bigfig63 Posted March 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2014 My coworker, who has booked the Nov. 6th cruise on the Victory out of Miami this year, received notice that their cruise is being cancelled due to the ship being chartered for that week. They booked 10 cabins and already paid airfare Detroit to Miami. Has anyone else heard anything about this? They are being offered to rebook out of Tampa but the non refundable airfare was purchased already. They were offered a $25 per room credit. Usually not a big deal but to change airfare is going to cost much more then $25. Anyone heard similar or had similar experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobe1 Posted March 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Did they get trip insurance? I'm not sure if trip insurance would cover this circumstance, but if they did, it would be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2kids Posted March 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2014 When my sailing was cancelled due to a charter they offered to pay nonrefundable travel arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloAnnT141927 Posted March 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Me too! We were booked for our WEDDING cruise and while we aren't technically cancelled, we can not book the remaining cabins we need to. And that $25 OBC is kind of a lousy peace offering in my opinion. They aren't really doing anything to help anyone out with this besides a lousy I'm sorry here's $25 in OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlscruise2011 Posted March 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 28, 2014 This happened to me back in 2011 when our Victory Cruise ended up being the Kiss Cruise. Carnival offered to pay the fee for the cancellation charge from the airlines if we had to switch weeks. We couldn't change weeks so switched to another ship and one less day so Carnival ended up paying us for our hotel rooms for the extra night instead. We were also put into a Jr. Suite at no additional charge since it was the only balcony rooms available on the Imagination since we had balconies booked on the Victory.

Not like it was only a month or two away. Not sure what you mean by "not technically cancelled" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
