In Jan. my friend and I decided to take a cruise and recover from the hectic Xmas season. Little did we know our stress level would reach new heights.

The scene at the pier was chaotic and unorganized to say the least. The luggage handlers grab your luggage and whisk it away.
After boarding, and waiting and inquiring for 13 hours (Where's our Luggage?).We were dismissed rudely and told to wait in our cabin. very upset, with the prospect that our luggage might have been stolen, we missed dinner , the first night show, while "waiting" for a response from the desk. With nothing more than the clothes on our back.
Many hours later we were informed Carnival had put our luggage on another ship and we would not see it again for 8 days. That's all they said, never even said sorry. They offered nothing to appease us or console us.
We spent the 2 and one half days in Port searching for the necessities of life..like underwear and such. The other days we felt like hiding in our cabin.
Upon return we sent a letter to Customer relations, hoping they would at least reimburse for some of the $500.00 we spent just to be presentable in the midddle of the ocean. Their response, in a word "Sh-T Happens."

STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, FROM CARNIVAL.
