So are you looking for sympathy that you didn't act sooner? Southwest has been having problems for a good week now. You had plenty of time to make alternate arrangements, be it book another airline, drive, take a train, hitchhike, whatever. If you didn't purchase insurance to cover an event such as this, tough luck. Take some personal responsibility. Southwest is refunding your transportation you booked with them, and giving you an additional $200. Carnival had no disruptions, it's not their issue. Southwest doesn't sell cruises, so why would they refund you a cruise? smh
