Review summary

Was supposed to get $200.00 in cash to spend aboard from but they did not tell me I needed to register for this 21 days prior to departure. There were no emails or notes saying you need to request this 21 days prior to the cruise. I found this out when I registered to sail a week before departure. Another bait and switch by ! Don't book a cruise thru !

who did you book through? I've been sailing carnival since 1999 and never heard of the cruise line giving you cash, 3rd party maybe

Sorry you were so disappointed with your cruise. Just curious, did you copy and paste your review summary? Your last two sentences seem to be missing some wording.
