Carnival all talk and no do

Last trip on Dream I got hit in the ankle by a drunk scooter driver, got a good bruise. Nothing done, limped to guest services and they told me to go to medical. On our deck(2) there were 5 scooters on our corridor outside the cabins. According to Carnival policy they should be in cabin.The scooter people are getting meaner as the passengers are getting rude to them, crowding on elevators, so they have to wait for 2 or 3 elevators come down and some caring passengers lets them on. Also Carnival put out they hired more security, only saw one security guard on the whole 8 day cruise, standing by the teen night club. Carnival said teens have to be in cabins by a certain time, saw teens in hot tub in rear at 2 am. no security(I do midnite walks). Carnival said they will tag chairs to keep chair hogs from hogging chairs. . Saw chairs with same towels,etc. on them all morning no tags on them. Where are Carnivals drug sniffing dogs? Could smell weed someone next to my balcony was smoking, no security. So what Carnival puts out it is hot air. I was on Dream last week

Thats a very short post and hits the nail sqaure....."get em on, get em off"...and no bad press because nothing bad happened...

I've seen quite a few security personnel on Carnival ships, but I think Carnival is generally loathe to confront guests unless it's an infraction involving theft, fighting, abusive behavior or maritime law. All of the other "rules" seem to be just suggestions.

Well, *&%@! I had great hopes for the new and improved guidelines (aka, rules).

Never sailed the Dream. Was going to book one but now I'm a little apprehensive after this and your other post.
