Tampa Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

We were on the Celebrity Constellation for the 9 night New Orleans and Western Caribbean cruise. We chose Aqua Class because we wanted access to the Blu Restaurant. We are 70+ with some mobility issues so we took portable rollators and didn't leave the ship at ports. We had been to all the ports several times and, because it's difficult for us to get on and off the ship, we chose to use it as ...

This was our fourth cruise with Celebrity in the past year. We knew before leaving that the Constellation had not been Revolutionized but still had high hopes. The ship is in good shape in almost all areas. The solarium pool area has many rust spots around the pool and overhead and broken windows overhead. The aft windows in San Marco dining room were horrendous. They looked like they had not ...

Overall it was a pleasant cruise. I would go on Constellation again. It is not a huge ship, which for us is a plus. We are happy to give up some of the things that a huge ship has, like more extra cost dining locations and extra bars for a cozier environment. The biggest problem was that the cabin steward locked my wife on the veranda while he was cleaning the cabin. Luckily, she had a ...

1. The ship overall was fine. It needs refurbishment and it is going on dry dock for a couple of weeks in Italy in February. They know it needs attention. Our suite in particular was not worth the extra money except for the larger balcony. The vents in the bathroom were full of fuzz, the furniture was somewhat damaged, in general not a positive experience and particularly not worth the ...

Took the 10 day Caribbean cruise leaving Tampa on April 7, 2023. Pros: Embarkation port of Tampa - a 1 1/2 hour drive from our home. Smaller ship, easier to navigate for one of us with mobility issues. Pleasant staff throughout. Clean concierge balcony stateroom that seemed updated in some respects (not others), unlike some previous reviews - no torn curtains or shower curtains. Bathroom ...

We have cruised with several lines before, and we typically take 2-3 cruises each year. This was our first time cruising with Norwegian Cruise Lines. Here are some thoughts from my first (and maybe last) experience with them: PROS: - Embarkation: I still cannot believe how fast this went! We have never gone on the ship so fast. It was our first time at the port of Tampa, and before we ...

We chose this cruise for the destinations, previous experience with Celebrity, the embarkation port. This was our fourth cruise with Celebrity and we have two more that were booked before this cruise. We were disappointed with Celebrity but the Tampa Port was very efficient for us and the key destinations were as good or better than expected. Celebrity staff continue to provide a great cruise ...

I wanted to go on a post-Covid cruise and Norwegian seemed to offer the most value for your money with their Free at Sea option. I went with 10 other people - family and friends. Five people in the group either smoked or vaped. We all had balcony staterooms. The drinks were plentiful but weak. During the day, any organized activities onboard cost money. I went to Bingo and spent $30 to play. ...

We selected this cruise as it left from Tampa, Florida, near our home. We were traveling with four other Floridians. None of us had experience with the Norwegian Cruiseline before this trip. We all had been on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess and Carnival. It appeared Norwegian gave a nice selection of specialty restaurants. We selected the balcony cabin (used to be called ...
