Review summary

I have been on over 20 cruises and I have never had a rude staff person until this cruise.  Customer service desk, person in charge of the pool deck, casino help all RUDE.  My sister in law fell in the casino on the wet floor not one staff person came to help her a passenger helped her up.  Our waiter was good but the bus boy was only seen on occasion, no coffee ever offered, had to ask for the bar waiter for our shots, food choices were awful, I think it is because they want you to go to the specialty restaurants.  We went to the steakhouse it was excellent our waiter Victor was above excellent but the hostess that took our reservations was awful.  The hostess the night we went who was the one in charge we found out later was rude and snotty. The entertainment was terrible except for the singers And dancers. I feel that the bigger ships must be taking all the good staff and entertainment.  One of the ladies I traveled with used the medical services a few days and was very pleased with them. The girl at the shore excursion desk was great I wish I got her name she was the best staff member on board. Even though I have had not had much positive things to say we all had a great time we made the best of it after all it was a vacation, we are just spoiled from the other lines much better than carnival.  I have sailed three times with carnival that's it for me.  We also did not get our on board credits while sailing I feel the customer service and travel agent should have dealt with it but I had to all they did was hand me the phone to call. I did not want to deal with that while I was on vacation.  Leo knapp was our agent he was awesome to work with he always helped and answered anything I asked.  Even though our credit was not on our account while sailing he resolved it and we are getting a credit on our charge cards, much more than carnival did for us they did nothing.i probably could go on but not worth it.

Was on Conquest in February, 2016. Not sure which conquest you were on, but that does not sound like the conquest we were on. We had the best waiter, room steward, cooks, cleaning staff and the best cruise director! Maybe the problem was not with Carnival...if you get my drift. And I agree, you need to go back to your other cruise lines, I wonder if they were ever rude to you. Rant over

I have had great service on some of the old smaller ships,   I actually think you get better service on them then the new jumbo ships.  Some ships just have a better crew then others,  From management down.

I will be on Conquest April 10th, I can't wait! I will have fun no matter what! How can you not enjoy being on a ship? Sorry it was bad for you.

I'm sure that in October I will have an AWESOME time on the Conquest.

Sorry you had issues however as far as the onboard credit goes if that was offered through your travel agent then it would be up to them to correct. That is not a carnival issue it is between you and the agent.

I was just on conquest a week ago, we never encountered anybody rude, staff always went out of their way, we liked the shows, and had no issues with the food.there was 6 of us, and nobody had any complaints

Sorry you had such bad luck. It must have changed a lot. We were on it last October for 8 nights and never experienced any of these problems. Our only problem was that it ended to soon.
