Norfolk to Bermuda Family Cruises Reviews

Chose this cruise because we could drive to the starting point. At the very beginning we were assaulted with ear splitting music in the lobby where arriving passengers were held. Everything Carnival did in terms of music or announcements was at 1000 decibels. The Southern Lights dinning room was as loud as a middle school basketball game and the food was only ordinary, The Lido Deck food was far ...

We chose this cruise because Bermuda was on my husband's bucket list. We had sailed this ship a couple times before. We stayed the night before at a hotel where we could leave our car. We had heard horror stories of carnival's parking. I know the ship is old but I like mid size ships. Getting around was not bad. Good lay out. buffet food not so good. Our cabin steward was great. ...

We have always traveled Carnival. So when we found a cruise going to Bermuda leaving from Va. We thought GREAT!!! Wrong, instead of Bermuda we had to go see the Baha mamas!! This was the worst experience I have had from flying on American > That's another Story. The cruise was a rough cruise. From them getting my Cruise agreement as far as how much cash we got and down to unlimited drinks in ...

This was my first Carnival cruise. I’ve cruised with many other lines but since the Magic is ported here in Norfolk I figured I would give it a shot. I am highly disappointed with Carnival. 1. 90% of the staff seemed upset/annoyed when requesting a drink at the bar or ordering food at your table. I felt like I was a burden to almost the entire staff save for one or two. 2. The plan of the ...

Loved the destination of Bermuda and a driveable port--Norfolk, VA. Embarkation was challenging because Norfolk is not set up for cruises of over 3000 people. Very slow and disorganized. Get there before your assigned time and be prepared to wait. Once on the ship, everything was nearly perfect the whole week. Only complaint was our dinner dining room waiters did not get our dinner orders ...

Chose this ship because it sailed out of our home port area. The convince of leaving from a home port is a plus. This was our third cruise but first time on Carnival. I wasn’t as impressed as I was on our Royal Caribbean cruises but we still had a great time. The dinning room food was just okay and shows were good but not enough variety. We enjoyed the Best of Bermuda excursion. Though 5 ...

Food was served cold most nights in the dining room. Guys was our savior. Food selection in dining room very limited. The entertainment or lack of, was horrible. The Floor shows are 2nd rate and they no longer have a show band. It's obvious they are cutting corners and staff is limited. No nightlife except for the casino. The staff where all very friendly. They all really work hard to be helpful. ...

only had to travel 15 minutes to port. Rooms were great, but received very poor service in anytime dining. Recommend people sign up for designated time. anytime dining is like a mase that is difficult to get through. Service was lousy and food was not what we ordered. But I will definitely cruise the sunshine again. Overall we had a great time. Free drinks in the casino, cookies in the room, Free ...

Carnival is reaching new lows each yr. Hard to book em any more, but we wanted to see Bermuda. The Food was a severe dissapointment. Service just as bad. We expect freshly cooked food in Dining Room, but this was not the case. Entre's were all overcooked, dried out and obviously had been sitting under warming lamps for long times. Ordered a snapper entre that looked like dried out ...

This was our first time on SPLENDOR, and our seventh on Carnival, and I will have to say, the Fantasy and Spirit Class of ship is MUCH more to our liking. The first thing to hit you (slap you in the face kind of way) is all that PINK!!...from Deck 3 all the way to Deck 11. You enter the elevators, again...pink. You go to the MDR's (3 of them) Gold Pearl, Black Pearl, Pink Pearl, and they are ...
