This was my very first cruise. It was a gift from a friend it was a spare of the moment trip. She asked me to go with her on the Friday that we got out for Thanksgiving break. She told me we were leaving that night to go to Galveston and we was going to sail out on the Saturday. She asked me to go on a cruise with her. I had a GREAATTT Time I can not wait to go on another. Next time I would like ...
We had booked a cruise for our honeymoon in 2020 but, 2020 happened and we all know how that went. Overall on Magic we have no complaints. Now the obvious is that this ship needs some TLC. Maybe dry dock this ship for a year and Reno the entire ship.
This being our first cruise we had no idea what to expect. One thing I would change is we bring our own luggage instead of checking it. We ...
Horrible! This was my first cruise ever. After this experience, it is now my mission to tell my friends, family, associates, and just anyone mentioning a cruise to never use this cruise line. The price that they charge vs what you get in return is definitely a grift. I was on the Freedom of the Seas and paid for the stateroom the only thing that was good was the ocean and that is because they do ...
We thought this Cruise would be a good opportunity to try out NCL on a bit smaller of a ship. We liked that it was a 10 days and had lots of ports. Embarkation was easy & fairly quick. We tried to bring our luggage on by ourselves but were told three times we couldn't because of the size. Our two bags were not oversized. WTH? Then upon entering the terminal we saw several people with the same ...
We were in room (Grand Suite) sailing out of Tampa to CocoCay and Nassau. We sailed in a Grand Suite on Freedom of the Seas out of Miami in Feb. this year and found the two experiences to be vastly different. Some info that's not really pro or con but just to keep in mind: The Serenade ship is smaller and therefore feels much more crowded. We could hear the music from the Centrum and pool deck in ...
The staff were great and the nightly performances were good and Coco Cay was nice, when not too crowded. Outside of the main dining room, nearly every meal disappointed. First time cruiser, but under the impression they’re trying to make up lost profits by force feeding you rock hard fruit, waxy cheese, juicy-drink concentrate, and soapy bacon(?) First red flag was a $16 martini with a couple of ...
My husband and I celebrated 20 years of marriage, and I graduated with my Masters degree. We planned to go with another couple. Long story short, we ended up with an interior room instead of a balcony as our friends were in and were very disappointed. Even worse, we paid the same amount, and their room FAR outdid ours. I would never be ok with an interior cabin again. Our cabin was so small my ...
Honestly, I had really low expectations for this cruise after reading reviews on here, but it was close, and our first cruise back after Covid. I can't believe how bad the reviews are of this amazing ship! Yes, a little older, but well maintained in my opinion, and so much to do! Walking deck 8 in the garden was beautiful, and you had many options of places to go and things to do. The service on ...
We went on our second cruise (first was with Carnival Cruises in 2018).Carnival was cheaper and everything included we thought we are paying way more so we will get much better, infact as per their name it would be Royal.
Here is what we experienced:
1)Everything we see or want to do is extra money.
2)Activities like surf boarding were free but for our turn of 2 minutes ride we waited 35 ...
We have cruised with different cruise lines over the last 15 years. Being a daughter of a Disney fanatic I had to try a Disney cruise for our grandkids.
Let’s start with the positives. Our favorite bar to visit was Soul Cat Lounge. Isasias the Lead bartender is excellent and all of the hosts that work with him are the nicest and most friendly people ever! They really made our trip happy even ...
