Port Canaveral (Orlando) Senior Cruises Reviews

While I am happy to have experienced Royal Caribbean again after two decades, I have come to the firm conclusion that this cruise line is not for me. In what seems like another lifetime, 20 years ago my parents took myself and siblings on the Splendor of the Seas the week following my college graduation. I have only fantastic memories of the ship, service, food and ports of call (San Juan, St. ...

This was the 7th cruise for me and the 8th for my wife. This was the first time on Norwegian for either of us. Other cruises have been with Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Port stops included Porta Plata, DR, St. John, Antigua, St. Thomas, USVI, San Juan, PR and the cruise line’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. There were two complete sea days on this nine-day cruise. We booked ...

Me and my wife chose Norwegian for the length of the cruise and the airfare special they offer 2nd person flys for free but this offer was a nightmare we wanted to fly in day before but we were talked out of it and guaranteed to arrive on time Norwegian will get your on the boat no matter what etc etc so we we let them take care of everything well United airline delayed our flight one hour for ...

We were a party of six seniors. We chose the cruise because the timing worked and there was something new for everyone to see as far as ports. The boarding process was easy and efficient. I would say there is no need to board early unless you want to explore the ship. Rooms were not ready for hours after we boarded. The onboard entertainment was good in general. The performers had a lot ...

Chose Carnival because our 30 year old son with special needs loves the nightlife. Have done several Carnival cruises because of that, and dozens of cruises on other lines, but first time on Freedom. I’m writing this review here because we never got our survey from Carnival, even after asking their Guest Services for it (not good). Our room, a rear balcony on deck 6, was nice. “I Made” was a ...

We chose this cruise because of dates, location, and itinerary. The Carnival Magic appeared very run down. Lots of rust and flaking paint. Our cabin with balcony was fine. Lido deck was fine. The main issue is Carnival taking the "magic" out of the dining room experience at night. We have cruised over 25 years and have seen a steady decline in that experience. Tablecloths and multiple ...

My husband and I had booked this cruise last year but due to the boat catching fire, it was canceled and refunded and a free cruise was given to use before May of 2023. We chose to do the freedom. This is our first carnival cruise but not our first cruise. The staff was friendly for the most part but not exceptionally friendly and we did tip in addition to pre paid gratuities. Our room steward, ...

We chose this cruise ship because we cruised same ship in mid December. Then ship went into dry dock. It certainly did not make any improvements. If anything maintenance was lacking. Service in the Main dining room was very slow. Food brought luke warm. And they cut the menu in half. Asked for a paper cup to bring 2 coffees to our room and was told that I had to get them from bar on deck ...

We had to use a COVID credit before it expired so we chose this 3-night cruise on Royal Caribbean to Coco Cay which we love. We got to the port just after 11:00 a.m. and the check-in was very quick and easy. There was no need to explore the ship since we are Diamond Club members and have been on many RCCL cruises before so we headed to the Windjammer Buffet. This was the beginning of the worst ...

We chose the Carnival Magic for the itinerary which included the Southern Caribbean islands of Aruba and Bonaire. It hadn't been an issue on previous cruises, but this cruise was short on entertainment during the day. We could only play so many trivia games before deciding to seek a more port-intensive cruise in the future. Trying to sit by the pool was useless. The passengers were up first ...
