Something else you want to verify is whether or not Mexico will be on Daylight savings time then or not since you mentioned that this is for March 30th. Obviously the US is on DST but confirm that Mexico is also on DST. I remember reading a few weeks ago that Mexico switches to DST at a different date than the US.

When you do online check in you can set up each person's account separetly with individual credit cards assigned to each individual.

I always like to have confirmations for everything I order so I would suggest you do a screen print of the redemption history that Barclay's mentions and take it with you. Just as an fyi, you get a better redemption value using your points for statement credit versus OBC.

I think the reason there are no trashcans around is because they actually have to sort the trash. For example separate food from paper and plastic etc. They instead have the crew bus the tables and pick up dishes etc. so that it's all sorted correctly and then it's either incinerated (paper), reclycled, and the food is ground up into fish food. Even in your cabin the steward has to sort the trash when they clean your room.

Are you sure it's OBC? Because many of the casino offers may include a limited amount of OBC but the majority is usually free play.

I'm pretty sure that once the refund was credited to your S&S account which created a credit to that account that Carnival will mail you a check and your Visa account will have no bearing on the refund so your dispute on the credit card will be a waste of time. You should instead be waiting on the mail for a refund check from Carnival. JMHO
