My original cruise was cancelled back in March due to COVID19. After about 3 months, around June, Carnival finally issued me a partial refund and the rest as a Future Cruise Credit (FCC). I booked a new Cruise for March 2021. Paid the $50 deposit and the FCC was applied. Currently owe about $300 as final payment due in December.

Now, with the current COVID19 situation being what it is, I’m wondering if my Cruise will still happen or be cancelled again. With this uncertainty, I’m wondering if I can request/demand that Carnival refund me all my money and just cancel my booking? I know it’s still 5 months away, but I would have to request a week vacation from work and plan accordingly (babysitter, pet sitter, etc...).

At this point, I can take that money and put it towards another vacation (not a cruise). Has anybody been successful in getting Carnival to refund them and not just issue a FCC?

Thanks

Thank you all for the replies and suggestions on the price protection. Going to look into it.

Going on the 7-Day Western Caribbean cruise out of Tampa this coming weekend. Been looking at the offered excursions through Carnival but was wondering if booking locally once at the port of call was a better option as far as pricing goes.

Should I go ahead and book the excursion(s) through Carnival?
