Reviews: Carnival Conquest

Guest user2019-10-08

We were very satisfied with our family's Caribbean East Coast cruise on the Carnival Conquest, which we booked through Ctrip. Since not many Chinese people travel this route, our review may be more relevant. Carnival Corporation is the world's largest cruise company, owning many famous brands, including Costa Rica. Having operated cruise ships for many years, Carnival's service is consistently high-standard and thorough. It's highly recommended to download the Carnival mobile app beforehand; it's very useful. Before boarding, a countdown timer informs you of your boarding time. Once on board, you can connect to the ship's free Wi-Fi to access all information, from boarding and disembarkation times to daily entertainment programs, and even check all expenses. Of course, there are also machines on board to check these information. The app displays detailed information such as photos, ship details, and location. It's best to install the app off-board, as internet access on board is charged, with different prices for different connection methods. This cruise ship had very few Chinese passengers and even fewer from other countries; it was mainly populated by Americans and Canadians, predominantly Americans. Not speaking English can be a bit of a challenge. However, the service staff consists of people from various countries, and almost none of the nearly 1,000 staff are Chinese, making it very inconvenient not to speak English. All entertainment programs are in English. For formal meals on board, formal attire is required, preferably dress code, as etiquette is important. Dress codes are less strict for non-formal meals. Arrival on time is expected; try not to be late, as you may be refused service. The Lido Restaurant offers 24-hour service, but standard service is provided during mealtimes. The Carnival's main focus is on fun. From boarding, the cruise line goes to great lengths to make passengers happy; even towels are folded into cute animals, and there are free activities to teach you how to fold towels into animals. There's a library, opera, concerts, talk shows, shore excursions, bars, nightclubs, a swimming pool, table tennis, and much more—everything you could want. Basically, they do everything they can to make you happy. The cabins have TVs where you can watch free news, movies, and more. Enough said, right?

The cruise experience was great. We stayed in a balcony cabin, which was very spacious. The ship's entertainment facilities were incredibly abundant; we went on the water slides several times. Cocoa Bay, which we visited, was also very interesting; it's Royal Caribbean's own island. We bought drink packages and enthusiastically tried out various bars and beverages. I highly recommend the juice bar next to the spa, which offers freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. I even participated in the Black Jack Championship and the Table Tennis Championship, winning a silver medal.

Reviews: MSC World America

Of the four cruise ships we took, this was the best and offered the best value for money; in my opinion, it was even better than the Seas series, which cost twice as much. I must first commend the staff at the Ctrip Cruises center; they were incredibly helpful in contacting the cruise line to reserve drinks and Wi-Fi packages for me, and they were fantastic, especially the onboard juice bar, which used high-quality ingredients and was well worth the package price. The cruise ship was very large, with an elegant environment and abundant entertainment options, particularly the adventure track on the top deck, the large slide in Central Park, and finally a windless ping-pong area. The entertainment director was also incredibly capable and impressive; it would have been better if there were more billiard tables. The food was excellent, featuring Italian specialties, and was the most to my liking of the four cruises we took. The rooms were slightly larger than on other cruise ships, and the cabin attendant (I think her name was Sharon) was a friendly and responsible Black woman.

Reviews: Icon Of The Seas

One of the world's largest cruise ships, it truly is a behemoth, as shown in the comparison photos. The ship boasts state-of-the-art facilities and a strong sense of technology. It features a grand theater, a floating theater, an ice theater, a central terrace, and a central promenade offering a rich array of performances. The water attractions are enormous, including a carousel, making it a true paradise for children. The food is excellent, with lobster and crayfish available on several days. The 24-hour bar in the central courtyard is great, with a comfortable environment and superb sea views. Snacks and drinks are available all day, and there's always a place to stretch your legs, even late at night.

Reviews: Queen Elizabeth

Anonymous user2026-04-11

My 10-day, 9-night Caribbean cruise on the Queen Elizabeth has come to an end, but I still feel like it's not enough. The service and food were superb, the accommodations were excellent and comfortable, the activities were plentiful, and the scenery of the countries we visited each day was stunning. It was a fantastic experience, and I'm so happy! 🥳

Reviews: Norwegian Joy

Anonymous user2026-10-03

My husband and I booked a 12-day cruise on the Norwegian Joy, featuring Alaskan glaciers and the Northern Lights, organized by Shanghai EasyFly Travel – EasyCruise, starting September 20, 2026, through Ctrip. This itinerary offered excellent value, with a 12-day ocean-view balcony cabin costing only 24,999 RMB per person, including all-Chinese-speaking shore excursions. We saw the Mendenhall Glacier and Johns Hopkins Glacier, the highest glacier in Glacier Bay National Park. This cruise route offers a chance to see the Northern Lights in April and September each year. During our cruise from Juneau to Skagway, we encountered several spectacular aurora displays, capturing clear photos and videos on our phones. For just over 20,000 RMB, seeing glaciers and the Northern Lights from a cruise was definitely worthwhile. Our tour leader was Ms. Sun Minhui, the chief tour leader with over 20 years of experience in the cruise industry. This travel agency provides wireless headsets throughout the trip, and the tour leader provides full Chinese commentary during shore excursions. They are highly knowledgeable about cruise culture and organizational structures, both in Alaska and globally, providing tourists with a broad range of information. Our tour leader is also highly professional, carrying a laptop and printer to translate daily reports and write up the next day's notes, ensuring a truly comfortable and worry-free cruise experience.
