Date of Cruise: July 7th, 2006
I cruised with Carnival Destiny on September 4th, 2005 to the southern
Caribbean. This was my second cruise but first with carnival and believe me it
will definitely be my last. After cruising with Royal Caribbean on Voyager of
the Seas I was not impressed. I was able to visit St. Thomas and Dominica only
as on my return back to ship from Dominica while in the dining room I slipped
and fell because of water that had been left to sit with no sign to warn anyone.
This caused me to be in a wheel chair for the rest of the trip. On the stop in
Aruba while the rest of my family went shopping I was sent to the hospital for
additional x-rays. What was meant to a relaxing vacation turned out to be a
nightmare, I was in bed for the rest of the trip. Could barely walk, and needed
assistance for everything. I ordered room service and the presentation of the
food was disgusting. I have tried to contact carnival since this incidence to no
avail. There are times that I am in bed for days from the pain associated with
this fall. Ii have to take percocet just to manage the pain. I have never been
compensated for the inconvenience. I personally feel that I should have been
refunded as I was not able to enjoy my cruise the way I should and definitely
the way that I planned. I do hope that someone from Carnival does read this and
contact me. I sent a letter to carnival and received no response. Take Warning!
DO NOT CRUISE WITH CARNIVAL!
