Review summary

For as short staffed as they were, the majority of the workers were kind and smiling. Carnival isn't my favorite but they are very cost effective.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Moises was AMAZING!!! He was very attentive and knew our names...very friendly and if our hands were full, he would run to our door to open. He was perfect!!! Gerald was my FAVORITE bartender at tides bar!!! Always smiling! Always friendly! Always fast!!! He was the best!!!! Then there was Tamara at the red frog bar. As perfect as Gerald was, she was the exact opposite. Rude...stating she would get yo us when she could. When another gentlemen said that we were 1st she stated she knew and we could wait. Never smiled. Clearly doing her job was an interruption to her day. I've never seen an employee on a cruise ship be so down right rude and miserable. She should probably try another profession.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Pool was disgusting. Floors not cleaned. The ship was short staffed so often dirty dishes on tables regardless of the staff hustling like crazy.
