Saint Greg's Venezia Transatlantic May 29, 2023
detroitavant replied to Saint Greg's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Subscribed! We're going on this cruise in a few weeks, we were originally were going to be on the Magic with the same itinerary that you had before but got caught up in the whole Venezia switch. We ended up waiting 4 months for our new cabin to find out we got downgraded from our OS to an obstructed JS after Carnival decided to categorize all suites on the Venezia as OS. At this point we're ready just to go on a vacation and I'm excited to see what you find on the ship. We haven't booked any specialties yet. -

Good catch, I was reading too fast and didn't realize you talked about both ships. -

It's interesting that the bungee jump was open on the Indy, it was closed the entire trip pre-covid. -
We booked a specific cabin on the Magic and are still waiting for an assignment on the Venezia. Reads TBD still and our TA has said that Carnival is telling them it's now a guarantee. I think I mentioned it before, but we had an OS w/4 passengers and Venezia only has two cabins with that configuration and no cabins classes above OS so I don't see how any upgrade would be possible. No one can tell me what happens if we show up with a guarantee and nothing is available. I still have time left on my cancellation dates, but I'm wondering if anyone else is still waiting. If nothing else, bumping this back up to the top so everyone else is aware of how Carnival is handling this situation in case anyone else gets in a similar situation.

It's kind of a complicated situation, this is the third rebooking from covid for various reasons so I'd like to keep the OBC we got from covid. I haven't been able to find anything equivalent for price yet to request a switch. Plus I used AARP gift cards that I may or may not still to process a refund and I'd be stuck with Carnival anyways. We have an ocean suite with 4 passengers. Venezia has exactly two cabins that match this and since it's an ocean suite, there's no upgrade that I see possible. I think there are about half the total suites on Venezia (18?) compared to the Magic (40?).

I collect license plates and half my fun in ports is trying to find them. R is a rental car in St. Martin. The French side uses the Euro style plates, I managed to find two of that style on the Dutch side when we were there. -
Our TA told us that we're now a guarantee. Problem is that there are half the number of suites on this ship as there were on magic. For our situation, the new ship only has two cabins of this class that can hold four passengers on the new ship. There isn't anything that would be an upgrade on this ship from suite either. I feel like Carnival is waiting to see if there are cancellations. I'm afraid we're going to show up and get downgraded with just an apology. No idea how a refund would look given that this is a reschedule from a covid cruise using a FCC. TA at this point just keeps telling me it's guaranteed that we'll get our class, I just can't see how it's possible given the actual differences between the two ships.

Appreciate all the work you put into these posts, takes me away from what we're dealing with. We had planned on going to see a NYFC game before our cruise and it turned out they play in Yankee Stadium. I was able to watch PSG play Roma in Comerica Park and soccer in a baseball stadium is not ideal. Latest news I found was that they were in talks to build a new stadium next to Citi Field.
