Carnival Legend : RETURNED!

[HappilyCrusing]

We just returned from the Carnival Legend. The trip was AMAZING, the food the excursions....

 

EXCEPT for the amount of time that we spent at the port. It's too short. 5 hours may SEEM like alot, but it's not. It usually takes about an hour to get off the ship and 30 mins to get to your destination. Then you have to leave about 30 mins BEFORE the ship leaves to get ready so you don't miss the boat. So really you have about..3 hours.

 

I reccommend going to Chakanabb in Cozumel?? I think it is spelled like that. Do either the Royal Dolphin or Sea Lion Swim. I've already swan with the dolphins, and we don't have sea lions so we did that.

 

In Belize we didn't do much...

 

In Isla Roatan we went to the Maya Key. It's private and costs 79$ per person. They have snorkeling, a beach, and lots of rescued animals. There were only 34 people there. It also comes with a tour of the animals and a sea lion feeding (both optional) and lunch.

 

Grand Cayman...Over priced, very expensive...And the people were NOT friendly. Go to 7 Mile Beach. BEAUTIFUL! We ate lunch at Margaritaville...For 3 people to eat it was 67$ !!! We actually saw a Water Spout...VERY COOL!

 

 

But sadly we lost a piece of luggage.......And Carnival lost it. Do you know what they do?

Re: Luggage from the Cruise Contract...

 

4. BAGGAGE, PERSONAL PROPERTY, PROHIBITED ITEMS, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

(a) Each fully paid adult Guest will be allowed a reasonable amount of luggage on board containing their personal belongings. Luggage means only trunks, valises, satchels, bags, hangers and bundles with their contents consisting of only such wearing apparel, toilet articles and similar personal effects as are necessary and appropriate for the purpose of the journey.

b) No tools of trade, household goods, presents and/or property of others, jewelry, money, cameras, documents, valuables of any description including but not limited to such articles as are described in Title 46 of the United States Code section 30503 shall be carried except under and subject to the terms of a special written contract or Bill of Lading entered into with Carnival prior to embarkation upon application of the Guest. The Guest warrants that no such articles are contained in any receptacle or container presented by him as baggage hereunder, and if any such articles are shipped in the Guest’s baggage in breach of this warranty, no liability for negligence, gross or ordinary, shall attach to Carnival for any loss or damage thereto.

© Carnival shall not be liable for: (1) Guest’s failure to comply with the requirements set forth in Clauses 4(a) and 4(b); (2) any loss or damage before baggage comes into Carnival’s actual custody on board or after baggage leaves Carnival’s actual custody on board, including, but not limited to, loss or damage by airlines or other transportation services; (3) any loss or damage of baggage while not in the actual possession, custody and control of Carnival; (4) damage due to wear, tear or normal usage; (5) any loss or damage of perishable items, medicine, liquor, cash, securities or other financial instruments, or (6) any loss or damage while in the custody and control of stevedores.

If Carnival shall be held liable for the loss of or damage to Guest’s baggage or property it is agreed that such liability shall not exceed the lesser of: (1) the actual cash value, or (2) value declared in the manner above provided (up to U.S. $100 if no such declaration has been made).

Each Guest warrants that no such articles are contained in any receptacle or container carried or presented as baggage. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited except as provided for in clause 8(f). All Guests agree Carnival has, at all times with or without notice, the right to search Guest’s baggage and/or personal effects for any of the prohibited items, at any location, to ensure compliance with these restrictions. Any Guest who refuses any such search or screening, or any Guest traveling with such items, may be denied boarding or disembarked and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. The Guest will be solely responsible for any and all damage and/or loss caused by his violation of this policy.

 

I tried to read through it to give you a quick answer, but my eyes started bleeding.

 

Hopefully you can make sense of it.

So Carnival can't do anything? We lost bathing suits, towels, and snorkel and goggle items.

 

We lost probably about....200-250 dollars worth of stuff.

 

We did the thing where you give it to Carnival to take care of. My mom was crying. :( So it's not like we left it sit somewhere...

Did you have any trip insurance? If so, you can file a claim, they should pay even if Carnival does not.

Did you lose it at the beginning or end of the trip? If it was the end of the trip, it may still show up.
