Review summary

Overall we really enjoyed this cruise. However, carnival has changed a lot since pre-covid. The drinks were watered down (mainly noticed on the 1st day), there was no “turn down” service in any of our staterooms. Everything seemed to be an extra fee now. Aside from the wait staff in the main dining room, no one really seemed to go “above and beyond”. I noticed a lot of staff standing around on their phones which isn’t necessarily an issue, it was just one sign that their level of service and high standards have fallen tremendously.

Details along with low stars would have been helpful. Curious, how does one water down alcohol? I watch them make most of my drinks and they have always been great.

Many things have changed since Covid. Expecting the same experience as pre-Covid will result in disappointment.
