Review summary
The only problem we had on this cruise was not because of Carnival. My son wanted to get his hair braided right at the port in Nassau. I paid $230 (plus $20 tip) for him to get his hair braided, and within 24 hours, he had lice so bad everyone in the cabin had to get special shampoo and he had to have a full lice treatment. I did notice that they used the same combs on everyone and such, but I said nothing. It was a nightmare, but, as I said, not Carnival's fault. I must say, though, that if Carnival knows this can happen, it might be nice to have been warned.Embarkation
