Meet the Crew Robbie & Bita (Trippin With RB): Cruise vloggers, adventure lovers, and espresso martini fans Richard (@NoPantsProfits): YouTuber, finance brain, and always ready for a drink and a deep dive Together, we hit Moda Bar to see just how good the espresso martini really is. Moda Bar – Carnival Firenze’s Espresso Martini Gem Moda Bar isn’t just another cruise ship lounge. It's a sleek, Italian-inspired cocktail bar designed for sipping in style. Here's what we experienced: Vibe: Intimate, elegant, and modern — the perfect lounge atmosphere Service: Friendly bartenders who took pride in their craft Presentation: A beautifully served espresso martini with a thick crema and classic garnish Taste: Bold, smooth, with just the right sweetness and espresso kick From the first pour to the final sip, Moda Bar made it a cocktail worth remembering. Our Rating System Each of us scored the martini based on four key categories: Taste – Is it strong, smooth, and well-balanced? Presentation – From foam to garnish, is it visually appealing? Atmosphere – How does Moda Bar enhance the experience? Buzz Factor – Did it lift us up or knock us out? Watch us break it all down — with plenty of laughs in between.
