While on a Carnival cruise I chose to have a manicure/pedicure here on the recommendation of a bartender downtown. They cheated me as follows: I made the arrangement/appointment at 2:00 for 3:00. They had us pay in advance (it was a gift from my husband). It was 3:30 before they started and only one person so only time for manicure. I was her very first client EVER. She was sweet and slow as molasses. I opted to not have cuticles cut, not have hand massage and not have color as time would not allow and still it took so long I would not have time for pedicure before having to re-board the cruise ship. I tipped the girl very generously and we approached the desk for a partial refund. The person who gave me a manicure totally understood. However, the manager of the salon REFUSED to refund money for the pedicure I DID NOT RECEIVE due to their poor time management. I felt as though I'd been robbed. The manager of the Hotel came and talked to us after we repeatedly asked to see him. He said she would give us a partial refund but when we went back into the salon she DID NOT! Live and learn I guess. I will never pay for a service beforehand ever again. Also, would never go back to Hotel Corona. I would like to mention though, the service in the bar was attentive and the drinks and food were wonderful. read more
