I'd rather have them keep me safe then worry about what I should be getting for missing a port, staying out longer, etc...

exactly what I was trying to say....I do not want something from them now, we all just wish they could have handled things better then.

I did not mean to incite a riot here, I thought this was a place to put your opinions. I am bowing out now, you all can have at it.

God Bless and Praying for all in Sandy's path.

Yes, I understand that there are a lot of what ifs. I do not buy that we could not find somewhere to dock between Key West and Savannah. There are several cruise ports and a lot of ships out of port.

I do not expect to be compensated for the weather, but I do expect that the cruise line put people's welfare above the bottom line. Most of us that are first time cruisers or first time with Carnival will never use their future discount. We would much rather had been treated with some respect and if we could not dock, at the least, explain that to us. Being told that you are perfectly safe while on your knees in front of a toilet when you are 3 miles from shore does not inspire a lot of trust or confidence.

Just off a week of misery on the Fascination. To be fair, no the hurricane is not their fault, but the way Carnival handled it is. 20% off of a cruise most first timers will never take is a joke. We were off the coast of Jax and could see lights, but could we dock....no. If we docked a day early the rocking and puking would have stopped, but the casino would of had to close. They were not about to let that happen, so it was money over people, as usual.
