Save your money - carnival was horrible by crothers8

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

Save your money and don’t go on Carnival Horizon. Food was horrible. Drink packages are not worth it and elevators were not working 1/2 the time. Very disappointing

Average by rathorty

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Caribbean Princess

We booked this cruise and paid more than other cruises because it went to Grand Turks only for Princess to cancel this port of call. To say we were disappointed is an understatement.

Disappointing by TracyLynnCap

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

Disappointing vacation, overall experience was less that satisfactory. Thank goodness we booked all day excursions to get us off the ship for two of the days. The excursions were the best part of this vacation.

Disappointed by chersota

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

Would not travel with celebrity again. Or at least not one of their older ships.

To be honest, a bit boring by NomadicDawg

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Jade

Three words: comfortable, calm and a bit boring. The ship is what it is, smaller with less entertainment options, decent staff and okay food. Would be good for someone looking to just relax.

Great itinerary; not so great service by jwlazar

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Jade

While it's understandable that an older ship won't provide as much activities or accommodations as the newer modern mega-ships, it's somewhat disappointing that in this day an age there isn't a better system for allowing pro-active travelers to reserve excursions, specialty dining and, more importantly, kids club capacity through a mobile app instead of having to spend hours waiting in line. Also, it was painfully clear throughout the experience that NCL is still stretching too few crew/staff to cover too many passengers, which we saw firsthand at a couple bars and specialty dining restaurants. Other cruise lines seemed to have bounced back much sooner and adjusted accordingly.

Amazing cruise by bean21sb

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

We sailed during spring break, the ship was fully booked and had 2200 kids on board. Because of the layout of the ship, it didn't seem to be that crowded.

Masterful Cruise on a Gorgeous Ship with Impeccable Service! by DerekLord

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Wonder of the Seas

Wonder of the Seas! What a beautiful ship! Until January 2024, this ship used the be the largest cruise ship in the world and you can certainly feel it while on this ship. It was magnificent and I enjoyed every second of it. So many activities, so many shows, so much food...I was in heaven for an entire week celebrating my birthday! I have zero complaints. I must give a special shoutout to Made in the main dining hall. He was exceptional. Same goes for Kutut in the main daining hall. These two made an excellent team. And Garcia in entertainment was magnificent! I'm so grateful and I can't wait to book my next family cruise!

Wonderful Experience by amywitt

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Breakaway

Overall, my family had a great time on the Breakaway! This was our first experience on a cruise ship and we did not know what to expect nor did we have anything to compare it to. The ship was clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. The food and drink selection was wonderful with a variety of options. It was a bit windy some of the days so we missed out on some of the outdoor activities but plenty of other things to do on the ship. We went during Spring Break so there were a lot of kids (to include my own) to compete with but that is to be expected when you travel during times like that. We had a great time

Ports were great! Norwegian Jade no so much... by thomasbbarnette

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

The ports of call were great! Disappointed with the ship after hearing such great things about NCL. There is a lot of room for improvement on this ship in all areas if they want to make a cruise on this ship truly unforgettable.

Great honeymoon experience by Ambur81

Ship: Nieuw Amsterdam

This was my first cruise and my husband's third, and both of our first time on Holland America. We really enjoyed our time onboard and would sail with HAL again in the future.

Disappointed by nlongueville05

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Escape

I would say that NCL is losing their touch! The workers look tired and not happy! I hate the fact that NCL did no reimbursement for their wrong doing. I had to unclog my own bathroom sink after waiting for 2 days to get it done. No reimbursement for not porting or my dinner fiasco and paying for an upgrade room but got a worst one than what I had originally! I think I will have to jump ship to Royal!

First experience and was not dissapointed! by ldmojica

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

Amazing! Plan ahead! Eat the food (but not too much!) Take time to spend time and connect with family if you brought them! Enjoy life on the ship, but prepare yourself when you leave the ship so you can adjust to real life again. :)

Nice ship, quality of food and service could improve. by JStros

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Jubilee

Was a nice ship, but due to the lack of attentiveness by the staff we will likely not sail with carnival again.
