bad, but just some wear and tear on the brand that we're seeing: 1) Embarkation. We actually felt that this was wonderful, ...

A nine day "journey" cruise was interesting; Check-in: This was pleasant and easy. The agents were pleasant and welcoming at the port. Onboard: The staff from housekeeping, Food and beverage to entertainment wa excellent, with some notes The Punchliner Comedy club: Needs Improvement. With a diverse guest, there was NOT a single comedian of colour!! I would give a 2 ot five.. Room ...

We had an 8 person family group going to Bermuda for the first time. The boarding in Manhattan was a total disaster. We arrived 5 minutes before our scheduled block of time to get on the ship and were directed to a never ending line outside the building. We waited for over 2 hours on the dock walking on piles of pigeon droppings with no explanation from anyone what was going on. Finally one of ...

The Cabin Stewart's and Dinning/Ledo Deck Buffet Workers Beyond Great workers. The Cabin was very small but served the purpose and the Cabin Stewart's worker were Great. The Dining staff was also Great too. As for the Dining Room BBQ Ribs and the Short Ribs were fantastic, they melted like butter in your mouth and perfectly cooked. The Cruise Director was very disappointing. Was ...

From the beginning to the end was horrible. I've been on 7 cruises and this one I was miserable. You first get to the ship and so unorganized and not knowing where to go. One line you would get in to be told no go to another line then a long line with gaps outside and people just jumping in wherever to get a green dot. 2 hrs in line to go inside to another line . Another hour later lead to another ...

I chose this cruise as it left from a port than was about 1.5 hours away. Drove from Philly to NYC. Paid $160 for parking at the terminal. My two daughters ( ages 5 and 12) went with me. We dropped our bag at the terminal, parked, and went into the terminal. Went through the checkpoints rather easily and quickly. No issues, Waited about 20 minutes in the terminal before we boarded the ship. Rooms ...

We took this cruise because of the Casino promotion made it a deal difficult to pass. We had no high expectations. We usually cruise with Royal Caribbean, and the only other Carnival cruise (the one that gave us the casino promotion) was horrible. But actually it was an awesome cruise! Entertainment was fantastic - much better than on RC Adventure of the seas or NCL Escape. And the Magic is ...
