Creator's Key Takeaways

There were no water spritzer bottles to cool the skin. There were no places to buy sunblock. Carnival's refusal to help me is wrong. There were no warning signs.

It's not Carnival's job to remind grown adults to apply sunscreen to themselves and to their children. That's on you.

You want spritzer bottles and sunblock stations? Well, you should probably stay in a Disney resort.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Apply sunscreen yourself on open decks.
Consider travel insurance for medical issues.
Don't blame the cruise line for personal oversights.
