Review summary
I was forced to go on this cruise after finding out i had mrsa in the bone of my toe. My toe was amputated a week before the cruise. I contacted carnival i neglected to get insurance for this trip and carnival said they could do nothing if i cancelled i woild lose everything i paid. I work hard for my money so i took the cruise with a amputated stitched up toe and a pic line going to my main artery to get antibiotics through iv. I could not get in the water and could only spend limtrf time in the sun. I would have thought being a gold member with carnival and the fact that i cruise every year they would have worked with me but, it seems its all about the money. I called after the cruise and carnival stated because i took the cruise they couldnt do anything for me ironic they said they could do nothing for me before the cruise either. Up to now i have loved carnival but unfortunately i will have to go with a different cruise line in the future.

It's too bad that you had to have the surgery, and lose your toe, but how were you "forced to take the cruise"? You chose not to take out insurance, it was nothing to do with Carnival cruise lines. Just because you have cruised a few times, has no bearing on anything to do with your situation. You chose to get to the port and go through the embarkation, no one was forcing you. You could have forfeited the money and stayed home. You ate the meals, and lounged in the sun on the ship which sounds like a wonderful way to recouperate . I hope you are feeling better and can look back on the good time you had on a beautiful ship.
