What NEW small changes would you like to see?
ARcruisin2 replied to staceyglow's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
yes! I always used to use the calendar view option...but lost the link when my computer crashed. Is that still a thing? -
Any idea why cruises to Australia are so cheap?
ARcruisin2 replied to MisterOJ2's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I wonder if it's showing that it's cheapest if you live in Australia, or if it's incentive to offset airfare to tempt US residents to jump onboard? -

Question about points from Carnival credit card
ARcruisin2 replied to jeanandmark's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Agree it would be nice if it were a Carnival Corp all-brands card, so that you could get the double points for booking and the higher point to $$ rate when you apply to your purchases for any of their family of brands . -

as note: they are not looking for a refund - they cruised, enjoyed themselves and were trying to book another cruise, when all this from 7yrs ago came to light.

So if I understand correctly - you paid travel agent, travel agent paid Carnival...but then did a charge back. I'm betting the agent did this with more than just you and then either got caught and banned, then skipped with everyone's money. And you and Carnival are paying the price for it. Maybe you can ask your credit card company to provide in writing that you paid travel agent and did not get charge back credit to your card. Then maybe reach out to John Heald with all the information and see if he can help. I bet they can see if there were multiple instances with that agent. Maybe if you offer to pay in full up front the first time you sail just to prove good faith, they'll be more open to working with you. good luck!

Question for those who have been on the Mardi Gras
ARcruisin2 replied to Id rather be diving's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Glad to hear that it is no longer a problem. I do recall on one of our earliest cruises, that when we would come back on board mid-afternoon from port day food options were very limited - but we found a place serving tasting plates with new options for a new venue on some future ships. -
Since it's just family going, I would suggest getting folks together in person or on zoom to discuss. Ask them to come prepared with at least 1) if they are interested 2)what dates they are already committed 3)how much lead time they need to get off from work. Tell everyone up front, no hard feelings if you can't go, but we wanted to give you the opportunity and would love to celebrate the occasion with you. That will give you a feel for who's really interested and how far to plan out. You'll never please or accommodate everyone, but hopefully you can find the sweet spot. 🙂 I'm actually glad you said each will have to pay their own way, because if the couple paid and someone didn't show up, that could cause long-term relationship damage. Also, I've read stories on here on difficulties being the coordination person. I would suggest once the date is set, call a Carnival PVP, or a travel agent to help choose a cruise with cabins available close together. Then give contact information to family and tell them it's their responsibility to confirm and pay directly. - If there are enough cabins needed to book as a group(8 i think) you can ask about group perks and discounts.
