ginger123snaps Posted October 23, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2020 We have a 7 night cruise booked on Mardi Gras for March 2021. Final payment for this cruise would be December 14th according to pre-covid contract. I have to cancel prior to this date to get the full refund. Does anyone know if the number of days to get a full refund has shortened from 90 prior to sale date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add on at least 3 extra days if the rate you booked has a refundable deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke gs Daddy Posted October 25, 2020 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Our final date is soon approaching. If we pay and we do not sail do we get a full refund? Not early saver. Thanks. Edited October 25, 2020 by Luke gs Daddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not early saver. Thanks. If Carnival cancels your cruise then yes. Generally, a FCC or a FULL refund has been offered for cruises that have been cancelled by them. Depending of what "fare" you booked under would determine your refund, if you cancelled before or after your final payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted October 28, 2020 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2020 On the Carnival site it shows our Mardi Gras final payment as Dec 6 (for a March 6th sailing). I'm really on the fence about this. Slightly better than even odds that I'll cancel as it stands now. I should probably take the money and invest in CCL stock instead, LOL.

I would recommend that did you book directly thru Carnival? We didn't book through Carnival. I always book the refundable rate so I am good there. Would really like to sail on our Mardi Gras cruise March 14th. Final payment is mid December for us. As it stands I would not feel comfortable going. I would love to be able to make that decision 30 days prior to sale date without penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
