Carnival is now allowing cancellations past January14th

[Old Fart Cruisers]

I was able to cancel for 1/29/22 & 2/6/22 with 100% refund to the original form of payment within three weeks.  It was quick and easy online using the link at the top of the page

I tried earlier this morning and it would have been 100% cancellation fee.  I don't know how far out they are extending this, but good to know it was finally an option.

I am scheduled for the Vista on 1/29. We are considering if we want to go forward. It's a tough decision

Thanks for posting. 👍

Thanks for sharing. My wife and I are starting to lean towards cancelling our February 5th sailing and if we can without penalty that helps.

I got: The information you submitted indicates that your cruise is scheduled to operate and is not eligible for a full refund. Normal cancellation fees will apply.

I just completed the form to cancel my 1/29 Panorama cruise.  On Carnival’s website it didn’t have anything to acknowledge the cancellation, but I did get an email confirming my request to cancel and saying their hard-working staff working from home are processing these many cancellation requests.

Checked our Feb. 12th cruise and got the same message.

They must be working on their system now.  I cancelled 1/29 & 2/06 with no problems.  Our travel companions cancelled 1/29, but then when they tried to cancel 2/6, they got the message:

Earlier today I was getting the fee message. Now it's a full refund. Mardi Gras 1/29, tough decision because it's already only 3 ports and we're likely to lose at least one. Wish they'd throw an OBC offer to make it more tempting to stay.

This was mentioned on FB although nothing official as yet, but I have cancelled the Horizon on 22nd and had email to confirm the request has been submitted. Huge relief as thinking of cancelling but was concerned on whether would get FCC, so this has made my day.

I had to try twice for my 1/29 Vista cruise for it to give me the option to cancel or fcc

When I requested cancellation for my 1/29 Panorama the only option given was full refund to original form of payment.

I canceled my 3/20 cruise out of Tampa early this morning with the 100% refund. My friend just tried to cancel his for the same cruise and it says "Normal cancellation fees apply".  hmmm

[gnegron22]

We just rescheduled our Feb 5 with no problems.  We where offered a 100% refund but we choice to    reschedule not to lose ate OBC

I was able to submit the request to cancel our 1/1/5/22 sailing on MG for a full refund. Unfortunately we tested positive for COVID, but I haven't been able to get through to Carnival on the phone.  The online form was very easy. 

[Old Fart Cruisers]

I don't think Carnival can be accused of being consistent🥴

We are on that cruise as well.  We snagged a suite for $500/pp.  Not sure what to do.

On another forum someone posted a screenshot from their phone that they couldn't cancel.  But I could cancel the same cruise from my PC just about the same time.  So I'd suggest if you aren't able to cancel from your phone - try to do it on a regular computer.

I am holding out on my 2/26 Panorama Cruise. Perhaps it wont be crowded.

[canes20]

Checked my Jan 27 Elation and the cancel for full refund was there but not cancelling as of now.

I'm envious of the easy cancellation. When I canceled Radiance for mid-Jan, I spent an hour getting a rep, then another hour while she got approval for a full refund. So I imagine someone just decided that their phone system would be completely broken if they didn't try to make the refunds automatic. Their customer service is also US-based, so they'll also probably be dealing with omicron absences and difficulty hiring also.

I cancelled 2 cruises on my PC.  Friends cancelled the first week but it wouldn't let them cancel the second week.  I tried it on my PC and still can't cancel their second week.  Same cruise same PC🤥
