Caribbean - Bahamas Cruise Reviews

Extremely overcrowded, way too long of lines. We did not get to enjoy any of the amenities as the lines were way too long everywhere we went.

The Wish is a wonderful ship in so many ways. It has wonderful food, interesting venues, and an outstanding crew. It’s a shame the designers didn’t put more thought into making it accessible to everyone consistently.

This was my first one. Didn't know what to expect. It was fun.

This is a great short cruise. A quick break for reality. The beach time was perfect and the visit to Nassau was fun with typical shopping and food right at the port. NCL messed up some of the free items that were supposed to be included and it took time to get it sorted out when we boarded, something they need to work on. The rest of the cruise was perfect.

It was ok. Honestly nothing to brag about. A quick trip with my family. I wish the food would’ve been better. The entertainment was excellent.

The only issue I had in this cruise was the bathroom smelled so bad. I’m not sure what needs to be done but I don’t want anybody else to experience this.

I give everything good to very good marks however the elevator situation was unacceptable to us. We have 2 more Carnival cruises planned in the next few months. IF WE RUN INTO A SIMILAR ELEVATOR PROBLEM ON THESE NEXT 2 CRUISES WITH CARNIVAL WE WILL TRY ANOTHER CRUISE LINE.

My family had a magical time, we will never forget these memories.

I share with you my experience with Carnival Sunrise Cruise. From my experience, I can tell you the following: - Luggage arrived in a reasonable time. We left it outside the terminal with the porters. - Room attendant Pat was super friendly and helpful. She was always attentive to our needs, and the cleaning service never interrupted our daily activities. - The room was very hot, and even though the temperature was reported to be within the acceptable range, it was uncomfortable. We requested a check, and they offered us a fan. The fan worked quite well. - Gratuity is not included for children under 2 years old. You can choose to give the tip in cash or add it to your account. Additional tips can also be left in envelopes. - Buffet was crowded during boarding, which seems to be a common occurrence. - Long lines to enter and pick up children from the camp. At least one night, they didn't charge us extra time for picking up the kids due to the long wait, but I waited for more than 20 minutes. It only happened the first night of the cruise; afterward, it was much easier. - The service at the Sunrise Restaurant was not satisfactory, with waitstaff being described as generally unfriendly and inattentive. The main issue is in the kitchen, where dishes take a long time to come out. Inconsistency in the availability of white bread at the restaurant. Caesar salad, roasted tomato soup, and roasted duck rolls were described as very tasty but served cold. Desserts are almost nonexistent; the most you can find is ice cream, cheese, and about two desserts that change daily. If you like cheesecake, they offer it best in a café bar on the ship that requires payment. My favorite dinner dish is a cordon bleu they offered one of the nights. - Limited services for children under 2 years old. No baby changing tables in public bathrooms, which I find unreasonable considering the cost of a child is the same as an adult, so the services for them should be better. Requesting a crib for a baby is important, but only a regular crib was provided instead of a playyard. - Entertainment activities are varied, but in general, I think they could organize better group parties. There aren't many outside of those held at the pool. - If you go to the port of Miami, I recommend parking right there at the pier for $22 per day. - I really liked the arcade, the candy store, and there are some shops for items, but it's more for people who like jewelry. - The experience is not necessarily bad, but considering the cost, I believe they could offer better service, and that seems to have been lacking lately in this cruise line.

We expected a higher quality of service than Royal Caribbean but this cruise fell short. They didn’t have the attitude to go beyond to make you happy. Whiskey/Bourbon was out at Sky lounge instead of getting it from another bar they said we will restock tomorrow. How do you run out on Day1. The shoulder shrugging and oh well attitude was not pleasing at movie events, Garden Spa area, couldn’t get 1 additional water bottle for meds by room attendant though we have drink package and we suffered from dehydration.

It was a great experience for 1st timers like us. Service crews were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be looking forward to our next cruise in the future.

Overall it was a great experience, I'd expected something more allusive given that we embark on Christmas Eve

This was our best vacation ever! I would go on it again next week if I could. Overall the Freedom of the Seas was a very well-maintained ship with plenty to do for a single mom with 2 teenage boys (16 & 18). We felt safe at all times. Food/drinks, activities, and service were absolutely outstanding. Even on rainy days there were plenty of things to keep us occupied. Bring your family photo shoot clothes, there are many opportunities for beautiful, professional shots. Also bring magnetic hooks to increase storage in your stateroom (walls are metal). Would also recommend bringing both US and EU adapters if you have both, our US adapter was too large to plug into the US outlet but thankfully we were able to use the EU adapter/outlet. Also, bring extra cash for tips. The high-energy staff works long hours to keep everyone happy, they definitely earn it. This was one of the best vacations I've ever had!

Me and my girlfriend had a great time, it was her first cruise and my second. Staff was all super friendly and funny except for the lady’s on deck 11 handing out towels. Would ignore you and roll their eyes at you for trying to get their attention and ended up charging me $50 for towels. The food and entertainment was amazing, if it wasn’t for them girls this trip would’ve been 5 stars across the board.

I have been previous several cruses. Royal Caribbean is a low quality cruise that is obviously all about money.

Carnival Spirit is a fun ship and the crew are professional. There was a lot of entertainment and activities to do on the ship daily. The Burger, Pizza and Sandwich bar options were a nice change of pace to the single buffet onboard which routinely had the same food options as the main dining hall, Empire Lounge. It wasn't advertised, but there was midnight snacks in the buffet after midnight which we learned about on night 3...glad we found that out. If you are on the Spirit you should check out the shows in the Pharaohs Theater and don't miss one single night of Curtis Labelle in the Shanghai Piano Lounge...it was the highlight of all the ships entertainment and the most fun we've ever had on a cruise ship.

For the most part it was very enjoyable. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant.

Cruise was great. Booking did not go well. We booked with a certain code to get fees paid with price and they changed code on us and we had fees. Sad that they can get away with that. For this reason we are thinking of cruising elsewhere moving forward. Bummer, as we preferred carnival before this.

We understand this was a Christmas Cruise, there would be a lot of children. We didn't appreciate they let the children run all over the ship unsupervised.

The main dining room left a lot to be desired, but overall we would go again.
