July 2023 - 5 Night Western Caribbean (New Orleans Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Valor
Family Vacay
Overall we really enjoyed this cruise. However, carnival has changed a lot since pre-covid. The drinks were watered down (mainly noticed on the 1st day), there was no “turn down” service in any of our staterooms. Everything seemed to be an extra fee now. Aside from the wait staff in the main dining room, no one really seemed to go “above and beyond”. I noticed a lot of staff standing around on their phones which isn’t necessarily an issue, it was just one sign that their level of service and high standards have fallen tremendously.
