Review summary

this was my first cruise and I've always heard how wonder they are and how the crew members take good care of you.  This was not my experience.  The bartenders were terrible.  They were rude and acted like they really didn't want to be there.  We had 3 waiters at night at dinner.  I loved 2 of them but the main one was awful.  

Our room was taken care of very well.  The food was ok.  Guys burger was AWESOME!   

It was just less than I expected.  Guest services desk wasn't all that friendly either.  

Msybe this is how it always is.  This was my first cruise.  I doubt I will go on another on this ship.

I've been on 3 cruises..Dream, Elation, conquest, and now triumph. I can honestly say I have never met a rude person working on these ships. Maybe I just got lucky I don't know. But I read this a lot. Maybe I'm just not paying attention? Idk

Do not go Carnival Go Norwegion or Princess or Holland America or Celebrity. Huge difference.
