Review summary
So I am not usually a Review kind of person but I just had to share some of the great things that made this post-Covid trip a cruise to remember. I'll try to be concise and bullet point my good and not-so-good experiences: 1. Room 6299 is the worse placement room I have had on a boat. Right above the Ocean Plaza, heard every drum beats and bass guitar till 1am. Went down to guest services the next morning and they changed my room. By the way, Guest Services Rock!!!! Love Julia!!! 2. Overall the food quality has gone way down. I realize that Carnival has to cut cost somewhere and food prices are definetly on the rise, so I get it and will give Carnival a pass for the time being. 3. Alchemy Bar is the BEST PLACE on the ship!!! This is Carnival's best kept secret on any boat. The Mixologist that work this bar are true Masters of their craft and deserve the recognition and praise and TIPS!!!!! Raunak, Catalina and Alexandar fostered an incredibly warm, fun and inviting atmosphere while blowing us away with masterful concoctions. 4. The spa usually gets a bad wrap due to issues with charges. Now full disclosure, I did have an issue with my pre cruise spa purchases. After I received my first massage, I was wrongly charged but guest services came to the rescue once again. After that mishap, my spa experience was a dream. Anshu has magic fingers and she found pressure points I never knew existed. She is an extremely skilled professional!!! 5. We had anytime dining, not my favorite because I like the same wait staff. Fun Fact, you can still ask to be seated in the same section even in this dining room. Zoran went above and beyond to make every night as special as possible. Now if you cruise you know, in the past, the helpers to the head waiter really did the grunt work. Carnival must be spreading these poor folk thin because Zoran was working his tail off and he STILL gave us great service. 6. Comedians were a mixed bag. Matt Sadler was the best comic I've seen in a long time and truly if they had him at every show I would be in heaven. So all in all a great trip. Can't wait to book my next cruise!!Embarkation
