Customer service concern, no return gifts and space on ship!
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...

There is a discrepancy because on my chase card Carnival is charging me $701.90, but on my Carnival statement it shows that I also deposited $500 cash before boarding so where did that cash go?
Meaning that the total statement was $701.90 but the cash should have been used first, leaving me with a $201.90 tab that should have been charged on the chase card. Instead you all charged all $700 on the Chase card but then where is my cash?
When I checked with guest services she said my cash would be used before my card was ran.
Desired outcome: My card is credited 500.00

Lost luggage / unsatisfactory state room
FIRST TIME CRUISERS The first issue that we had is that Carnival lost one of our bags (we still have not gotten it back to this day). It was supposed to be a carry-on bag, therefore it didn't have a luggage tag. However when we brought our luggage to the porter to be checked in, he grabbed the bag from my husband's hand and said that it had to go with the...
Read full review of Carnival Cruise Linesnon refundable deposit
october 19, 2023
do to another covid variant I had to cancel our cruise. I was informed that my deposit was non refundable. We have been on 08 cruises with carnival over the past 15 years, all of those cruises were booked with a carnival agent and not one time was I informed that deposits are non refundable. I spoke with a supervisor who said some deposits are coded as refundable but mine is not, she also said if I booked on line I would have been able to read about non refundable deposits (i never booked on line), she said I could re book for an extra 100.00. I can't believe this is how carnival treats loyal cruisers! We will be looking to sail with another cruise line.
Desired outcome: I want my deposit back and I think all carnival agents need to make clear to their cruisers whether or not their deposist are refundable.

Bedding - bedbugs
Date-9/1/2023
I ended with bedbugs bites from sheets/bed while I was on Carnival Cruise Glory August 27- September 3, 2023. I have pictures but they didn't want to see them. I went to guest services for help, but they were very rude and dismissive. The medical group was the same way but their doctor stated it was bedbugs. I had to go back to the same for an extra night without them checking first. I have reach out to guest services via email and waiting until they get back to me. I had to seek medical attention after returning home to deal with this for 2 more weeks.
When they finally hear from them after 45 days. They are just dismissive me again and only apologize.
I was looking for some kind of a compensation, not full refund for the experience I went with guest service, their medical group and after upon my return home. I need a quick phone call and I didn't get that.
Desired outcome: A phone out of respect and at least some thing for the trouble I have to go thought.

my room being cold!!!!!!
my cruise was 9/30/2023 to 10/07/2023, the hold time we were on board my room was so cold. I call housekeeping and no one came up, so the next night we call housekeeping they give us a blanket and a bucket of ice. So, i went to customer service and they call housekeeping, and no one came up, so on the last day I went to customer service and complaint and customer service call housekeeping and then they sent some one up. On the last day on the ship housekeeping came and fix the problem. We spent * days on the ship cold. I had to open the balcony door to get so warm air in. and a couple of night we went to bed late, so we didn't have to deal with the cold air in our room.
THIS WAS A 8 DAY CRUISE

Missing the cruise.
10/9/23- missed cruise due to them loosing my luggage and carry on bag. Bus picked me up from the parking lot and they took my luggage thinking I was going to get them back after getting off the bus but they sent it to the ship and my passport with in my bag. I waited for like an hr and a half but they still couldn’t find my luggage. A lot of people that was on the bus had the same problem but they found their luggage but not mine. I need a refund or a free cruise. I also put $100 on a cruise cash bar.
Desired outcome: Refund or a free cruise.

Airfare Cancellation
In regards to reservations J9B5M1 and J9B5Q4: These reservations were cancelled at the last minute due to the Personal Vacation Planner not being accurate with the COVID protocols at the time. I lost the amount of the cruise cost as well as the amount of the airfare. The cruise cost I can understand - it would have been a direct revenue loss to CCL. However, the airfare was paid by me through CCL to the airlines. I called and the airlines refunded the full amount back to the credit card that paid it -- the CCL credit card. CCL kept the airfare even though there was no loss of revenue to CCL. This is totally unfair. CCL should understand that just because it has the right to do something, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. This has been very stressful for me and caused a complete loss of trust with the employees of CCL.
Desired outcome: I would like a refund of the airfare that I paid to the airlines through CCL.

I awake a reason that the insurance will not cover this. Thank you,

Desired outcome: I would like a refund of the additional $660.28 as stated above or an explanation of why the insurance and/or carnival will not accept our medical reasons. Paying for the insurance EVERY cruise!
Very disappointed in Carnival not considering a future cruise credit or ANYTHING. I truly believe that this will not be resolved and therefore not cruising with Carnival Corp. Again.

On both dates above my cruise the was canceled, the first was corrected and I was placed on a waiting list. The next day I was given a room same deck near my family. Today I find out my trip was canceled again. Strange thing is when I was on the phone with the rep from Casino on the 13th witnessed someone attempting to cancel my book at the same time I was SPEAKING TO THE REP. She was ballistic, to the point of yelling WTF, WTF, she immediately contacted her supervisor and end results added me to a waiting list and after purchasing the cheers package and steak house reservations I find out my room AGAIN was canceled and at this point it appears I will not be cruising after waiting a year. And to TOP it All off. They charged me a PENALTY for the cancelation I did not make. Never received a Cancelation email or text or nothing. What can be done?
Desired outcome: Get me back on my cruise for Sep 25th Carnival Conquest

Vista ship 7 day cruise 9/2/2023 from Galveston Texas
My husband and family took the cruise as a celebration of our college graduates and almost everyone ended up with Covid upon the end of the cruise. The sad part is the staff knew this particular ship was HOT COVID! one of the staff warned us to be safe upon entering the ship on the day of the cruise as 40 plus people had COVID on the cruise just before us. Carnival didn’t alert us about the COVID HOT environment we were exposed to, nor do they give people the opportunity to cancel . Quite frankly they run their stewards through the cabins to clean so fast between new cruises they can’t possibly be disinfecting properly. When there is an airborne virus the area of such needs to be aired out! That doesn’t happen. When you are boarding people as others are getting off that is not enough time to disinfect a ship!
Desired outcome: I want a refund since I had to miss work after getting Covid on Carnival Vista

Laundry service ruined a blouse
Laundry service. Ruined one of my daughters blouses she got for her birthday from a friend and had only worn it a couple of times. Never had a problem before but we sent in laundry and her blouse came back with black spots on it. They came got it and tried to get out of so they said. She was heart broken and three it away. I am just at a loss because it has never happened before and it has to be her blouse. That shirt was special and her friend said she paid $29.99 plus tax for it.
Desired outcome: I think Carnival should give her some kind of compensation.

Read full review of Carnival Cruise Linescruise port we were diverted to
We were recently on the Magic out of Norfolk sailed Aug. 19-27. We were diverted to Nassau and Bimini, Nassau was awesome, but Bimini was horrible, unable to swim in the ocean due to a massive jellyfish population there, the free beach was full of trash, and there is absolutly nothing to do on the island without spending massive amounts of money. We were only reimbursed $20 per person, bit the cruise after us was reimbursed $200 per person, how is this fair. I would have been happy to spend 2 days in Nassau, but Bimini should not even be a stop for any cruise ship. I am hoping that we can get reimbursed the same $200 as the cruise after us. Thank you for your time, You can contact me by calling [protected], Wayne LaMont, VFIP#[protected]
