I had a cabin for 5 booked on the Magic but it doesn't seem like the Venezia currently has that type of cabin configuration, so I'm still waiting to see how they're going to handle that.

skywalkr2 Posted November 29, 2022 #254 Share Posted November 29, 2022 One good news is all these deals Carnival has been sending me for Venezia. I now have 17 days booked over the next year for around $2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they can cover that for you. 5 seems like a lot but more the merrier. I have 2 cabins and Carnival has only assigned 1 waiting still on second cabin assignment don’t know how 1 of 2 can be assigned in a 2 room booking. Only next door will be excepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamericannn Posted November 30, 2022 #259 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Still nothing. On another note… they will be adding skyride to the Venezia. I guess they want it to have the same things that are on the Vista class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detroitavant Posted November 30, 2022 #262 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Our TA told us that we're now a guarantee. Problem is that there are half the number of suites on this ship as there were on magic. For our situation, the new ship only has two cabins of this class that can hold four passengers on the new ship. There isn't anything that would be an upgrade on this ship from suite either. I feel like Carnival is waiting to see if there are cancellations. I'm afraid we're going to show up and get downgraded with just an apology. No idea how a refund would look given that this is a reschedule from a covid cruise using a FCC. TA at this point just keeps telling me it's guaranteed that we'll get our class, I just can't see how it's possible given the actual differences between the two ships.

Go on Carnival.com and then click on “Explore” then click on “Our Ships’. Next select The Venezia and you can also click on ViSta. It has the cruise ships comparisons. When you click on the outdoor options it shows that vista already has the skyride but for Venezia it says “Coming Soon”. It also says Coming soon for Waterworks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a wrong approach they are taking if they are hoping for cancellations because people are still booking. Will have less options as times go by unless they are going to make suites unavailable for booking if anyone cancels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people wanted to get on the Cyber deal but could not. My original bookings were cheaper than the cyber or Black Friday deals so I am not angry about missing it.

I don't understand why your TA (or mine or anybody) who hasn't been assigned yet, can't just call and get a room! What are they doing? They have whole categories of rooms unavailable that still had plenty of rooms open the day before they took the Magic offline. Why aren't they letting people book those rooms and why won't they assign rooms that have an exact match from Magic to Venezia? This is the most bizarre, nonsensical thing I have ever seen. Rooms that don't match should be upgraded. Period. I was part of a ship swap some years back and none of this happened. By the time the ship was moved, I had a new room #. And in that case, I went from a booked grand scenic to a ship that didn't have those. So they moved me to a balcony. It was literally a day. I don't understand what they are doing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn it said coming soon when I checked. lol. I guess I looked in the wrong row. At least the Waterworks is coming which my kids will enjoy.

cruizinisthebest Posted December 2, 2022 #272 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Finally got our room swap done earlier, but only because my TA called and spoke to a supervisor. Same room type we had only on the lido deck, which is fine. Don't understand why it was like pulling teeth getting it done. Glad that's over. I honestly don't think anyone will get anywhere unless they call and are persistent. Good luck if you're still waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carnival is waiting on cancellations don't people need a room assignment before cancelling? I know 1 person in this thread has already said they are going to cancel for a Journey cruise at a cheaper cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
