Bed bugs on Carnival ships

Got attacked by bed bugs on the Carnival Sensation in cabin M55. Reported it, and they didn't nothing about it. Now we are having a 3 story house treated and threw away all our luggage. Take no chances! Don't cruise on this ship or with carnival. It's definitely not worth it. Not only bed bugs, but the room was disgusting. Holes in the bathroom floor that are duck tapped. Water out of the bathroom sink that has a yellowish color that looks like somebody didn't flush the toilet. Rust in all the corners and Windows. Worste cruise experience ever. I can list a bunch of other things but it will steer away from the major problem.. bed bugs!!!

My husband was bitten by bedbugs on the Carnival Elation June 2017. We reported it and they did nothing. When we got home to Saint Louis, Missouri we informed AAA our travel agent the complained and wrote to Carnival and sent pictures. They did nothing. Carnival is a horrible cruiseline

OMG! What a nightmare.

I've never had an issue with bed bugs on Carnival. It's the only line we ever cruised.

Never had the issue with Carnival. However, I agree with BAK, did you pick them up at the Hotel the night before??

I wonder how a line would handle someone going to them, saying their room has bed bugs.... Lots of factors involved... Is it a full ship and can the person not be moved? What will they do to that room?

My spider brain is going all over the place with this one.

They aren't difficult to check for. We do it as soon as we get to our cabin. Just lift the corners of the sheet, and check the mattress with a lighted magnifier. Once that is done, we glove up, and start to clean the cabin.

Sounds like we have been incredibly lucky based on this :/

Post I like best is from the fellow who said he cruised 20 years and never had a problem but then for a 6 day stretch on MSC, out of the Netherlands, he was a "human buffet for bed bugs".

They continue to say they are working on a forum for a cruise ship bed bug watch but it hasn’t materialized yet.

what a shock
