Review summary

72 hours prior to sailing, 48 hours befit our flight-either Carnival or Cheap cancelled our reservation, while I was mid process booking beverage packages. Also cancelled our 'fast to the fun' pass..which was not able to be re-instated. Was on the phone for over 8 hours the following 2 days, no sleep.. With no ownership from either party for the cancellation. Listened for more than 2 hours to 2 grown men arguing over subpoenas and legalities, none of which have me answers. Cookies & cider from Carnival and $75 from cheap cruises was the ultimate correction from 2 multi-million dollar companies, oh and a 'pending' discount on my NEXT booking... That will never occur. The ship was lovely, food and drinks endless, excursion choices great and entertainment wonderful. 

No one should have to endur this much stress planning a family vacation, book a year in advance, within 48 hours of flying out.

You can see this is an older ship and staterooms need 'freshened up'

Sorry that happened to you, but glad you made the best of it. I have to plan for our family of six, so there is stress with that alone. I would freak out if we had to all fly....

I use a travel agent, never over charged, never have to worry, always an on board credit waiting on me.

I am too afraid to book through one of those kind of companies. We always use a travel agent.

Did you book with an outside party? That is where your problem was.
