Bridgeview Posted May 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Received a call last night from Carnival to tell me that my booking on the 7th June cruise has been cancelled due to contactors coming on board. I was in an aft wrap so they really look after the workers!! :(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in an aft wrap so they really look after the workers!! :(:( Maybe they need to figure out the list problem, or finish tucking the wires up into the ceiling, or take the bio hazard bags off the urinals, or replace the plywood with real decking material at the tops of some of the stairways. Hope they compensated you appropriately, including airfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awval999 Posted May 30, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Im surprised they are cancelling expensive Aft balconies instead of the guarenteed inside rooms that were booked for like ~$500 during the Friends and Family sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEBnGAB Posted May 30, 2013 #19 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Carnival is paying for you to take an NCL cruise? If they got a refund for their current cancelled cruise, I would think they can spend it on another cruise...regardless of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xostacylee Posted May 30, 2013 #22 Share Posted May 30, 2013 They will refund cruise, airfare & pre/post cruise hotels plus a free future cruise. I'd almost take the cancelled cruise with that kind of deal. I mean it's terrible because you're looking forward to it, but can you book another cruise that week somewhere else?

DEBnGAB Posted May 30, 2013 #23 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yea thats true.. I thought they got a cruise credit Sounds like they got that too for a future cruise (w/CCL) and then "cash in hand" refund for the cancelled cruise. Glad they were at least able to find something else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise, J.D. Posted May 30, 2013 #24 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Wow, you only had a one week notice! No wonder they threw in a free cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanteS Posted May 30, 2013 #25 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Luckily got on the Norwegian Jade out of Venice on the 8th:):) I think that's awesome and you have another CCL credit to use. Maybe you can use that credit to get back on the Sunshine. Have a great time on your cruise and I'd love to read a review if you do one. I'm looking forward to sailing both NCL and RCI soon.
