Review summary

Where do i begin ...first we stood in line waiting to board from 10 am to 3pm without food or water. Then once aboard we finally got to our rooms only to be rocked back and forth for the remainder of the trip. Even our pictures moved back and forth. The food was awful it made us sick. We spent 4 nights of little sleep thanks to people next door having sex all night and shaking our bed all night. I will never go on another cruise ever again. PERIOD

They didn't this particular cruise. It's was sad. I got in quick because of priority, but people where there at 10:00 to board and they didn't start until 1pm. It was a mess!

True, I have had that happen before. Carnival will text or email you and tell you to report at a different time.

Yes. That is true. So don't arrive early. But original post what he is talking about was from the previous cruise.

They will make you wait outside, if you get to the terminal before your check-in time.

There were no bathrooms or water fountains outside the terminal. People were lined up and around sidewalk where porters get your bags. I felt sorry for them as I checked in at airport. Then realized lines were just as long inside. We waited about 2 hrs inside terminal. No biggie. 15 other cruise embarkation were good so 1 unpleasant one won't deter me from many more. Things happen people😜

I know for a fact they have water fountains in the terminal, as well as bathrooms,my daughter and grandson got water and went to the bathroom to use it, we brought snacks while we was in the terminal waiting to board the ship.

Sorry you didn't enjoy your trip. But I have to comment on the no food or water from 10 am to 3 pm. Who can't live without food for that long? Water maybe not, but you can bring your own stuff while waiting. You just have to get rid of it before boarding. Your lack of personal responsibility trickled over into your attitude for your entire cruise. What a shame.

I did feel the boat moving at times, especially in cabin. We had an aft balcony cabin. On the last night the wind was howling , we could hear through as we went through that storm. Didn't bother me a all.

I was on the same ship at the same time. Sorry for all the noise we made! But seriously the boat did not move all that much and the wood was great!

My wife and I have been a lot of cruises,once the ship had to put stabilizers out because of the rocking but even then it wasn't miserable,my wife and I and other people laughed because it looked like we were drunk it was funny,and this was our first cruise,but we had so much fun,the captain cannot control the weather,but rocking or not cruising is fun but not for everyone I guess, good food too.

The wait was because cruise prior was a Tom Joyner cruise and they had tons of equipment to get off the ship. Apparently it took longer than expected. Yes I felt bad for all those people waiting outside. They didn't start boarding until 1 pm. Glad I am Platinum!!

Was on the same cruise. Seas were great, weather was great, the ship had very little movement at all. Food was good and the staff was terrific. The Breeze is my new favorite ship. Maybe cruising just isn't for you?

Also, we invested in the motion sickness meds, just another suggestion.

I've had experiences on a few ship with extra loud neighbors. Unfortunately, the walls are a bit thinner than what is necessary.

I wouldn't give up on ALL cruises just because of one. That's like giving up on flying because of one bad ride. No

All you have to do is complain they would probably have to you to another room

Only time We felt the ship move was in the dining room and it wasn't much. Food from buffet was decent. Guys burgers were great. Blue Iguana burritos were good too. Food from the Tandoor was good also. Our room was quiet and we only heard workers in the hallway while working.

Sorry you didn't have a good time. Why the long wait at embarkation? Did you show up before your scheduled time?
