They haven’t cancelled a cruise on 15th October, they have cancelled the one starting 10th October (which was the one I was supposed to be on). It wouldn’t be sailing a day later, it would be 6 days later - and if they can fit in a cruise sailing on 16th to 24th (when the first scheduled one is supposed to begin) then good luck to them. Nothing to stop the original 10th October people booking onto it. 😀

I know.  I said "if".

never been on carnival but have looked at going a few time’s from Florida. They aren’t very cheap though. 

 

I find them much cheaper than competitors. Depends on the cruise though I suppose.

 

We always wanted to a Disney Cruise but that is expensive!

oh gosh yes. I want a Disney cruise too but so priced out of that. 
 

its £1250 for 4 nights on carnival that we were looking at for May. 
 

only paid £950 for a week last year on p&o in May. 
 

don’t like to part with any more money than I need to but will have to do a cruise over there one day

Carnival is expensive in Europe, cheap in the US. That's how i see it.

They have a different image in the US, hence the pricing structure.

It's not that in my opinion.

 

Their market is americans so when they have European cruises, most passengers are flying to Europe to sail. This means it's customers with more money so Carnival up the price. Also it's an exclusive limited run itinerary and they need to get the costs covered.

I was always of the opinion that Carnival, in the US at least, was aimed very much at the younger party crowd, especially at Spring Break, and the pricing was geared to match that socio-economic demographic. 

30 years ago I would have been in my element. Nowadays I'm not so sure!

Is that a snobby way of saying it's for people on a budget? Haha

No, not at all. I'm saying that Carnival appeals to the younger generation (which is a good thing), and in general youngsters tend to have less money.

30 years ago I'd have loved to go on a Carnival cruise.

We're all on a budget, unless money's no object. Just that some people's budgets are larger than others. Nothing snobby about it. 😉

Indeed. I'm always amazed how people can afford to take three or 4 cruises a year, all in suites. But, if they can afford it, why not. Nothing snobby about it.

I see it as less for the younger crowd but more for the family fun kinda crowd. P&O is more subtle. It's for those who want to dine and relax, rather than party!

P&o is most definitely not for the party kind. 
 

but I’m weird and don’t do clubbing. Been once. Never again would I do that. 
 

I just like it’s nice laid back, and I love no cooking and washing up best

Sounds like a good summation.
