All these Carnival security horror stories...

[elliair]

:confused: I haven't seen any horror stories...

 

I've only seen a couple of these stories and I wasn't horrified, I sat there and LMAO! If anyone is scared of horror stories, stay at home and lock your doors and have a loaded weapon - just in case someone decides to invade your home. Oh and stay out of malls too!

I was about to post the exact same thing....there is still more crime in your home town I'm sure. Guess it is time for all those people that are scared of Carnival because of a few isolated events to move to the woods of Montana and become hermits. That is like people that are scared to fly after there is a plane crash....guess they should not drive because more people die in auto accidents then plane crashes every year.

And as far as the OP's concerns about their 3 little ones...my advice is to just use due diligence like you do in a mall or any other public place with them. We leave our 4 year old in Camp Carnival as much as she likes and NEVER had any issues or concerns. We go up every hour or so and peek in and check on her. The staff if VERY cautious about signing kids in and out.

You forgot don't go camping and to home school your kids. Might as well stay away from churches too.:rolleyes:

Honestly, if you just use common sense, and watch your kids, as they're young, you will be fine. We have NEVER had an issue on the cruise ship.

 

Stuff gets blown out of proportion on the CNN's of the world.....:rolleyes:

 

Keep your kids in your sight.

Lock your deadbolt if in your cabin alone, or even better, at ALL times.

Watch your kids in the pool.

 

Go and have FUN!!!!!!:D:D

 

The national networks blow this stuff out of proportion because it happens so infrequently, but the one time it DOES happen, it sticks in peoples minds.

Maybe you should just take your little ones and sail on Disney cruises then.. they never have any "horror" stories...:rolleyes:

 

To bad they do have horror stories.

 

2 months ago an office attacked a young lady in an elevator before the ship left port. I believe it was the Wonder. You can google it. It was reported. Disney let this guy sail to the Nassau and not in custody. As soon as the ship ported Disney scurred him off the ship and to the airport so he could not be charged.

 

Yes they have nothing happening on their ships............

I have heard of a young lady attacking an office, but never have heard of a office attacking a young lady. :)

Same things happen on land vacations only more frequently. You just have to always be on guard.

If you vacation on land in Florida I would be more frightened than on a ship.

Crime rate in Florida is one of the highest in the country.

Nooooooooo! Don't cruise on Disney, a 4 year old nearly drowned!

This is Carnival. Please stop having unrealistic expectations.

[EZ4]

Cruise lines earn their reputations. They're not just heaped on them by mean people. :p

[UATLB]

Common senses goes a long way!!!! My kids (5&10) have been on 5 carnival & 1 royal never had an issue. We r always with them and when we're not there in camp.

 

Being on 25+ I don't have any horror stories to report experienced or witnessed

[Thong]

I don't have any horror stories, but I do have some whore stories on Carnival.

Where are all these office attacks coming from? Strange stuff.

Care to share with the group?

You wouldn't like it, it would involve rule breaking :D

A true gentleman never kisses and tells, but let's just say it involves reaching the maximum number of drinks in the Cheers program, Faster to the Fun, and a towel animal... :eek:

As we progress into 2014, I want to thank you for

your educational e-mails over the past year. I am

totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

 

I can no longer open a bathroom door without using

a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in

my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on

the lemon peel.

 

I can't sit down on a hotel bedspread because I can

only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

 

I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been

driving because the number one pastime while driving alone

is picking one's nose.

 

Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I

can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have

consumed over the years.

 

I can't touch any woman's handbag for fear she has placed

it on the floor of a public toilet.

 

I must send my special thanks for the email about rat poo

in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet

sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.

 

ALSO,now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for

the same reason.

 

I can't have a drink in a bar because I fear I'll wake up

in a bathtub full of ice with my kidneys gone.

 

I can't eat at KFC because their chickens are actually horrible

mutant freaks with no eyes, feet or feathers.

 

I can't use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell

like a water buffalo on a hot day.

 

Thanks to you I have learned that my prayers only get answered

if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish

within five minutes.

 

Because of your concern,I no longer drink Coca Cola because

it can remove toilet stains.

 

I no longer buy fuel without taking someone along to watch the car,

* so a serial killer doesn't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up.

 

I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes

seven different types of cancer.

 

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water

in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face,

disfiguring me for life.

 

I no longer go to the cinema because I could be pricked with a

needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.

 

I no longer go to shopping centers because someone will drug

me with a perfume sample and rob me..

*

And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask

me to dial a number for which I will get a huge phone bill with

calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan ..

 

Thanks to you I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a

big black snake could be lurking under the seat and cause me

instant death when it bites my butt.

 

And thanks to your great advice I can't ever pick up a

dime coin dropped in the car park because it was probably

placed there by a sex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.

 

I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten

by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.

 

*

Oh, and by the way...

*

A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study,

has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity

read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse.

*

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

*

P. S. I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because

I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 ft. out

of the toilet..

 

NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF A VERY GOOD DAY…

Can't tell if you are being sarcastically funny, or just being YOU:rolleyes::rolleyes:

 

Parents seem to think when they get on a cruise ship, their kids are no longer their responsibility. GROW UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!

 

Just saw a segment on our local news, here in CT, in regards to the two boys drowning on the Norwegian ship out of NYC two weeks back. WHERE WERE THE PARENTS?????????? I am sorry, and feel horrible for what they must be going through, but too many parents think someone else will keep an eye on their kids, while on a cruise, and that is NOT the case.

 

I don't know of ANY cruise ship that has lifeguards.

[Lerin]

I know a cruise horror story.

Happened on a ship named Titanic.

Some of you have probably already heard it though. :p

[golfb4cruzing]

Once, at Band Camp......

You don't need to go back that far. You can look right under the Carnival Corp umbrella, the Concoridia. That tomb still sits there.

[awhcruiser]

This made me laugh!

Did that Captain's trial ever go to court or did he ever receive a sentence? I don't remember ever seeing that. And didn't they right the ship and tow it off for scrap?
