Same thing happened to us,, but we spent $7,000 on our 7 day Southern Caribbean Cruise.. and got stuck in the freaking hull by the engines.. Thank God it was the storm of the Century and we were moved to another cabin only because the whole ship was like a ghost ship... and we knew it. But that is not the main reason we will never book another Cruise with Carnival.. We paid $7,000 dollars for that trip already,, and then to be hounded for tips constantly throughout the whole 7 day cruise was an insult to us.. every show we went to, It was dont forget to tip this person or that person,, by the time the freaking trip was over we were so pissed off, the only person we tipped was our most excellent and hard working cabin boy. Not only were we hounded constantly for tips to the point of almost not enjoying this $7,000 dollar trip. but also being "what i want to say is tricked" into their excurtions on land, of whom by the way are also Not Cheap. we caught on the first time we were tricked. I dont know if it was just because of "The Storm of the Century" and the ship being nearly empty that they begged and pushed so hard to tip everyone.. but we thought it sucked. and will never ever give that Cruise line even a half a penny.. ive checked into other cruise lines that do not allow tipping on there already very expensive Cruises. and if and when we ever take another. It will be Seabourne. At least we know we wont be hounded everyday of our trip for a freaking tip! Oh and ask for a cabin up top.. YOU SUCK CARNIVAL!
