Review summary

I was told I could not bring any type of milk for my baby, even though adults were allowed to bring wine. I was told the milk my baby needed was on board, so there was no need to bring it. While we were on board, they did NOT have the milk she needed. They didn't have anything she could drink besides water. I asked everyone on board if they had the milk.. no one did. I do not understand why Carnival will not allow someone to bring milk, yet allow wine. My poor baby was so miserable the entire week.

She's not telling the whole story. She has posted this all over the Carnival site as well. She needed soy milk, I believe. And, from what I understand, Carnival does have it. I think she could have brought some on board but didn't. Whether that was a miscommunication or a misunderstanding is still unclear to me. Bottom line, if soy milk is that important take it yourself or call special needs!

You asked for milk, not formula. And yes, just like they said, they have milk. We have it with cereal and we get the small cartons in the buffet line, or order it from room service.

Things have changed drastically since last year's cruises Alexandra611 they use to allow people to bring your own bottled water but not now because of all the idiots that were resealing the caps and bringing alcohol on board.
