d-lite-n-cruisin Posted July 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Our school district is pushing back the start of the school year because of COVID. DD will now be in school 12 days longer. The cruise we had was planned for right after graduation. If we went she would miss last week of school and her graduation ceremony. Needless to say, this will not happen for us. We had two cabins booked. Wife and myself in one, DD and friend in the other. I know if we cancel we lose the $250 per cabin deposit. We have also made various payments toward each with gift cards and debit card. QUESTION: When I cancel, will the money, except for the deposits, ONLY be refunded to me or can I transfer them to another NEW booking we are making for August of 2021 to take it's place? Thank you in advance, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbglib Posted July 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) If I were you, I would call Carnival or your travel agent if you used one and ask. It seems I have heard of some who were even able to transfer the deposit, but I am not sure. Edited July 22, 2020 by mbglib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayGirl Posted July 22, 2020 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Also if you bought travel insurance, particularly an independent non carnival policy, see if it covers this situation For the non refundable part. I know the policy I purchased covers extension of the school year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance, everyone. You should be able to transfer everything but the deposit and as others have said quite possibly also the deposit. As a former school board member, I thank you for putting your daughter's schooling and graduation as a first prioroity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-lite-n-cruisin Posted July 24, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Final Update: Called and they did an itinerary/ship/date change and charged us $50 pp. Changed it to the August cruise out of Miami and all the monies were already there as it is the same booking number. Better than losing the $500 deposit, and waiting for the refunds. Also, she found us a $100 obc while she was at it per cabin. Overall...… very pleased with my experience. Thank you, everybody for your comments and suggestions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, everybody for your comments and suggestions. That's great, and the $100 OBC at least partially offsets the $50 charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
