Rare Eli_6 Posted December 13, 2022 #51 Share Posted December 13, 2022 TA got off the phone with Carnival and they are swearing the cruise is still going forward. They are saying the ship is at "number of people" capacity so they can offer room upgrades even if all the rooms are not filled. That explains that, but that still doesn't explain why the cruise isn't showing up on any of the ports of call schedules. And it isn't like it is just ONE port it isn't appearing on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EllieinNJ Posted December 13, 2022 #52 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I decided to go up the food chain for some answers. First I emailed arlenebrown@carnival.com. She is head of customer service. If I don't hear anything back I will email Christine Duffy at cduffy@carnival.com. She is president. Maybe others want to email too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted December 13, 2022 #53 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Another thing I thought about: I was looking at the Jubilee TA about a month or two ago. The Jubilee sailing was off the website. I called and they said it was sold out. No way was that ship (with a 5,000+ capacity) on an 18-day TA to Galveston with a dozen sea days sold out a year in advance. I don't buy it. Celebration TA wasn't even sold out at the time and they were offering almost free cruises. Sure enough, they canceled the Jubilee TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more of us shake the tree, the more likely we get some news. The sooner the better. Let us know if you hear anything, I'll do the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted December 13, 2022 #56 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The conspiracy theorists won't like it, but the cruise was sold out as far as Carnival was concerned. Cabins were still being held by travel agents who were advertising last month they still had some cabins available at the original price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, why is the Pride not showing up on the port schedules for this sailing? When the Venezia is showing in some of those same ports a day later and the Pride is showing up on port schedules for later sailings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted December 13, 2022 #59 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I got good news on my flights! British airways said if I do have to cancel, I get all of my money and miles back minus a small fee...like $80 per person so $320 total. That's minor compared to the cost and miles we spent. They said I simply have to cancel 24 hours in advance. Obviously, I am not canceling the tix now, but relieved they are so flexible and I won't be out much money *IF* it does cancel. My husband is still off that time, though, so we will be taking some sort of vacation somewhere even if it cancels... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on Pride, at least one website still lists the May 28th sailing with limited cabin availability. Should Carnival cancel a cruise, they will typically reimburse for any non-refundable expenses, including airfare. On port schedules, are those official port schedules or third party sites?

CruiseDig is the one site where Pride has always shown up! Not sure why or how, but it doesn't show up on Mapper or many of the other ones. Best bet is to try and find the actual official port sites, but as said above, they aren't all available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaah! So everything actually may be okay, then. It may be that because the cruise is no longer showing up on Carnival's website, the third party websites have removed it from their schedule assuming that it is cancelled...even though that may not be the case. And the "official" port websites appear to only publish their schedules about 2-3 months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this website adds even more mystery because the Pride is on that website departing on the 29th when it is supposed to depart on the 28th (right? I am now so confused I don't even know anymore), but the Venezia isn't on it at all...and the Venezia is supposed to depart on the 29th. What the heck? I give up. Edit: Oh never mind.

jsglow Posted December 13, 2022 #74 Share Posted December 13, 2022 So here's my take. IF Carnival needs to cancel the sailing at a late date, TONS of folks are going to have non-refundable airfare. It makes zero business sense to not cover required airline cancelation expenses simply because of the absolute horrible publicity that would follow. I think Blerk was correct when he indicated that they had previously stepped up, as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
