Review summary
We love the Carnival cruise staff, from our room attendant Gary, to the Gold Pearl hostess, to the dinner wait staff / all great people. The condition of our room was adequate, the deck was very dirty / and the staff seemed unprepared to do an excellent cleaning job when we complained about the deck. We were also surprised about the food / friends has told us we would be pleasantly surprised about the quality of the food, that was far from the reality we experienced / small dinner portions were the rule, fish was very over cooked and fishy on one night / Grand Marnier souffle was really not a souffle or Grand Marnier. The ship is getting a little run down in places. The shows were big on energy, but lacking in good singers / I hate to say that because one or two were exceptional, and most were not. The drinks are inconsistent by bar-tender / sometimes on shot in a margarita and other times two shots :) We loved the stops and excursions, and overall my wife and I had a very good time together / so it was not all bad.
