Wonderful Family Cruise by Cruiser13788310

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Symphony of the Seas

We loved Symphony of the Seas! So many activities to keep my kiddos busy! We enjoyed having various dining options with an unpredictable toddler. We enjoyed the main dining room 3 nights and the wait staff was great! We frequented Johnny Rockets for breakfast and their staff provided excellent service. The pools were crowded, but that was to be expected on a Spring Break cruise. The opener for the comedy show was hilarious. My children enjoyed Adventure Ocean and my husband and I were able to enjoy a few date nights together. Overall we LOVED this vacation and are ready to plan our next cruise!

OK cruise, the ship was not in very good shape. It need an update. We were in the Retreat on deck 12 in the back of the ship and did not like the lounge on deck 5 Luminae, on deck 3, the sun deck on 15 in the front of the ship. by droodman

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Equinox

We have been on many ships. We stay in the equivalent cabin like the Haven on NCL. They have always exceeded our expectations. Not so on in the Retreat on Equinox. We were disappointed with Luminae. Very small menu, we ordered most of our meal of the Main Dining Room menu. Luminae was closed for lunch on port days but we were on the ship for lunch.

Our family's first cruise and definitely won't be our last!!! by 7712heaven

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Vista

Our family had never been on a cruise before and we were concerned about motion sickness and rumors that we had heard. Not one of us five got sick or had any reaction even when the Atlantic Sea was rough! Because of how great the staff were, how beautiful the scenery was, and how awesome the accommodations were on the Carnival Vista, our family agrees we need to cruise again!! We had such an amazing experience with Carnival, we will definitely cruise with them again!!! Words cannot express the great family vacation we had! THANK YOU CARNIVAL VISTA!!!!!

Poor service, staff not attentive, crowded, not enough spaces for people to go, app didn’t always work, staff not efficient, by watkinsdma

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Vista

Crowded, not enough common spaces to accommodate people. Staff not attentive to passengers, seemed inefficient, especially at deli, long lines to get good, long wait to get food in fine dining, orders not always correct, didn’t seem to bother staff, didn’t participate in any activities-large crowds, need new and different activities, always trying to sell something in many of them, always long lines for customer service issues, big clue

Spring Break Cruise by tara6579

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Vista

This was a great cruise and some of the best ports. Had food options been better I would have been happier, but always enough options that I was never hungry.

We would love to sail on the Viva again! by JenMiles

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Viva

All in all a great experience. There are certainly some things that could have been better (most centered around better attention to detail from the staff), but we will sail with Norwegian again and hopefully on the Viva, but maybe out of a different port.

Won't cruise Carnival ever again by jhale95

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Horizon

Food was marginal at best. Wait staff unfriendly. Debarkation was a disaster. Missed our flights and had to take another day off work to get home at our own expense. Staff kicked us out of game room/library to do an art auction while playing games with family. Took 2 hours to get our food in the dining room. No more Coke products on board. Carnival has gone downhill. Will never sail with them again.

Relaxing Caribbean Cruise by kawalkerrn

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Constellation

Celebrity always is very organized and keeps you well informed of activities, where to be, what time. Getting to tour buses is well organized and they greet you upon your return from ports with cups of water and cold towels. Embarking and disembarking is also well organized and runs smoothly, easy to find luggage. (All great, except for the need to clear customs).
