My son split open his chin on the side of the pool on the Dream while docked in Cozumel. We were nervous not only getting him stitches but also the cost. They were very good in the infirmary at calming all three of us down. They gave us the choice to go to a hospital in Cozumel or have them try to do the stitches. We opted for them to do it and the nurse and doctor were great. They gave us extra waterproof bandages so he could still swim and called to check on him a few times during the cruise. Unfortunately there was a medical issue on our last night with a medivac, so we didn't go back to get his stitches out. I took him to the walk-in clinic when we got back and the doctor said he was impressed with how well they closed it up. He has only a small scar. Best of all, there was no cost because it was an accident. We wrote a letter to Carnival praising the care we received.
