Port Canaveral (Orlando) to the Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Overall we had a great cruise. Staff always great on royal. We tried the ultimate dining package for the first time. We where one of the first to board and we went right to Jamie's to make bookings for the whole week. We where only able to get two reservations for dinner at chops and no lunches. So I feel sorry for people that didn't get on the ship early enough to get reservations. WE ate at ...

This was our first cruise since February 2020 -- we had five cruises cancelled over the (to date, still ongoing) pandemic. (As a point of reference: we've done 27 cruises prior to this on Royal, Carnival, Celebrity, and HAL.) About ten days prior to sailing, an appellate court struck down the mask mandate for public transportation (this will be relevant later). Due to dropped balls on our travel ...

This was our 23 Carnival cruise and was extremely disappointed. Upon our first use of shower the bathroom flooded. The first meal staff was scraping and stacking our plates at our table as we ate desert. We were served raw and I mean raw meat twice on lido. The eggs looked like soup. Everything was Luke warm at best many items have been removed. Only half the buffet was open on a full ship. ...

We always try to cruise after the winter months we have a small group and have been doing this for years. This year was much anticipated since many were cancelled last year. Having said all that I must say I was disappointed on a few things, First and foremost the internet or should I say the lack of. Another item I was totally amazed by was the food portions at dinner my on entre came with ...

WE were happy to get back to cruising despite covid restrictions. We knew things would not be the same as precovid but did not feel it would be a bad vacation.Most people followed the rules ,but as always some onboard put themselves first and tried to skirt the regs. The food on this cruise was good esp. Guys burgers and barbeque. The entertainment was sub par ,but that was the only thing we found ...

This was our 2nd MSC cruise. We were on Seaside in November 2019 in the Yacht Club and received future cruise credit when MSC canceled 2 ports without telling anyone prior to embarkation. The FCC and a great sale (Balcony for the price of an Inside) along with a great itinerary made this cruise attractive. A couple of months before sailing I was checking if excursions were up (they didn't get ...

Both of us are Diamonds and Casino at Sea members so we did get some perks, like free laundry and a Captains Lunch for Diamonds and Platinums. We got a great casino offer (free room and drinks in the casino) for this cruise actually had a good time in the updated two level (smoking on 5, nonsmoking on deck 4)casino. Great new games and terrific hosts there. The Good: As usual, Carnival has ...

Two diamond members here .great price was our reason for this cruise . we over all enjoyed it with the exception of rude people everywhere , especially when using the elevator. People would pack into the elevator before you could even get off. The ( i wanna be first crowd ruled on this ship) . Just amazed me that so many people will try to pack into an elevator with covid still being a problem ...

This was a 14 day Journeys cruise. With mostly older passengers and a ton of Platinum & Diamond sailing it was not your typical cruise. Embarkation was a dream. Debarkation was a nightmare...because of so many platinum (which I am ) and Diamond guests all trying to get off the ship ASAP when we docked in Port Canaveral. Not a normal situation but one I feel Carnival staff could have been ...

Consensus among some was that Carnival is implementing more cost cutting measures on board. Ship still in good shape and service from stateroom staff is still great, but availability of staff elsewhere can be lacking. Resupply of out of stock restaurant/bar items did not seem to occur during the cruise. The most obvious seeming cost cutting is the food; In the Lido, proteins, with FEW ...
