Review summary
I want to start off by saying that carnival is very well organized and can certainly put on a good time for its passengers. The housekeeping staff was the best I've ever seen. However, there is room for improvements in many areas. First of all the bottomless bubbles ends up to be kind of a waste of money because you think you're going to utilize it more but at the end of the day waiting in a long line for one sods doesn't seem to pay off so you drink lemonade or ice tea which is free. Somebody who orders an alcoholic beverage can walk away with two while someone who simply wants a Coke can only walk away with one. Not sure what the reason is behind that. In my opinion they need to have some sort of drink dispenser where you can put your room card if they feel the need to monitor it so it will allow you to refill your beverage without waiting for a bartender who seems uninterested in helping you especially when they realize that you're only there for a soda. That brings us to the attitude of some of the bartenders. I sat in line and waited for a soda for over 20 minutes and some one cut in front of us know the bartender had seen that we were standing there and she went ahead and helped the person who jumped the line and when I asked her why she did that, she stated she did not see us standing there. Me and The customer behind me were extremely irritated Because we had been waiting for such a long time and we knew she saw us. The food buffet was hit or miss. I do think they need a little bit more of a variety especially at lunch and dinner. But all in all it was a great time and I definitely would Cruise on Carnival again.
