PenguinLife Posted November 6, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2011 My wife was diagnosed with a condition that requires use of injectable medication that is packaged in special 2 part mixing syringes last year. On our most recent cruise in January we requested a sharps container from the Carnival which was delivered by the room steward, unfortunately the small "travel" sharps container opening was slightly too small for the mixing connector on the syringe which required somewhat awkward disassembly of the syringe (plunger removal) to let it fit through the opening on the sharps container. So I was wondering if all Carnival ships use the same style sharps container, or if they would allow someone to bring their own sharps container, or if you have any alternative thoughts on dealing with this matter? I plan to email Carnival about this issue, but their web site is not working right at the moment. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylock Posted November 6, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 6, 2011 You can bring your own or you can go down to the sick bay and they will dispose of it in their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deborahjo Posted November 6, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Contact the Special Needs Department on Carnival. Explain your issue and they will fix it for you. They have always been very helpful for me. Don't have the number handy sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
