sadiecat Posted July 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I was surfing you tube today and came across a review this lady did on the Ecstasy. One of the things she was not happy about was the long time it took in the MDR for dinner. She went to guest services to complain and was told that the Ecstasy is a training ship. Once the people are trained then they are assigned to other ships in the fleet. Has anyone else ever been told this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabaco Posted July 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I just got off the Ecstasy today and had SUCH better service than I had on the Valor the week before. Waiters in bars called us by name, as did the server we had for the Sea Day brunch. She remembered our names 2 days later and also remembered what we ordered. Our steward wasn't very friendly but that can happen. He did his job. The ship was clean and well maintained. I was worried before I boarded, but was been one of my best cruises ever.

Luluwa Posted July 19, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2016 interesting I've never heard that but would make sense to have a "training" ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdGuyMG Posted July 19, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2016 interesting I've never heard that but would make sense to have a "training" ship There are crew members starting their 1st contracts and newbie employees on every ship every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomcruiser891 Posted July 19, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Never heard that but makes sense. In a sense it could be a better ship. Newer people working harder and more enthusiastic and excited to be there before the end of their contracts? On the Liberty MDR service was slower too compared to the freedom and triumph. The patience is well worth it though because the food in MDR is better than buffet any day in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzinScotty Posted July 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) sadiecat, I echo what zabaco posted. I'm currently doing a trip review of my June cruise on the Ecstasy. I think I'm being fair in pointing out things that weren't perfect. But overall, it's a very positive review because I really had that good of a time. My head waiter has been with Carnival for 26 years! Maybe he is training his assistant waiters; but in our section and through out the 1/2 of the YTD Wind Star Dining Room I could see - everyone had excellent service. I say that because there were people that left before us and most of the rest having dessert as we were leaving; so not far behind. Our average dining time was 1.5 hrs - which is pretty good for YTD.

skrufy Posted July 19, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2016 We have been on 7 Carnival ships and never heard of a training ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presentation Posted July 19, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Perhaps the guest services representative on the Carnival Ecstasy was referring to the passengers? :D Edited July 19, 2016 by Presentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
