We booked Rhapsody of the Seas for the itinerary. Read lots of reviews and heard the pros and cons about food and noise. We couldn't be happier with the experience. Food was great. Service was outstanding. Noise was minimal. We were in a Junior Suite 8564 and although the sofa bed needed to be updated - just older looking - the room was great. Lots of space, plenty of storage and close to ...
I had such a good experience the first time I traveled with Royal Caribbean, so this was a big disappointment. The ship was very outdated, there was not much to do and it was not very clean. It smelled of sulfur/sewage almost everywhere we went onboard. The staff did not seem to know how to help us and did not seem very interested in answering our questions. Everything seemed very disorganized. ...
We live 45 minutes from the Port of Tampa and sail from there almost exclusively now on the Paradise. We were thrilled that Carnival placed a 7-day cruise out of Tampa. We have been on 46 cruises and 33 on Carnival. This cruise was a bounce back offer from the Paradise casino on a cruise we took in Jan. 2018 and the price was deeply discounted. We also received OBC,This was our first time on the ...
We went on this ship to Hawaii and always knew we would want to spend another cruise onboard this beauty. Very different decor than some of the other Carnival Ships. Very easy to navigate due to the size. We stayed on deck 1, the promenade with guest services, casino and comedy club was on deck 2, deck 3 was the shops and photo gallery. We love this layout where everything is spead out on two ...
As a frequent cruiser with Royal Caribbean (Diamond) it pains me to write a negative review for my favorite cruise line. That said, it is a beautiful ship but this particular voyage seemed to be poorly managed.
Embarkation in Tampa was very smooth and quick. We drove ourselves to the port and parked in the cruise terminal garage - painless and straight forward. Cruise Terminal 3 was bright, ...
-This was our 15th cruise, me, my wife, and 11 years old.
-Room, 8544, floor to ceiling window was great, but that's where it ended!
-The room is off of the lobby, music every night to midnight and chairs being moved around the pool at 7:00 AM and then they piped music off the lobby could be heard, if you knew the song, you could hear the words.
-The ship rolled and shook for 7 straight ...
Stayed in Mini Suite on deck 11 aft 11676 kept up most night till midnight while they bowled or something on my ceiling even went up to yell at them and did't do any good. Had priority embarkation and disembarkation was a joke was not any better than regular. Disembarkation was horrible Tampa is a stickler for non american check in and they have no procedure for getting non citizens to check in on ...
We met alot of wonderful people and had the most amazing time of our lives. It was our first cruise with Norwegian, but will most certainly not be our last. We stopped in Cozumel, Costa Maya and Honduras, Belize was on our stop list as well and even though foul weather stopped us from disembarking in this port the people onboard the Norwegian dawn made our time at sea fun and enjoyable. The ...
This was our first cruise on NCL. The live entertainment (deal or no deal, the "cirque-like" performance, the comedian, the big-band musicians who did a trivia game) was better here than on that "other cruise line" although some of the singer performances were not very appealing and we left those early. The flexible dining options were really nice... we could eat free in multiple places without ...
Chose this cruise because it left Tampa and went to Belize and Key West, 2 sites we were very interested in. This was my 5th RC cruise and not what I expected; it was a big disappointment. I have sailed on Grandeur and liked the size, but the Rhapsoday is not like her sister. Our food and service was lacking; food was so bad we (party of 4) sent meals back to kitchen, food was not hot and ...
