Caribbean - Southern Cruise Reviews

It was a wonderful cruise. I will travel again Celebrity/Beyond.

Celebrity is truly a Class A+ cruise line! We have cruised on many other cruise lines and Celebrity outshines all of them. The ship, the food, the crew, the entertainment, the itinerary, ALL FANTASTIC!

I have done many cruises and I can easily say this trip has been one of the best with no issues whatsoever. My family and I had an amazing time. Staff on the ship are very attentive and want you to have a great time. Entertainment was wonderful. Being able to grab a slice of freshly made pizza at midnight was cool. Definitely recommend it.

A very relaxing cruise with four sea days, which is really amazing. Generous port time and a nice ship.

Awesome cruise experience! Definitely recommend sailing on Celebrity Beyond ~ it is truly a fun adventure.

Overall a great cruise experience if you are looking to go with your SO. Highly recommend.

This was our first cruise. We had so much fun and can't wait to cruise again. For the most part it was perfection

Near the expected time of departure an announcement was made that one propeller on the ship was not working and we would not travel to our destinations. Instead of islands off the coast of south America we went to the Bahamas, just a swim away from south Florida. Carnival announced that we could disembark and get a future cruise credit or stay on board and get a $400 credit on the room. Disembarking was impractical and the on board credit is not nearly the cost difference between cruising the Bahamas versus Aruba. What Carnival should have done was warn travelers of the potential change in plans before they ever left their home cities to come to the port. Carnival knew the ship couldn't sail and said nothing.

Overall all a very wonderful experience. Drink service was inconsistent between service areas, some ploces would let you get a water with your drink, others would not.

The overall cruise was great. It was very disappointing that we couldn't go to the ports that we played for. We could have done the ports that we went to for a lot less money.

It was an amazing relaxing cruise with my family. Everything was perfect.

For the premium we paid over a Bahamas cruise, Carnival did not provide adequate compensation when they knew of the issues with the ship. $400 on board credit per cabin (not per person) and a 25% future cruise credit was not equal to the difference in cost from southern Caribbean and a Bahamas cruise. We made the best of it and had fun but it was not ideal. Yes, Carnival has every right to modify our itinerary but this issue was known the evening before embarkation and they failed to relay the info onto the upcoming cruise passengers until 2:30p when we were already unpacked and on board. Yes, they offered refunds/credits if you left but it was not feasible for most people to leave.

Food and service was exceptional. A huge step up from recent post Covid sailings

Our cabin was above the Hot Tubs so it was very hard to enjoy our Balcony . Vulgar language, Loud and Obnoxious behavior We will not cruise Carnival again to say the least.

Overall it was an excellent experience to get away from the every day routine but would have liked a more affordable Internet service for those with a tight budget.

We flew from ATL to SJU and sailed on Rhapsody of the Seas, on August 4, 2024. We selected this cruise because it included two destinations we've not visited before - Bonaire and Curacao. Rhapsody is a bit older but elegant and graceful at sea. We loved Rhapsody for her crew, her size, and her itinerary. Rhapsody's deck plan is smart and getting around is easy. Beautiful bars and lounges and the food is terrific. Sailing out of San Juan is so much nicer and easier than any of the US ports we've sailed from. We are already planning our next trip, but this cruise was one of the best Caribbean cruises we've ever taken.

Overall, very good cruise with excellent staff on the ship.

Overall a nice cruise with great ports. I did pick up a cold which made the trip uncomfortable for our group, but this was a nice itinerary. I am not personally a fan of so many days at sea, but otheres enjoyed that. The biggest issues were the Carnival Hub Chat was down for the first too days, making finding your family extremely difficult. It was working by end of day two. The AC was non existent on the packed elevators as well as some common areas on various decks. We felt food was OK overall, but service personnel was reduced since our last time on this ship a year ago. Still a nice oversall experience.

Wonderful experience. All the passengers and crew we came across never had a bad experience. Plenty to do on board at any hour almost.

Couldn’t have ask for a better experience for our first cruise
