Tampa Romantic Cruises Reviews

I was disappointed in the overall way that things have changed, not for the better, since my last cruise on Brilliance. Several things stood out and these are why I gave several lower grades. The food was not what I expected, especially in the Minstrel Dining Room. Portions of vegetables were very small in most cases (one piece of broccoli?). Cuts of meat were thin and tough. In general at the ...

So this is my first cruise. Overall it isnt horrible. However, if you want a peaceful cruise this is not it. Unbelievably crowded and people saving lounge chairs for hours. Good luck finding a spot to sit and relax. Also, parents think since they are on a cruise most aren't watching their kids and letting them do whatever. Honestly with the amount of unattended kids and Crowdedness has made this ...

Have always wanted to go to Belize and this cruise included Belize. On board, the buffet left a bit to be desired and staff members could have been more helpful do to my handicap. Restaurant food was excellent and staff was very nice,, kind and friendly. Casino left a bit to be desired as far as being handicap friendly and staff left a lot to be desired especially in my opinion being a female ...

Embarkation was the best I've ever experienced - we walked right on. Debarkation was the worst I've ever experienced - it was a nightmare. People waited hours past their assigned times, many in line. Line was from one end of the ship to the other and never seemed to move. We were a group of approx 30 coming from Winter Haven - it was nearby and very reasonable. First complaint, we were ...

We just returned from a 10 night southern Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Constellation out of Tampa. The following is a detailed chronology of the issues we encountered on our cruise. Day 1: We understood that there were issues on the previous cruise which caused a delay due to extra sanitation measures. Once on board none of the staff on board has given us a correct answer. Asked for ...

This is nearly an 8,000 word log/review. If you just want the summary, scroll down to the bottom! Celebrity Constellation 3-17-23 Friday, March 17 – St Patrick’s day & embarkation at Port of Tampa: The day before embarkation we received ‘urgent messages’ that embarkation would be delayed until 12:00 due to Norovirus on the prior cruise. So, our 11:00 assigned time became 12:00. Not ...

Friends invited us to join their group for our 1st cruise experience. We picked a waterview room, a couple specialty dinners and unlimited beverages package. Picked our boarding time and showed up an hour earlier, perhaps a mistake. The line outside terminal was long, we waited over two hours to get into terminal. Come to find out that someone missing from the disembarking group was found dead ...

We chose this cruise because we haven't been to the Western Caribbean in several years, and the Dawn was our very first NCL ship that we sailed on. For these reasons, we thought it would be a great getaway. We used NCL flights and hotel so we arrived the day before. It was a rocky start to our cruise due to the problems at the port with the previous cruise unable to disembark due to a ...

Very disappointed in the overall NCL experience. Our ship was older and small, but that was the least of its problems. Food was awful and service was sparse. Long lines for drinks and food at the specialty restaurants was substandard with the exception of Cagney’s steakhouse. I was disappointed in all of the extra hidden fees on the ship and the Wi-Fi service that we paid hundreds of dollars ...

This will all come out in my blog review, but I wanted to share my experience on the Norwegian Dawn (March 12-19 of 2023), here first. The embarkation and Debarkation was a cluster of epic proportions and the "choose your board time" was nonexistent. I loved all the ports this ship took us too, one even offering a passport stamp for a donation. When we sail, we want good food, good entertainment ...
