Norm Hicks Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Carnival legend is a ship that we will never sail again. If I had of only known it had a failed bottle break I would not be sitting in its buffet right now. Would have never got abord. Most of the crew is not typical to cruising. For the most part they could care less about the passengers. We've haven't interacted all crew. But of what we have I would say 75% of them were on the edge of being rude. First issue was lost Internet during a deal or no deal game. People that won't prizes before the issue were told sorry. Nothing we can do when we were told no worries it's all backed up. Then had engine trouble plus propulsion trouble. People saw soot and oil coming out of engine area deck 10. Then we're never told we were headed to port Canaveral for a medical. Then last night us passengers that were up on deck 9 had the sh*t scared out of us. I sobered up so quick! The lightning and wind wre unbelievable. Then we started lisping and our drinks went everywhere and the water in the pool wasn't splashing out. It was gushing out like a waterfall. Bar crew was a little worried also from the looks on their faces and them telling us to hang on. After it was over they were back to protocol and saying oh everything was fine! So what else is gonna happen before we get off? I am not happy with carnival as I feel they are only harping on the medical emergency so they can be blamed. They better step up to the plate with better offers other the piddly crap that they're offering us as of now. Just in case anyone is wondering. We've been cruising for 10 years. Many of cruises with 3 different lines. This trip has been the worst! I hope this gets reposted everywhere! Thanks for reading.

FJB Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Looks like you just entered the bay. Another 8 hours and you should be in Baltimore - only about 20 hours late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendall James-Vargas Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 @FJB Thanks for your response here. It was an unfortunate delay but as you said, it wasn't too bad. @Norm Hicks That sounded like a traumatic experience! Bad weather is no joke. I can't imagine how crazy it must have felt like to be onboard this sailing! CCL usually does it right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Hey I do understand your frustration ! this is no vacation at all ! But to be honest choosing any Carnival ship is not a good idea theses days. If they can cut the chicken breast in two in the buffet can you imagine what they can do with technical maintenance ! Since COVID I think they are cutting every thing in two to make more money !! cruise wisely, choose your cruise line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Sisters Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) @american You make a great point! Although CCL is usually really good about sticking to its promises, other cruise lines may be better at holding up their end of the bargain. This entire circumstance that @Norm Hicks is referring to seems to be mostly wether related and CCL did offer a bit of compensation for what unfolded. I believe the Captain and crew could have done better here, but at least everyone stayed safe through it all. It sounded very nerve wracking and I think I would have been left traumatized too. I don't blame you for how you felt. It's pretty rare that those things happen in unison during any itinerary.
