Wow, I am so sorry to hear all of these horror stories about Carnival cruises. I will always have a great fondness in my heart for the Carnival cruise ship Sensation. I lived on that ship for 6 months with my late fiance when the cruise ship was used to house essential personnel (firefighters, police, emergency workers, etc) after hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The staff was wonderful to us and our cabin steward Hector was just awesome.
Our cabin attentent was great too he was from the phillipines and he told me they only paid him 75 a month plus he never gets to see his family then a lovely 31 yr old russian came in with coffe for me she said they were sexually harrasing her and they charge so much per minute to use the phone/net that she couldnt afford to call home. She was stuck there for 8 months I think no way to get off. She was almost in tears telling us this story I was so worried about her, she barely spoke english and she said she would tell those other male owrkers " no touch" they were assaulting her. If the truth be known no one would ever go on a cruise again but if all goes well no accidents or crimes it is a site to behold. The ship we were on was old but very well kept.
