Caribbean - Bahamas Cruise Reviews

If you get a great deal, this is OK. Don't choose this one if you have a better cruise line at the same price, however. The ship is OK, the food is OK, and the service is extremely poor.

It was so pleasant, we enjoyed a lot and feel so welcome

MSC Divina was nice - staff and cleanliness was wonderful. Food was okay, definitely could have been better. Great for adults, not so much for kiddos. Our balcony room was awesome and the shows were great. Overall I would rate it a 7 out of 10.

Overall it was nice to get away and spend time with my husband

My first time cruising and I'm so happy I did it with Carnival. Everything was absolutely amazing. I'm thinking about cruising again with Carnival. Also meet some wonderful people on board,

Overall, it was an okay experience.. not terrible but also not great. We are a family of 3 with a young child who lives in Jacksonville and so we booked this cruise for the ease of travel with a toddler and because we had heard Carnival was family friendly. The trip started off with a 3-hour delay of the ship getting into port, so we were 3-hrs delayed boarding and then because of that they had to swap our Day-at-Sea with the day in Freeport. This was an inconvenience for those who had booked day passes at resorts or shore excursions. In addition, the day at sea was a warm sunny day and our planned beach day in Freeport wound up being windy, chilly and stormy. Each person on board was credited $25 for the inconvenience which was nice, but fell short. We had a grand suite with balcony and the room was perfect for our family who needed some extra space. Our room attendant Lloyd was incredible and so friendly - he always went out of his way to say hello and make sure that we were doing okay. The food on board was okay - the best part were the hamburgers honestly. We found the menu in the dining room to be really exciting, but then the flavor of the dishes and presentation underwhelming. It's Carnival so we didn't really expect a mind blowing dining experience. Our server Micah was very nice and service in the dining room was very attentive. We had fun doing some of the activities like Bingo. I did gamble a little in the casino but it smelled so horribly of smoke from all of the cigarettes that I couldn't stay there for very long In terms of the ports, we probably would not do another Bahamas cruise. We didn't feel super safe in Nassau and felt like we were being taken advantage of by some of the locals. In terms of actual sailing, it was very smooth in the Bahamas, but the trip there and back especially was very rocky and we had to take Dramamine for a good portion of the ride. Overall, it was an mediocre experience but if we ever do another cruise again we'll take the drive to Port Canaveral where there are more options and try a different cruise line that is a little more refined. This one was a little too rowdy and had a younger party demographic.

This was our first cruise and to be honest, it was a very great experience. I would definitely recommend Allure of the Seas to my friends and family members. Great food and easy to get around the ship. Their customer service was over the top and very friendly. We will be going on another cruise through Royal Caribbean for sure.

This is a great cruise to give you a taste of an Oasis style ship. Lots to do with many options for dining, bars, and shows.

I read not so great reviews before our trip. We decided that we make our own experience and usually enjoy our adventures. It was great with the exception of food and availability of onboard activities. We may try MSC again but probably not the Magnifica. It's a shame since it's such a beautiful ship. I would rethink menus and entertainment. The things we wanted to see were always scheduled at the same time....dinner, show and lounge activities.

This was my first cruise and i won't take another one; not really my style of travel.

Don't go in the Winter. It is too cold to lounge on decks and there is nothing but trivia and shopping for entertainment. The ship itself is great, but food is poor. This was our first cruise and last. Instead of planning our next cruise, we are planning our land trip to St Croix.

before sailing look into matching points from other vendors hotels and airlines as well as cruises

Overall relaxing cruise. Just what I wanted. Had to miss Half Moon Cay becasue of weather but that was ok - another relaxing day at sea. Food was ok. Ship and cabin are old but clean. Service was good. Entertainment good.

Overall, very enjoyable. Staff all nice and friendly.

I don't plan on taking this cruise line again. It was one issue after another.

This was our second cruise with MSC. We had a terrible experience (and totally different from the first time). It seemed a totally different company. Crew was not trained to serve customers. They seemed very unhappy and were not courteous at all with us, especially the servers from buffet to bars and specially at the restaurant. Overall crew seemed very unhappy, and they were always rude when asked questions.

We read so many reviews about the ship negative and positive so we went with an open mind, and it ended up being very positive.

Our waiters and room cleaning staff were so wonderful, we could not have asked for any better

This is a great getaway and I would do it again but I would only book a Yacht Club room because of all the extras that make traveling easier.

Relaxing, fun & memorable Towel folding activity = fun
