Review summary

After having last cruised 4 years ago on the Epic, I was expecting more in terms of service and the quality of the food. The Epic was amazing in all aspects; atmosphere, food, service, entertainment...  I took advantage of the offer to deposit on a future cruise within 4 years, hence my 2015 cruise on the Breakaway. I'm not sure what time has changed or what they've done in 4 years, but I was disappointed at times with the service. The dining room dinner service was not as I remember it. I feel that now that they've implemented the daily service charge some of the staff is less motivated and interested in making sure you're all set; often we had to seek them out. In fact one server told me she was clearing off the tables so I had to wait. Also the food quality has gone down in my opinion. Although this may appear to be negative, it is not. Even with the changes noted, it was a pleasant experience and we're looking to cruise again.

yes agree carnival has definitely changed also. I find the way you treat the staff will greatly determine the way they treat you. try talking to them and treat them like a friend and maybe leave 10 bucks in the room every day and give a cash tip at the bar you go to a lot. your spending a lot of money already cut back on something else maybe you shouldn't take the insurance and give that money to the crew you will have a much more pleasant time. remember the crew is here to make a living and they to have families to support
