Review summary

This was my second Crnival Cruise, we were on a 5 day trip from Galveston to Cozumel and Progresso, and I was terribly dissatisfied. Our stateroom's toilet had black floaty stuff in it the whole 5 days, there was a broken part of the handicap railing in the shower which fell off and had a razor sharp edge which almost cut my boyfriends foot, the "watch your step" metal cover over the door edge onto the balcony fell off and my boyfriend cut his foot on it. My son got bed bugs, and when we confronted Carnival about it, they denied they were bed bugs, even though I showed them the bugs I captured in a glass jar in comparison to pics of the bugs online. The food was mediocre, and the deserts were heavliy laded with eggs and flour tasting like they came out of a premade container. There was a pugnet smell of rotting fish and dirty water on the ship as well. The balcony light in our stateroom was broken and unworking as well :( Cozumel was beautiful. Progresso was interesting being that we were able to visit the local downtown market and the Mayan Ruins. Upon disembarking, while waiting on the ship in our designated area, one of the ship's crewman was yelling at the group of people "this is the last time I am going to tell all of you to get into the Rome Lounge and wait to be called, I have repeated myself enough and no one is listening" .... we had just gotten there and were confused enought o know have this woman yelling at all of us

We were just on the Carnival Triump this past weekend and my whole family has little bites all over them. I worried that we might've been in a room with bed bugs :( The worst part is that I didn't notice till the next day so I'm worried that we may have brought them into our home. I checked all of our beds and washed all of the clothes as soon as we got home but what about the luggage? So now, I am going to have to pay a pest control to come to my home and inspect for bed bugs! I am not a happy camper! May I ask what deck you stayed on? We were on the 8th floor. I've been trying to check for posts of anyone else that went on the same cruise line and the same time frame is having any of these problems,
