  1. Let's get this straight: 1. You booked a category cabin that, at the time, you were happen with. 2. You then put in a bid for an upgrade that was still probably a discounted price from the regular price or guarantee price category for the cabin. 3. You were notified that your bid was accepted. 4. You then received a call from a employee who was doing their job (probably courteously and professionally), that due to an error or a mix up, you upgraded cabin was not available. 5.Cruise line ticket contracts (Terms and Conditions) include the language that a cabin assignment can be changed at a the cruise line's discretion. 6. For some reason, there is the perception that all the cruise line professionals that were in contact with you are "flunkies," a derogatory term for someone who performs menial tasks, usually obsequiously. You, of course should only be dealt with by the cruise line CEO's office and immediately receive your discounted cabin. Is that the gist? Yeah, no.
  2. Again, please finish the sentence that you quoted that requires the submission of verification.
  3. LOL! I pointed out several pages ago that there was a second step (providing of verification) that everyone keeps overlooking. If the verification was not provided within the required time frame (before noon of the day of embarkation), then all conditions were not met for a refund or FCC.
  4. Celebrity did not owe you anything. Please educate yourself on how the cost of the division of port fees among passengers are estimated far in advanced of a itinerary being offered for sale and what may happen in the interim between the estimate paid and the actual cost of the fees of all ports visited.
  5. Carnival knows the demographics of the clientele that they attract. Carnival offering free drinks costs them more in the long run than some other cruise lines offering free drinks as the other lines' clientele appreciate a (one) free drink or perhaps two before the passenger reaches their alcohol limit.
  6. Reading comprehension can sometimes be lacking for many....
  7. There is where we differ. I had to cancel a twelve night cruise departing on January 12 this year at the last minute because of a unexpected illness of my husband. Before I canceled, I read and understood the cancellation policy for the cruise line (not MSC) and the requirements of our cruise insurance policy. Cancellation went smoothly on the cruise line end and all required documentation was submitted to the insurance. The cruise line refunded all excursions, taxes and fees. Cruise insurance (minus the cost of the policy) covered all other costs .
  8. According to the T&C that everyone is quoting, there is a second condition to the notification process: "To qualify for the future cruise credit or refund, you must notify the Company via telephone at 877-665-4655 within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving the test result and no later than noon on the date of embarkation and provide verification satisfactory to the Company of test results administered by providers other than those retained by the Carrier" Besides the notification (your phone calls), did you also provide verification (documentation) of the test results from the doctor? If you did not provide the acceptable verification of the test results before noon of embarkation, you did not meet all the conditions necessary to be given a FCC or refund.
  9. "Maybe?" Why not "perhaps" or "what if" or any other words used to force a hypothetical conjecture on a situation where there is no proof... I doubt anyone can give you numbers because the sexual orientation is not a factor or one that is being tracked.
  10. Toddler tantrum confines itself to a certain age when boundaries on behavior are being explored. A "hissy fit" (a "wobbly," to match the spelling of behaviour) can be thrown by any age or gender by those who were never taught that temper tantrums are not an effective way to manipulate a situation to get their way.
  11. For anyone who is questioning if I watched the entire video, I did. Including their rant where one of them stated that they would not recommend anyone cruising MSC. They ranted about how unfair it was not to be allowed to film, hinted that it could be retaliation, whined that everyone else takes pictures. All in all, a good hissy fit. Somehow, them soldiering through to post a very short positive review doesn't negate the ranting. It was like throwing a bottle of perfume in the cesspool. The stench still hangs in the air.
  12. Kudos to MSC for preserving the right of the other passengers to enjoy their cruises. And what is the true story? In several places they whine that they are paying customers and in others they are indignant that they were invited on a free cruise to film their vlog. And talk about vindictive - the more they protest their "innocent" behavior and telling people not to travel on MSC, the more they prove the reason they were told to stop filming.
  13. No need to carry cell phones around and trying to message each other. All the following worked well for years before cell phones (and still are effective): The cabins have telephones where one can call another cabin and leave a message. There is also the tried and true method of a note placed on the cabin door or placed under the door. There is also meeting up at a set time and location to talk and make plans (or the random encounters around the ship also work).
  14. The family involved already had attracted my attention because of their behavior in joining the line (it was for higher end rooms and loyalty members that some of us were directed to because the line was short) and their seemingly taking their time to actually decide to go through the scanning line. Then once all the family except the one member who lingered behind the rest to walk through the body scanner continued to delay everyone else in claiming their belongings, my immediate reaction was to look for the family group and yelled for security to stop their casual walk by the next port person employee. They were far enough away that I couldn't see my pocketbook, but as they were returned to the security line, the mother "discover" the daughter had my purse. She tried to claim her daughter had taken it from the belt because she thought it was her mother's. Nope - didn't buy it and once the other security line employees nodded in agreement in my statements about their behavior, they quickly took them away.
