Caribbean - Southern Cruise Reviews

Disappointed key features that made me decide to pay extra to book this particular ship didn't work (Rollercoaster, waterslide). Ship was nice but compact. Food was inconsistent. Enjoyed the various destinations.

We loved it! This was our first cruise on Royal Caribbean and we will be back. Hoping to do the Icon next.

Cruise was good, although smaller than expected, in comparison with my prior experience. Also I felt the cruise moving every day. I took medicine for the dizziness every day.

Definitely recommend the Beyond. It is a most beautiful ship with a great staff.

we had an amazing time, very satisfying trip. Great entertainment, food and relaxing

Carnival was a carnival. Covid rampant. Loved cove balcony.

Everyone was sick. Multiple people Said they now have vivid including my group. Horrible experience. Customers are out if control and security and staff looked awat to avoid confrontation. Extremely disappointed. Will never cruise carnival again.

We enjoyed our cruise. We do like the Celebration but it was very crowded this time with big family reunions.

The onboard staff were all friendly and helpful. My fave bar was World Class. The Magic Carpet is a must-try, lots of comfy seating areas with a great view. There are no words to describe EDEN, you have to experience it.

Nice cruise. Really good food. Overcrowded on sea days. It was nearly impossible to get chairs around the pool decks because the ship was very crowded. It was more crowded than we expected for Celebrity. The food was quite good everywhere and the premium restaurants were very good. The house entertainment was okay overall, but only the professional celebrities were really good. The TV channel selection in the rooms was very limited (news or sports), which was frustrating at night. The logistics of embarkation, muster and debarkation all went very smoothly and professionally. We had a very negative incident where the rooftop garden restaurant ignored our son's egg allergy and served him a s'mores desert that had eggs in it. we had very clearly told them before the meal that he was allergic to eggs (they had actually asked). he got very sick to his stomach. the staff was apologetic once they realized what they had done, but no one offered us anything to compensate. in retrospect, we should've complained more at the time and demanded that at least his meal charge be removed. it was a serious oversight on your part that could've been very dangerous if his allergy was more severe.

If i were to go for a cruise again, next year, i would like celebrity cruise again, it doesn’t look public but felt the privacy and not too crowded, i will be planning to cruise in europe and looking forward to cruise with celebrity again.

I would suggest choosing another ship as the Vista needs to be retired. There is to much wrong with it. The 2 pools are very small.

I expected better and more from Carnival Vista. I got spoiled by Holland America. I didn't expect all of the rude kids and people! The dirty dishes left all over the place. The Staff seemed run down. The bars were great and the ports were amazing except Aruba.

As previously stated I would give RCCL a C overall. With that said, being a Diamond Plus member, I have two more cruises booked on Royal which I can't get out of. I'm hoping this cruise was the exception since I can only tare it as average. From the customer service to exceptionally poor internet it was disappointing. Absolutely have to do more comparisons with Celebrity and Princess.

Aruba was a wonderful port of call and the Horizon is a nice ship. The activities and entertainment were good. The big negative was our dining room experience. Pig and Anchor had great BBQ and the service was much better there than inside the dining room.

There were 27 of us celebrating 4 high school graduates that are cousins. While it was many in the party's first cruise, many of us are veteran cruisers as well. Of course, on a Carnival ship, you look for Guy's burgers. The remainder of the food options were mediocre, unless you paid extra. We paid extra for the hibachi experience and that food was great. Most of the time, the food was lukewarm. We had "My Time Dining" and while I loved being able to use the app to check in to dinner, once seated the wait times to place your order were sometimes long. All the staff on the ship was great, fun, welcoming and friendly. There were many places where water was literally dripping from the ceilings. For example, near my cabin on the 7th deck, water randomly dripped on my face. Also, the Carnival Hub app was completely unreliable. On the port day in Curacao, we missed our family because the app would not connect at all. Many in our party said they had to keep reconnecting to the app. Lastly, as far as entertainment, often times the good things were booked at the same time as dinner, which I've never experienced before. Also, the Liquid Lounge (stage) was not big enough to accommodate the people that wanted to attend events. There was lack of enforcement for the curfew, as teens were out at all hours of the night, all over the ship. I saw reports of teens wreaking havoc by playing ding dong ditch on several decks. I will never travel on the Horizon again, and maybe not Carnival at all. The kids (graduates) had fun which I suppose is all that matters.

We loved our ultra spacious room. It was as big as a 2-bedroom apartment with great views. The activities on the ship were expansive: ice skating, rock climbing, racing on dual side-by-side waterslides, miniature golf, boogie boarding on the flowrider, dance lessons from professional dancers, archery lessons, colorful parades, awesome dance and ice-skating shows. They even had a live band and did a veteran's celebration. It was a wonderful experience! The islands we visited were fantastic. There were lots of activities to choose from to keep you busy!

It was a wonderful trip with family and friends. Beautiful islands

We enjoyed our stay and our friends had a great time too

The Carnival Celebration ship is huge and fun! I high recommend this ship for all ages.
