Help with a gift certificate!

[xxjulzxx]

The other guest in my cabin cancelled on our Sept. 3rd cruise about 2 weeks before we were due to leave. I called Carnival and cancelled him. I paid for his cruise, etc. They told me to write a letter. I did..and got a certificate for a future cruise. Here comes the kicker though..

 

You have to send them a request of some cruises you would be interested in going on. At most, 2 weeks before the crusie they will let you know if you have been approved for this sailing. Has anyone else been through this?

 

Who can plan a cruise in 2 weeks? How can you set up the other person in your cabin if you're not sure you're going or not?

How am I supposed to arrange babysitters, travel arrangements, time off work, etc. not knowing if I'm actually going to get to go or not?!

 

Anyone have any insight on this?

Thanks!

Feel lucky you received anything for a cancelled passenger, usually you get nothing.

 

I think i would call Carnival, it may just be a typo, i would think, it is supposed to say 2 months.

 

Let us know.
