Los Angeles Cruise Reviews

First of all- this site is FULL of complainers. Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. 4.5 review for us. We loved our experience on this ship! We don’t expect 100% perfection. Here are our pros and cons: Pros- Beautiful clean new ship, spacious balcony room, comfy beds, OBSERVATION LOUNGE deck 15- with huge windows and drinks and snacks almost always available- and tons of seating- we ...

We chose this cruise as it's only a 50 minute flight to Long Beach. The ship was very clean and I'm not sure how Carnival does it, but their staff is amazing. We took our 7 year old grandson and had a deluxe ocean view with to bathrooms. There was enty of room for the 3 of us. It was 2 hort flights to the Vista dining room. We always take my time dining as we enjoy the flexibility. The Food ...

My third time sailing on the Discovery- I absolutely adore this ship and its crew is absolutely amazing. The crew remains above excellent- they remembered me from previous sailings and made me feel incredibly welcome and at home-and my stateroom- a premium ocean view- was beyond amazing! However, although my overall experience was amazing, there were a few items that detracted from my overall ...

We're frequent cruisers, who mainly sailed on Carnival years ago for the shorter, party itineraries. We have been mainly sailing on Celebrity since then but wanted to go on this specific itinerary and thought Carnival might be fun for our son. We didn't know what to expect and to my surprise, they nailed it, it was a surprisingly good cruise. The ship itself was beautiful, clean, and the staff was ...

Hello! We are in our 40s with a tween. We have cruised several times- 3 with Carnival, Royal, and Norweigan. Pros: The ship is beautiful! She is well maintained. Staff was fantastic. Room steward did an excellent job. She was always cheerful. Our waiter was fantastic. He was attentive. I loved the Italian restaurant and the pizza. All of the onboard activities was great. Slides, sky rider, and ...

The live music around the ship was really good. The ship was clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was so-so. I didn’t really care for the food available around the pool (which should probably be improved bc the service was very slow and just okay tasting). Didn’t love the Lido deck food, which all looked about the same to me. Would have loved a different section of gluten free ...

First, I apologize for this novel but I do like to provide thorough information for others to reference! I have sailed twice on Disney Cruise Line (2018-2019) and five times on Royal Caribbean (2022-2023). I’m a travel agent and looking to expand my offerings and the best way to do that is to keep sailing! I live on the west coast and Carnival has a noticeable presence here year round, so I found ...

This was our sixth Princess cruise and the third on Discovery. It was a great time and had many great aspects. Not all was perfect though. Embarkation: This was a chaotic embarkation. The arrival window was 1030-1400 for everyone so you can imagine most people show up at the beginning of that window. This overwhelmed the waiting area so the Platinum area was actually the area for anyone that ...

Just got back from a cruise (L.A. - 2 sea days - Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo, sea day, L.A.) on the Norwegian Bliss with wife and two teenaged daughters. It was all of our third cruise on Norwegian (we'd been to Alaska and another from New Orleans to Cozumel, Roatan, Harvest Caye, Costa Maya), so we had some level of expectation. We were in two balcony staterooms on deck 15, mid-port. ...

After sailing almost exclusively with Regent, we decided to try Viking for our next Ocean cruise. They offered an itinerary not available with Regent at an attractive price. It was a 16 day Los Angeles to Hawaii return. This long post maybe helpful for those who are considering switching or choosing between the two. We called this a personal perspective because it relates to our particular ...
