Review summary
Me and my wife's favorite part of this cruise were Malcolm's shows. He is funny!! I loved his different shows and activities; they are very entertaining and engaging. All the food provided was excellent. There was a vast variety of everything-all you can eat! I was very pleased with the services provided by the crew. Syafei & Mariffy were excellent servers at the Posh. Syafei has such a positive attitude and he frequently smiles. That's excellent! Mariffy was very personable, courteous, and polite. We really liked her too! Our room was always clean and Nengah did a great job. He provided a great service and he was such a nice person. He had a good attitude; he was humble and always smiled!! Keep it up guys! Good job!!
My only reason to not give 5 stars is due to the attitude of a couple of crew members serving/taking orders for alcohol; especially the woman/server at the Posh. Since alcohol is purchased separately, there is an automatic charge of 15% for tips. She stopped by our table the first night. I ordered 1 alcoholic drink, and since the 15% was included for tips and I only had one drink, I did not tip more. I got an upset face from her, and out of the 5 nights that me and my wife ate at the Posh, that first night was the only night that she stopped by to asked if we wanted an alcoholic beverage. She merely ignored us the rest of the nights we were there. She did not make us feel welcomed and she apparently was trying to punish us for not tipping her MORE THAN 15% over 1 drink. Unless it is obligatory to tip more than 15% for alcohol, it would be beneficial for carnival to talk to some crew members serving alcohol, who feel entitled to always get more than 15% in tips.
I would recommend going on this 7-day cruise on sunny/hot days instead of the cold season because most days were cloudy. We still enjoyed everything, we just hope next time we go on a cruise, it could be during the summer. Overall, it was a lot of fun!!
