Review summary

CARNIVAL NEEDS TO UP THEIR GAME. ROYAL CARIBBEAN'S FOOD AND SHIP DESIGN ARE SO MUCH BETTER. MY MOM IS 66 YEARS AND A 1 YEAR BREAST CANCER SURVIOR. SHE DOESN'T DRINK ALCOHOL. I WANTED THE CHEERS PACKAGE BUT I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT BECAUSE CARNIVAL MANDATES EVERYONE IN THE ROOM GET THE CHEERS PACKAGE. ROYAL CARIBBEAN DOESN'T DO THIS, HOWEVER THEY WOULD LIKE EACH PERSON IN THE CABIN TO GET ANY TYPE OF PACKAGE, COKE, INTERNET, ETC. CARNIVAL SERVED THE SAME FOOD IN THE MAIN DINING ROOM FOR 3 STRAIGHT NIGHTS. THE CASINO WAS NICE AND THE PHOTOGRAPHY STATIONS AND PROPS WERE AWESOME. COOKIE THE CRUISE DIRECTOR IS SENSATIONAL.

Just got off the Harmony of the Seas. She is a Beautiful and Very Well Taken Care of Ship. But with that being said, Royal still lacks in the quality of their food, they close their restaurants early, couldn't even tell you who the CD was, close certain parts of the Solarium early, and even though they have 3 pools they are jammed.

My husband and I went in February on Liberty, it was very down hill from the time we sailed 2 years before. Our cruise was awful as well. We booked with RC to see if they have better standards.

Maybe not troll. I was on Liberty in February and me and my cousin didn’t like it. Other than Guys burger we weren’t pleased with the food. My grandson (4 years old) wasn’t thrilled with the kids club. Every ship not for everyone 🤷🏽‍♀️

Since you have no cruises listed, all this yelling is pointless. RC will welcome you with open arms. Prepare to be nickeled and dimed.

Carnival will accept a note from a doctor for a medical exempt status for purchasing drink pkg on a case by case basis that would have allowed you to purchase just one drink pkg. All you need to do is contact Carnival

First time cruiser

Not great

I wouldn't know I was 15 minutes late. I drove all the way from SC to be turned around with no refund. I'm pretty sure Coco Beach takes in lots of money from Carnival castaways! They also had the nerve to offer another trip if I had the money !
