Review summary

So, 5 days into the cruise I get a letter requiring me to be present at a front bar 45 minutes before docking at Victoria, BC. I was told if I didn't show up, no one would be allowed to leave the ship. We were NOT planning on disembarking at Victoria since I'd been deported as a teen because a guy I traveled with had a joint in his luggage. So we had no plans on visiting Canada. But I was required to disembark and go through customs where I was asked about my deportation and any criminal issues I may have had 45 years ago. Apparently Carnival sends the ships manifest of passengers to Canadian customs who look it over and red flag people who they want to talk with. Carnival doesn't screen for who's getting off in Canada and just says ALL on custom's list MUST DISEMBARK or nobody gets off. I don't walk very well with some hip problem and was using a walker on the trip. a thousand foot ship takes some walking and at most ports there's quite a walk as well. I was just disappointed that Carnival didn't screen me out of their 'throwing under the bus' deal they have with Canada. Frosted my cookies. Won't be traveling with Carnival anytime soon, or ever.
