The others don't get the option of still enjoying their vacation. So it's not just 50%, it's 50% plus the cost of your cruise back if you cancel. It does really suck for those with flight/hotel plans, but for me it's a great deal! We'll get $800 between the 4 of us to spend, an extra night of fun, and a good discount on our next cruise! It's less compensation when you get no vacation and a 50% coupon. The shift of dates would've been a major hassle and the point is...our cruise was cancelled. They can spin it anyway they want, but we booked a cruise leaving on 6/29 and going to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel and Carnival cancelled it. We should get the 100% just like everyone else. Maybe some think the idea of 3 straight sea days to get somewhere that should take just one...on a partially functional, depressed ship is a good time...but we don't.

I guess differing points of view. To me it's a schedule change and I'm not worried about it. I'm excited to get onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're not fans of having to scramble at the last minute after months of planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last cruise was derailed by a hurricane. First, the itinerary changed from Turks, Freeport and HMC to all New England ports. Then it switched to staying in port at NYC for the whole time. I got on the phone and was able to switch to a later cruise date. Everyone was like "Oh, you should have stayed with the original..we had the best time in NYC" Um, no. I wanted Caribbean, not a city that I can drive to in 3 hours. I am sorry, I'm sure the disappointment is overwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the dates shifted and the ports have changed, your cruise was essentially cancelled and they moved you to a different one. I was really shocked that they were even offering the 100% future cruise voucher for those that were cancelled. That seems like a first as far as I can remember. I believe on the Triumph repairs they were just offering 25%. But someone else may be able to give more information on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricew001 Posted June 20, 2019 #31 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Very generous but we'd have issues. My husband is a solo artist and has dates he'd not be able to miss. My work is extremely strict about vacation time and I don't have back up for most of my work so that would be a problem. We also fly and arrange pet sitters. We were on a re-routed Cuba cruise and had to change it because no thanks to Nassau as a port. The cruise we choose was a week earlier and a day longer. I was amazed at how much I had to change to make that happen! Thankfully I hadn't booked airfare or hotel yet. I saw one girl post that she had her wedding planned for the canceled cruise. That would be so disappointing but things do happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
