Good Points

They are cheaper then the others in their industry, but you get what you pay for.


Bad Points

My boyfriend and I just got back from a 7 day cruise on the Carnival Triumph, The Eastern Carribean Cruise. It was the worst experience of my life. I spent a lot of money to travel from California to Miami to go on my one vacation of the year and it was all ruined by Carnival. It was my boyfriends birthday and he was completely let down as well. They cancelled the Bahamas port visit, and didn't tell anyone until we were already on the ship and moving, which was so horrible. They said it was the weather, but they still kept us on the boat the whole time. We had 5 days at sea and only were able to get off the ship two times. The service was the worst I have ever experienced. The people were rude and grumpy. Everything fun to do cost money, and the free activities were repeated, exactly the same. They were soo boring, I would rather of sat in my stateroom, which was dirty, and I had holes in my sheets. They play the movies over and over again instead of having new ones daily, like advertised. The food, oh my, where do I start, the food was just plain disgusting.


General Comments

When they told us they were cancelling the Grand Turk port. They offered us $20.00 a person, just like they did with the Bahamas port. Can you believe that, from a $2000.00 dollar cruise, I saw 2 places, and got $40.00 bucks back. All my excursion were cancelled, and it took days to receive my refund. Which still has not posted to my bank account. I won money in the casino, which was great, but no where near compensated for the time, money, efforts, and everything else I put into trying to make this a nice cruise for my boyfriends birthday. I would have been happier staying home. I felt totally freaked out by all the characters they had as well, they would pretty much force you to take pictures with these creepy looking things. So annoying. Someone trying to sell you something everywhere you looked. The sushi was the worst, totally fishy, and pretty much I had the worst vacation of my life. I have cruised Royal Carribean before, and it was a wonderful experience, in fact it was also in hurricane season, Septemeber, and it was an amazing time. The ship was cleaner, the food was soooo wonderful, the service/people working on the boat was wonderful, the activities were amazing ;) If you want to cruise, take Royal Caribbean ;)
