To whom it may concern at Carnival Cruises. 11/22/2023 Below please see my itinerary. I planned this cruise for almost a year for myself, my two sisters and niece. The cruise started out good on the 13th of November. It was our first stop in Bahamas, and everything went down hill from there. First, I waited in line for over 40 minutes waiting for my...

For the last couple of years, I have been cruising on theme cruises and haven’t had the opportunity to cruise on my favorite cruise line, Carnival Cruise. Being economically friendly; Party Cruise; Guy’s Burger Joint and Self-Service Laundromats/Ironing Stations made Carnival Cruise my favorite cruise line. I have a concern regarding the diversity of...

Carnival Cruise Lines Unauthorized credit charge

I was set to sail to Morten Island QLD on the 1/10/23 to the 5/10/23 but was unable to travel as I (Kathryn Campbell) was to ill. My room mate (Donald Mcnee) still went on booking M8L3T7.

I also had a booking M8L3P6 for Carley Pittman and Thomas Campbell across the hall.

Considering I did not go, I cannot understand why I was charged $419.70.

I have contacted Carnival via the Carnival website with no reply to date.

Considering this is my first ever cruise I am very disappointed with the after sails service!

Claimed loss: $419.70

Desired outcome: refund of $419.70 to my credit card

Carnival Cruise Lines Shareholders benefit

I own 200 shares in carnival stock and requested On Board Credit (OBC) for an upcoming cruise. They approved the credit but it was for another persons reservation. I contacted them and then they said that I was requesting credit for a past sailing. Once again I sent them the information. They now say I have to go through Stockperks. I downloaded the app but did not continue when it requested my credentials to my investment company for financial data. I told them that I was not going to use the stockperks app, so they said they cannot process my request.

Last year they denied the OBC benefit because I already received a discount on the cruise price. It is always some excuse. I also cruise with the sister company Princess Cruises and there is never any problem getting my On Board Credit by emailing a copy my shares statement with the cruise Booking and dates.

Claimed loss: $50 OBC for the past denied cruise (sept 2022) and for the upcoming cruise (2/2024).

Desired outcome: Supply the shareholders benefit as requested without the hassle. Quit making it so difficult. Acknowledge the error of incorrect info on several correspondences.

Resolved due to inactivity on the Carnival Cruise part.

We are now working with stockperks- so much better than the Carnival cruise customer service, which has always been sub-optimal.
We still cruise with carnival occasionally because of the lower cost, but their notable food quality decline, poor and minimal entertainment, and lack of positive employee interactions, is making it much easier to pass up the "so called" deals. " You get what you pay for". Used to be that we preferred carnival due to great food, good entertainment and staff that at least pretended to like their jobs.

Carnival Cruise Lines Entire cruise on carnival liberty

To whom it may concern at Carnival Cruises.

Below please see my itinerary. I planned this cruise for almost a year for myself, my two sisters and niece. The cruise started out good on the 13th of November. It was our first stop in Bahamas, and everything went down hill from there. First, I waited in line for over 40 minutes waiting for my excursion to blue lagoon beach and dolphin swim. It was cancelled because the boat tipped over and was all over the internet, that’s how I found out how close to death we were. When the ship left that port it was rocky the next three nights. By rocky I mean you had to hold onto walls and pillars so you wouldn’t fall. I have taken many cruises and not just with Carnival; never have a had such a scary ride worrying if I was going to make it home alive or not. I’m 63 and a disabled veteran and my PTSD has been heightened since the second morning of the cruise. We were celebrating my sisters 60th birthday and let me tell you none of us did anything but stay in bed most of the cruise and cry.

To get to my point, I am either asking for full refund for my party of four or a free four-night cruise in the place of that fiasco. If this is not the correct person to contact, then please let me know to whom I need to speak to. If I do not hear from Carnival in a timely manner then I will have to take action with my attorney, medical and mental health doctors at the VA and let them handle it. My phone number is [protected]. I look forward to hearing from you, Thanks

To whom this concerns, I’ve just gone through 2hours of frustration and anger. It started with me trying to find out why I haven’t seen my on board credit added to 14 day cruise from my 171 shares of Carnival stock. I faxed the information like I always do. I usually see them posted in a day or two. Been doing this for as many years since inception of...

Carnival Cruise Lines Cleanliness. Customer service,

11/6/23 was on the Spirit and went to Chop Stick, my son bit in to sand and found hair in my food, following Morning got a coffee cup and had lip stick still on cup, kept finding dirty dishes through out cruise, on 11/8/23 went to Empiral order filet mignon when I cut into it, it was tough and open like a sun flower, tried to eat a piece it just swelled in my mouth could not eat. I paid for bottomless bubbles it was a act of congress to get a soda I paid for and only in the bar. Did not like drink choicest of drinks in the food gallery, I have heard nothing negative since it started leaving from Mobile, I will never go on another cruise.

Claimed loss: Some of my money back

Desired outcome: Some of my money back, change management on that ship. It will not last coming out Mobile,

Carnival Cruise Lines Carnival sunshine. Purchased vacation protection and refused refund or future cruise credit

I booked a cruise on Carnival Sunshine in May 2023 for January 2024 for a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas. First time cruiser so I booked two cabins and purchased travel protection. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the booking due to unforeseen circumstances before the final payment was due, November 5 2023 it was cancelled, finial payment was due November 11 2023. I talked to Sabrina on the 5 of November she cancelled for me and suggested since I purchased the vacation protection plan that I contact Anon. I did contact them November 7 2023 and my claim was denied, they suggested I call Carnival at [protected]. I called November 14 2023 and talked to a "VERY RUDE" LADY, I did not get her name because she was extremely rude and short, all I was going to ask was about the Cruise Credit and she said it was NON - REFUNDABLE RUDLY she told me I could email Reviews.com and hung up. I have never cruised, and I will never cruise with Carnival when my situation changes, and I am able to reschedule. Booking#R9R6H2 AND booking #R9R6H3. PIN#1264. Cathy Strickland. I lost $594.00 on this so NO I will never experience Carnival.

Carnival Cruise Lines Worst cruise ever

Started out the AC did not work in our room & many other rooms, we sweated at night & they brought us a small fan, they never fixed the AC throughout the whole cruise, smell of urine in the hallways that they did not fix only put air freshener. The staff was mostly rude & service was terrible. In the sports bar there were two things to order to eat one of us ordered food from another part of the boat and had it delivered by staff to the bar, the bar tender told him he could not eat that food in the bar and made him leave with his food. The sports bar was completely packed and not room for others that wanted to watch games, I had went to guest services to ask for them to put the games on the TVs that are in the casino bar and was told by guest services they will not do that, I asked the lady to call Tech and she did not want to, I insisted and she pretended to call them and said to me they cant do that like I said, I asked to speak to a supervisor and she turned around and then turned back and said “can I help you”! I said so you’re the supervisor and she said no one is higher. When I went back to the bar there happened to be the tech guy there working on the TV’s and asked him to put the games on the casino bar TVs and he said no problem done! When I got my bill there were charges on it that I did not agree with, I was told that I’m the controller of your party & because you ordered drinks at the same time as others in your party at the same time you are charged for drinks and that we have to wait 5 minutes between orders I told her we all bought drink packages and we were in the dining room, again she told me it’s the rules you cant all order drinks at the same time, but there is 6 of us and we have to wait 5 minutes each to order drinks she said yes that is the rules and since you’re the controller of the party you are charged for everyone else that don’t wait the 5 minutes. I told her I was going to post this online and she told me go ahead we like feedback, Then she started saying hello, hello, hello, are you there, are you there and then hung up on me.

Worse cruise ever.

November 11, 2023 Dear Carnival Cruise Lines, I feel the need to voice my complaint because my last cruise was not a great experience as expected. I had planned to take my sister on a cruise for her birthday, which was in April of this year. The cruise was booked in April 2023 but unfortunately our oldest died and we had to cancel to attend his funeral...

Carnival Cruise Lines Cruise

My mom and I cruised on carnival February of 2023. In may, her credit card (cc) company called her with fraudulent charges all over Florida. The cc stopped all payment. She realized a charge was not fraudulent and was for the February cruise. She called the cc and they immediately issued payment to carnival ( we have the statements). We had another cruise scheduled in September of 2023. In June, I was unable to pay off the cruise and was told that I never paid for the February cruise. I disputed and described what happened to MY MOM and not me. I was told I was put on the no sail list and not her. I proved to them them they were paid and was told “it has to hit the books before we will release you”. Several weeks later, it was posted on their books (per them with an email confirming this). I paid off my September cruise. The DAY BEFORE the cruise, carnival sent me an email at around 4pm est and I’m on pst. I tried to call, they were closed. I flew out early that next morning. While on layover, I called and proved payment and sent their email with confirmation of payment and a copy of the bank cc statement. I was told “I don’t know who u work with but carnival doesn’t take word of mouth”. I stated these are emails from you and cc statements. I was told, you’re still canceled but good news, your mom and kids aren’t. They emailed me knowing I couldn’t take care of this prior to the cruise. I have been fighting since. They will not take the cc statement proving payment stating they want a letter from the cc stating what account they sent the money to. Cc won’t talk to me because it is not my account but my moms. Carnival then stated “there was a charge to you and your mom for the same amount. I asked “to the penny the same. That’s impossible.” Collections then said, we’ll your moms hasn’t posted. Again, I prove this and they will not take the proof. We go round and round. Payment was made with proof, collections is very rude and will not help and my mom is unable to talk to them due to it being against me. I really need help and nobody will. The bill is a little over $700. Carnival stranded my family and could care less. Is there anything that I can do? What action do I have? I will never sail with them again due to the unprofessional billing and actions but how do I get this cleared? Any help would be appreciated.

Claimed loss: $750 est for cruise payment already made $1400 tickets to Miami$2000 hotels$150 train rides

Desired outcome: At the very least, removal and reversal from collections for an amount not owed. I would like reimbursement from some of the travel. Not all but a portion.

Carnival Cruise Lines Cruise ship Panerma.

When we boarded the ship had issues. They proceeded to take us out anyway. The second day they said only one port because we couldn’t cruise at normal speed. I found out later they lost an engine. I am a diesel mechanic and saw the issue from day one. They offered us a $200 credit instead of turning around and giving us a cruise to all 3 ports instead of one. Crap cruise line. Walmart of cruise lines. Should be offered another cruise to replace this one. Took time off work and traveled to take cruise. $200 is a joke.

Claimed loss: $2500

Desired outcome: Another cruise to replace failed one.

Carnival Cruise Lines Various electronics valued at $170

On 10/28/23 I check my luggage, small suitcase and backpack, at Carnival port and boarded Carnival Sunshine. Mine and my roommates suitcase was delivered later in the day after sailing. My checked backpack never arrived.

My Stewart said that some baggage had not been delivered.

At approximately 1030PM i went to customer service to report my backpack missing.

The lady went in a room and came out with my backpack…checked baggage tag still attached. She had a form where they had checked the contents. I moved to beside the desk to check contents and found items missing. Before I could approach the counter again, a Carnival employee that cleaned the bathrooms told me he found the bag in the men’s room pushed under the sink.

The Service Desk employee FAILED to tell me that….even implied that I lost it somewhere.

I had NOT seen the bag since I checked it with Carnival baggage before boarding.

Service desk listed items as lost, they WERE NOT LOST, THEY WERE STOLEN.

Security was called and they implied that I lost the backpack or had the missing items in my room. I’m not stupid and am a retired police officer….I can tell when I’m getting the run around. I turned over the custody and care of my bag to Carnival and NEVER saw it again until I got it back at customer service.

On 9/2/23 I located my missing Visor hanging beside cabin 2335. I went by Customer service to talk to security. I was told security was busy but she would let them know when and where I found my visor.

The next day I went by customer service to find out who I needed to speak with to get reimbursed for my stolen items. I also inquired if security had been advised of the circumstances of me finding my visor. The lady earlier FAILED to advised them. This lady said she would.

I spoke to the occupants in room 2335. They stated that on the day we sailed, they heard something fall or hit their door. When they opened the door they found the visor. Recognizing the THIN BLUE LINE they figured a law enforcement officer dropped it and hung it up hoping they would come by and see it.

Proving the bag had probably been on the 2nd floor. Maybe the thieves saw it outside my room and took it. I seem to be the only one concerned about my items. I have 72 sailing days with Carnival and have never had a problem until now. My bag was in Carnivals care and custody and I would like to be reimbursed for missing items. The security office has an incident report that I made. I am very miffed about being accused of me losing my bag.

Claimed loss: My items are listed on attached report. Visor returned…value of missing items $170.

Desired outcome: Reimbursement for items

Carnival Cruise Lines Refunds

I had canceled my cruise yesterday, October 23rd, 2026. I had purchased the trip insurance that's to reimburse me for my ticket if something came up and I couldn't go. So, I called to cancel and get my money back. I got the sum total of eight hundred and change, Also, that I had to file a claim from a different company [turns out it's *their* company.] It was totally ludicrous. I never actually thought that Carnival Cruise would put me thru that. I have so much on my mind right now including, including my daughter-in-law being on hospice. I didn't need this. I just wanted my money back

Carnival Cruise Lines Casino Employee Jeanette

My wife and I were on the Miracle from 10/29-11/02/23. Jeanette was very rude to my wife and I while we were playing cards. She swiped my wife's Sail & Sign card for the card game, threw it back to my wife and rolled her eyes sarcastically. She had no customer service skills and should not be working the floor of the card tables. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Finally on the 5th day I was asked because my son-in-law sat next to me. I did ask at the bar if I could have a bottle of water and was told there would be a charge. My name is Margarita Garcia.

Carnival Cruise Lines Services

So booked a cruise for my family to enjoy a vacation together . My daughter’s boyfriend was going to propose to her on the ship so a very special trip. I been traveling with carnival for 30 yrs and I can tell you it’s gone to [censored] it’s gone to [censored]. Carnival Valor 5 day [protected] vip number Oct 21 thru 25 2023 . Stateroom 9253.. So first thing we didn’t leave on time because a guest overdose on ship and had to bring police and corner and crime unit on board. Also an employee fell and snapped his neck so to passed away to start off. Then was at comedy lounge was told I could not purchase a bucket of beer no matter if I paid for it or not. When I have done this often with no problems. Spoke to customer service. They had no clue call Barb manager said there was no problem and they could accommodate that time the show was over in the night was ruined .Then spoke to steak house to make sure everything was all good for a steak night 10 guest. All good they said week arrived the night to eat and was told only had reservations for eight and it could not accommodate so another night ruined. Then was told my grand daughter could not swim and she was potty trained same thing trip ruined. Then my cabin stewardess was high as a kit and was told the party every night like that. Ok so we worried about people bringing drugs onboard but employees getting high on ship. Found a few groups from cleaning to band players smoking pot onboard. And then told when asked for more water to just drink what you have rude not very nice. And a list goes on and on.

Desired outcome: Never cruising again on carnival

Carnival Cruise Lines Room

We were on Carnival cruise Elations Oct 7 thru 12 2023. I booked my room on line and I made sure to put in the comments that if is 2 twin bed they need to put together. We were in room u169 and it had 1 twin bed on the floor and pull down bunk. We talked to our room person and he told use he will see what they can do, so we went out to enjoying ourselves, it is my 58th bday and our 5th anniversary. We return back to our room around 9 pm and the room is the same way so we go down to guess services, the lady there was very rude to use and must not know what she was doing. The girls goes to this room and then comes out with a sheet of paper and telling us we used a travel agent and I told her NO we didn't, she pointed to a phone number which was mine and name which was my husband. So we are arguing back and forth and told there is nothing that could be done. We offered to pay more for a different room but was told there were NO empty rooms any where on the ship. We all know that someone had a last minute emergencies and not

make the trip. So we ask if they could just bring another twin bed in the room and was told NO, we were both very mad at this point, this is a special trip and we can't even sleep in the same bed together. My husband is 6 foot 5in tall and he tried to sleep on the pull down bed and it did not work for him, he would not let me sleep up there cause I had 2 pedicle fractures in my back that I had major surgery Oct 17 2023. We call our room person back and the only option we had was for my husband to sleep on the FLOOR! My husband is and EMT and works very hard and this is a special trip for us that we have spent a lot of money on and he has to sleep on the floor. I purchased our tickets around June or July 2023 and even called around Sept or so to do an upgrade on our room but due to it being so expensive I passed and even at that time the person that I talked to was told numerous times that this was a special trip for us and she knew the beds need to pushed together if they were 2 twin beds so she should have informed me at that time that the room that I have reserved is not going to work for what I need. I think carnival owes us

a free cruise! I know my husband didn't rest much the whole cruise and paying that kind of money to sleep on the floor is terrible. We have cruise with carnival several times and I have a carnival credit card and this is how they treat their customers.

Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Desired outcome: A free cruise where my husband could actually get the rest that he deserves for working so hard as an EMT and make our 5 th anniversary and my 58th bday special.

Hello Carnival, I have been on several Carnival Cruises. I have been tempted to tried other Cruise lines but I believe if something is "working why break it". This honestly has been the most disappointing Cruise. The Customer Service by the majority of the staff was horrible. The amount of space in the rooms are smaller, kept hitting my legs on the bed to...
