Since they reversed it maybe the ban really was for scrapes on the desk!!!

It's nice of Carnival to lift the ban but I seriously doubt if the family will want to travel on another Carnival Cruise.

Another good example of "money talks, BS walks"....

 

Big shot insurance guy pulls strings.........

[SenatorsFan]

Yup. Anyone who thinks there wasn't more to this story is incredibly naive.

[hoop4321]

don't consider myself naive, but honestly.....if carnival had a leg to stand on they would not have removed the ban. They would have come out with the "real" reason to counter the negative publicity. Why is it that we will defend to the death companies we frequent who don't really give a crap about us.....they love our bank accounts....but not us.

They don't want bad publicity, what company does? I just think it had a lot more to do with than a chip on a counter.

If it did then Carnival wouldn't have lifted the ban....but I agree, very wierd indeed!!

[ManyMore]

I can't imagine any company imposing a life time ban on a family for a coupe of scratches... I mean sh*t happens. I wouldn't cruise them again either if I were them... but I'm not... so I will! In 2 weeks! lol

If Carnival accused me of incidental scrapes then placed a life time ban I would honor than ban and NEVER EVER cruise with them again. I'm glad this family went to the press to get their story out. How ridiculous.

Are you being sarcastic again? :confused:

Methinks someone on board overeacted without the facts.

 

Carnival should also throw in a free cruise for the family.

Come on, get real. You can't really believe that, can you?

[wanderingjew]

Can you imagine if this passenger was head of an online travel agency instead of travel insurance he could tell his agents to steer traffic to non ccl ships if no request was made for a ccl ship

the negative publicity was already done, with much speculation of something more serious being done by the guy and his family.....now that they have rescinded the ban, it makes them look foolish for a knee jerk reaction. Rescinding the ban, in my opinion makes Carnival look guilty, not the guy.

Just another of your gratuitous posts, G'ma

 

and to quote from SaltyDingo on the other thread:

 

These days, anyone can start a company and call themselves CEO. It does not mean anything, except the guy calling himself that has an inferiority complex.

 

Y'all can't have it both ways, so which is it.

 

Actually it is neither.

 

Carnival (dare I say this) just screwed up big time with this fellow and his family.

 

Two more quotes, (from the article):

 

MIAMI, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Carnival Cruise Lines said it has lifted a lifetime ban it had imposed on a family because of scrapes on a dresser in their cabin.

 

So they did indeed impose this lifetime ban for scrapes - ridiculous. But it is certainly gracious of them to do so after the guy went public with their stupidity.

 

Senior management wants to take a look at it to find out what happened and if anything internally needs to be clarified," Carnival spokeswoman Jennifer de la Cruz said.

You think something needs to be clarified? Of course it does, like how to use that stuff between your ears and make "intelligent" decisions.

good points

I wouldn't. :eek:

 

I have to say that I'm in shock over this. It was SO bizarre that I really thought it was made up.

I totally agree.
