Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Carnival is the cheaper option and you get what you pay for. I was not expecting the lack of kid's entertainment. Yes, they have Camp Ocean but we didn't go on a family vacation to shove our kids in a day care. We wanted to do things together and the lack of that really bothered us. Outside of that, everything else was amazing. The staff was top notch as always. The food was very good, maybe a step down from years past. But overall, we are still very pleased with what we got for what we paid and would still highly recommend cruising to anyone and everyone, kids or no.

With nearly 30 cruises total, this was our first on Celebrity. Smaller ship but not crowded, that means fewer activity options and shows (by contrast, we were on a RC Oasis-class ship two weeks prior; way too crowded but many activities & show options). Older crowd and fewer children so much calmer than family-oriented ships. We enjoyed and would cruise again. Tuscan Grille not worth the extra cost; MDR featured good food and great service.

Enjoyable cruise: great and high quality of food and drink, exceptional service on board. Embarkation and disembarkation need to be improved......

The cruise itself was a lot of fun. However, the weather was a bit chilly. I will sail out of NOLA again!

So relaxing and entertaining. We loved everything. We are so ready to book our 2nd one.

Dinner severs did a phenomenal job: Waiter Elves, assistant waiter Fnu, sommelier Poorna, and Rana are absolutely great!

Average cruise. We just went on this cruise because it was cheap. Went to just relax.

The cruise experience was as wonderful as I remembered from 2018, my last cruise. I have gone to many parts of the world on Celebrity and never been disappointed.

The cruise was wonderful, there wasn’t a lot to do aboard except drink and eat but if you’re going for that it was wonderful. Trivia was fun, comic was great, drinks were amazing, girl singing above the promenade was the absolute worst and hurt mine & others heads, but a fantastic cruise. Way too much smoking on board but that’s just me

Overall the cruise was great and any hiccups we encountered were handled or fixed. The food was nice, trivia and game shows were fun, and it was nice to not have to worry about anything from "the real world" for a brief time.

We enjoy being back cruising. Every time is relaxing experience. The only issue we had was the new menu selections and the lack of available companion restrooms

Mariner is a wonderful, intimate ship. The staff is so attentive and helpful. We will definitely travel on the Mariner again.

I’m glad I only paid $350 for the entire cruise, anymore and I would be very upset.

Overall, very nice. Had a ton of relaxation time!!

Wonderful, great staff was very attenuative, friendly and personable.

Absolutely amazing over experience set up by the amazing BJ travel agent!

I have been on many carnival cruises, never as disappointing and boring as this one. Dress code not enforced, nothing to do on sea days, when the band played no room to dance in a lobby

This was our 3rd voyage on the Meraviglia in the past 13 months. It continues to be one of our favorite ships. I have to mention Ryan from St. Lucia working in the Horizon Bar. We have seen him on all of our voyages and he is the best of the bar staff. Not only is he very engaging to talk to but he can serve 3 passengers in the time it takes anyone else to serve one. He shows a great knowledge of how the logistics and stocking of the bar must be done. Andres from the Dominican Republic was also one of our favorites. As a whole the Horizon Bar staff was much more friendly and efficient than any other bar on the ship. My only complaint would be doing crew shows in the Promenade on deck 6 immediately after the Broadway show ends when most everyone is trying to get to the aft dining rooms.

All in all it was a nice cruise and we had a good time.

Embarkation and the first port day were chaotic and confusing that I was starting to think cruising wasn't going to be for me. The trick is to plan less and jus go with the flow. Yeah you might miss out on most of the shows, but at least you're not stressed about it.
