Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Alchemy bar leader was incredibly rude and hostile. Female Bar tender in casino was horrible and made many off color remarks about patrons. Accented woman at coffee bar on #5 was rude to everyone. Room staff was kind and most bar tenders in #9 floor was very good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Was clean but a bit smaller than expected.

Ship tip

Don't do it for more than a couple days. After that the staff just seems to be tired of everyone. It got so had we hardly left our cabin the final couple days of the trip.

I would like to echo OP’s sentiments shared here. Last night of Valor here and this has probably been the worst “staff experience”. The ship is showing her age, the cleanliness and maintenance seems very lacking. But, the rudeness of staff was most pronounced to me. Carnival no longer feels like a good value.
