I'm also having difficulties getting them to honor their offer for air change reimbursement. It's honestly disappointing, but not surprising.

CCL would not refund my lost airfare even though the amount was only $85 pp and the cancellation was entirely caused by CCL. Not happy. 

.....

If I read the terms correctly, the current offer is only good for bookings made directly with Princess. Any booking using an outside TA does not qualify. Is this correct?

I would love a Pitbull night.  Or Taylor Swift.  Or any music from this millennium.  Better to dance to.  And I'm turning 60 next year.  

 

If you look at the sailaway parties, that's the music that's playing and a lot of people are dancing or trying to.  

When you are a true top 40 music fan, you stay current on all the new hits, not just oldies.

 Disco is dead.  

Yeah. Disco night club had all been phased out on cruise ships. So should the 70's disco songs. It's 2023. Bring on the Swiftie parties.

That is an email address to send your receipts to, not a website to visit. Plus if you used that exact email address in your post it is wrong. You should be using airreimbursements@carnival.com

Good advice. Thanks.

In my book, 50 searched with nothing found is a 0% success rate. Only in government is 0% success considered acceptable.

This is precisely what prevention & deterrence are all about. Nil drug finding means the practice is working and meeting its target.

I was on Dec 2 sailing. If anyone knows how I can apply for reimbursement of my nonrefundable air ticket from Carnival, please assist.

The link airreimbursrments@carnival.com mentioned in the letter took me to a Reimbursement Form that has nothing to do with refund of airline ticket. This form also has no option for attachment  of supporting documentation which is a requirement mentioned in the letter. Am I looking at the wrong place? Is there another reimbursement form I should be using? Any insight on this would be much appreciated.

It's not just prior to boarding or during the boarding process anymore.  Now the dogs stay on board for the entire cruise.  We were on the Venezia out of New York for 21 days and ran into security with the dog multiple times in different areas of the ship.

I like what I am seeing.

FYI, not all TAs deal with MSC. 

Being intentionally late to an appointment or dinner reservation is rude.

Kind of short sighted and single minded attitude. Cruise ship visits not just support port area businesses, they also generate tax revenues to fund other public services and projects that benefit local residents, provide employments to cruise ship related spinoff industries and attract investments into the area.  Environmental concerns can be managed through cooperation between cruise lines and local government authorities. 

Go to Youtube. It has some 2023  Brilliance of the Seas Alaska videos.

If companies really wanted to save money and become more profitable, they would outsource their CEO and CFO.

They certainly do that with ship captains and senior officers. Most are non Americans.

My business with my PCC is exclusively by email when contact is needed.

 Email is the way to go. Gives you a paper trail to go back to if things go wrong. 

Relatively safe but beware of street drug dealers trying to sell you drugs.

Ocean Liquor Market is located in a strip mall directly across the street from cruise pier. 233 N Harbor Blvd A, San Pedro.

Congratulations Bee. 2.2k views in two days. You are a hot commodity and on a roll.

I booked a fully paid refundable room at Hotel Royal in Long Beach for my Dec 2023 cruise. I cancelled my reservation in June 2023. Hotel cancellation policy states full refund if canceled within 3 days of arrival. Hotel acknowledged my cancellation through email and advised my deposit refund would be forthcoming. To date, no refund is received and Hotel would not reply to my follow up emails and text enquiries. Phone calls to the Hotel are always forwarded to an answering machine. Is there any government department and consumer protection agency in Long Beach  I can file a complaint besides BBB? Thanks.

Just imagine how many extra pounds you are going to gain by the time you disembark in Seattle. Don't think I can do it.

Not a good sale given HA had a $1 deposit promo just a few months ago.

Closed for business means closed. No one said it was abandoned. Sort of like when Walmart is closed. Geeze you just can't  admit when you are wrong about something.

I agree. If it is not safe to get to the embassy, it is in no position to offer any assistance or service to anyone.

We shuttled in Juneau. Was on Brilliance last month.

From what I remember, shuttle is not free and costs $5 pp for a day pass. Correct?

There is no question Haiti is a failed state. When Haiti government recently pleaded for foreign armed intervention to restore order, not a single country in the world would touch the mess except Kenya. Kenya seriously?
