Carnival Valor in December- 1st cruise - shortened to 3 days

[Lindas 1st cruise]

We are taking our 1st cruise (30th anniversary) on the Carnival Valor on December 11. We were very disappointed to learn they have shortened the cruise from 4 to 3 days. Some people have said it does not matter, since we are only losing the 'Day at Sea', but that is the part I was looking forward to! Others have also said since Carnival is refunding part of the price, and giving an onboard credit, that it is well worth it, and especially since this is our 1st cruise. We have SO MANY questions! Does anyone have an opinion as to what they think we should do? I hate to cancel, as we have had this booked for almost a year. Thanks!
