You do not lose your deposit.

 

There is a cancellation fee of $100 pp.  the balance, in the OP's case $700 is issued as a FCC to use on another sailing

 

 

Thanks, that is what I thought it would be. Just wanted to make sure because things change.

I am considering booking a cruise that requires $900 deposit(which is non-refundable). If I cancel prior to final payment,  does this mean I will lose the whole $900 or does it mean I  will lose  $100pp and the rest can be used  toward  another  cruise? 

Also,  there was a statement  that said  if I found a lower price within 48 hours RC would honor the price. Does that mean prior to final payment, they will not adjust  my price if I see that the fare has dropped?

Hard question to answer. We were successful in transferring our OBC to our most recent cruise 2 different times. Several variables. My best advice would be to call your TA/PVP or call Carnival if you don't have one. As always, YMMV. Good luck! 

Yes, I have an email in to my  pvp, just thought someone here might know.

So I have funds still out there from a Carnival canceled cruise with the $600 OBC. Will they let me book one of these cheaper cruises with those funds and keep the $600 OBC?

The new cruise is cheaper than the canceled cruise so what happens to the overage?

The terms of the new cruise says must pay in full and that the full amount is non-refundable. If I am not able to go, do I lose out on the whole thing or will I get an FCC for some of it?

I am hoping they will extend the dates out further. I am having a hard time trying to fit in dates to move cruises or FCC's to.

You should be able to. Just wait till the January protocols are announced and hope the refund option is still available. 

Great! My cruise isn't until the 23 so will wait until January before I do anything. Thanks again!

Take the refund. 

The cruise I have booked is booked with almost all FCC's so I don't think I can, or can I?

Careful with the 48 hours, it’s more like 3 days out. The apply by date may still be April but the use by date should be one year. 

Thank you! So instead of using it by Dec, 2022 I would need to use it by Jan. 2023? I was hoping to apply it to something mid 2023. 

Thanks everyone. I just started using a PVP recently. I have emailed, but no response yet. Maybe he is off on Friday and Saturday?

If we cancel a cruise within the 48 hours of the cruise date, say in January, will we rcv a FCC that needs to be used within  one year or will it still need to be booked by April 30, 2022 and used by Dec. 31, 2022?

At least for awhile, we have been able to move funds from one cruise to another with no penalty. Has anyone experienced this lately?

Yep was breeze. Both my cabin stewards were great. And having 7 mostly unrelated people at a shared order I'm sure was difficult for her. Guy next to me his medium rare brunch steak was burnt and his eggs over cooked. Next lady probably got his as hers was rare and red and she ordered well done. They werent related and had cut into their food and eaten some so couldnt change.

I figure there are lots of inexperienced people. I would not have been happy about the water incident. I have never had a large bottle of water brought to me without asking. 

When we were on the Vista at brunch, I requested double crispy bacon and my husband did as well. I got two pieces of limp raw(to me) and hubby got none. The waiter insisted hubs did not order any. My eggs were hard as rocks (not even close to over easy). However, I did get the rye toast.

The Vista cruise is why I had canceled all cruises thru end of the year, RCL & CCL)

I had a weak moment when I rcvd one of those cheaper promos. Not a $25 but did get a better price than normal.

I had multiple incidents with dining and gave them a low rating on feedback. Taken alone no biggie but way too many. Your comment about signing for water brought one to mind I'd forgotten about. They brought a large bottle of water to my dinner table and i said no thanks, I'd like a Pepsi. I said again no thanks. Before I could leave I had to sign a slip zeroing out the bottle of water. I told the waiter he was being too pushy and I shouldn't have had to sign for a refund for a bottle of water.

 

Same 5 days for brunch I ordered double bacon and got 2 tiny pieces. I said to her I asked for double bacon. I expected her to say oh ok I'll get some, but in front of a whole shared table she insisted that I had received a double order of bacon. When she said that the whole table cracked up. Became the joke for b2bers from then on, oh you got double bacon. She also had many orders wrong. It took a hour, just was mixed up orders and confusion. Everyone at the table could see those teensy pieces of bacon. Good thing you got double or they have to cut the piece in half another said. 

 

Anyway ... my bottle of water they tried to force on me after I said no thanks politely they charged it to my account and I had to sign for not wanting it. Dining service needed a lot of training imo. Didnt affect my cruise but some acted like they never waited tables before. It wasn't just about perks. Service was poor. 

Uh oh, I am afraid to ask you which ship you were on. I am getting on the Breeze next Saturday. 

We have taken our grandkids (and their parents) on Carnival and Royal. When given a choice, the grands always choose Carnival. They are little foodies and think the food on Carnival is much better. I think it is mostly due to the better options outside of the MDR and I agree. MDR on both seem to be pretty much the same on each line. 

What the older girls prefer on RCL is that the decor is nicer, but food outweighs that so they always choose carnival.

It would be interesting to see how much OBC a TA might provide. That would likely help with a couple excursions.

We just got off Liberty yesterday and the balcony smokers were in full force - makes me SO angry.   I don't understand why some people don't think the rules apply to them.   🤬

Do you remember if the deck 4 smoking was on port or starboard side or both? How far down was the designated area?

You can move it out as far as the schedule displays.

Thanks! The way I am reading it, I need to move it by Oct. 31. Is that correct? 

So it looks like I am able to move my sail date to a different ship/sail date if I do it prior to Oct. 31. How far out in the future can I go? Can I go into 2023? It does not involve a FCC, just a deposit paid by cc, although I did do a L & S.

There is an outdoor deck on Adventure on deck 5. Is that a smoking area or a place people go to get a smoke? Or, could it be a outside deck for the crew?

Where are the outdoor smoking areas on Liberty? I want to avoid being above that area in hopes of not smelling it while on my balcony.

cabernet

Does Royal serve this wine and if so is it under the $13 diamond voucher limit?

Thank you!

Does anyone have an idea when European itineraries will open up for 2023?

I rcvd one as well. The letter also says that book by April 22 and sail by Dec 2022 OR 1 year from the original date.

If I cancel a Feb. 2022 cruise, does that mean I have a year from Feb. 2023 instead of De 2022?
