illness contracted abroad
I contracted a bad influenza and a very stiff neck during the last 4 days of the cruise from Sydney to Hawaii on the legend departibg 2 april 2019 and had to have Ventolin, antibiotics and Panadol. I have had some of my lung removed some 2 years ago and heavy congestion formed on my lungs and now have been vomiting the past 3 days and I have been quite I'll and unable to leave the cabin or hotel room in Hawaii. I now have diahrea .
The Carnival Legend should be contacted as this contagion is probably still aboard.
Please forward this to Carnival Legend as there were many sick people in the Drs officoffice. This has spoilt my holiday and have to drag myself to the airport and try to get home.

not receiving product promised and what was booked,
Cruise date 4/11/19 out of Mobile. 3 persons booked and that was after talking to 2 different agents. Also told them that I would have a disability scooter. When getting onboard discovered 1 king bed. Went to guest services desk to get the 1 bed situation cleared up only to be told there was nothing that could be done at this time, with we don, t care attitude. I tried explaining that 2 different agents had booked this room knowing we had 3 people. We are in our 70S and this was our first cruise, very dissappointing if we do this again do not think I could do Carnival.
also before returning back to Mobile we were told to put our bags in hallway and they would be takencare of for us. However they failed to say we would now be last off.
We had also purchased a faster to the fun which I could not tell what this did for anyone, certainley not for us.
The only thing that I have to say good about this cruise was the clebrity Dining Room all in all even though you have become very cheap about it I want to praise the 3 people who took care of us Riomar Bernadette and julius these 3 folks made our dining experience very pleasant,
You deal with so many folks you probably dont care about 3 old folks that had a bad experience but word of mouth does go a long way. Thanks for a very miserable week.

disembarkation and cabin smell and filthy balcony
This is the 6th cruise i have been on and this ship is the worst one ever! The Grand Cabin i paid alot of extra money for smelled terrible, like methane gas coming out of the bathroom drains. We complained but nothing was ever done about it and the balcony was filthy, hadnt been cleaned in at least 4 or 5 cruises before us. Also, the grating above the balcony was rusty and dripping rusting dirty water on me and my clothes, as well as the bolts were falling out of the grating, i notified the cabin steward and the rusty bolt just layed on the balcony thru the entire cruise, not to mention the heavy grate only had one rusty bolt in it to hold it up, so you would think this would be a safety issue not to mention the methane gas smell coming from the plumbing and bathroom drains. The most important part of my complaint was when it came time to leave the ship during disembarkation the elevators were CLOSED! Unbelievable! I had to carry i and my wifes luggage up two flights of stairs, only to be told we would have to wait for all of the other passengers to leave the lounge before we could leave. REALLY? My wife refused and we left with the first 20 or so passengers anyways. I injured my neck and back carrying the luggage up the stairs to get off the ship and they werent any staff around at the Deck 6 we were on to help us. They never told us the elevators would be Closed during disembarkation, actually they told us those passengers with special needs could leave first if they were able to carry their luggage safely, but never told us we would have to carry luggage up 2 whole flights of stairs. Five cruises before never experienced this, and this time we were told we would recieve VIP treatment because we booked a suite. SOME VIP TREATMENT. I came home in terrible pain. I will never ever sail with Carnival Cruise lines ever again, from now on it is Royal Caribbean, where I feel that I am being treated with respect and dignity and that I am actually getting what I paid for. The ship was the Carnival Elation and the date this ocurred was April 13, 2019. We stayed in cabin U73. The cruise itinerary was 4/8/19 to 4/13/19 and the two shore excursions were Half Moon Cay and the second excursion was Nassau, Bahamas. The name is Reggie V. Johnston and my wife Susan K. Johnston. I feel that we should be compensated somewhat for all our pain and aggravation. Dissatisfied Passenger.
partial refund not transferred
This is in regards to my cancellation of a cruise "3FQX71" dated for 7-14-19 and transferring my deposit to a future scheduled cruise "6FKV19" dated for 12-7-19.After cancelling my cruise and requesting for my deposit of $500 to be transferred to the future cruise in December, only $400 was transferred, and I don't understand why since I am only transferring the deposit to another booked cruise.I have been cruising with Carnival since 2009, and also have obtained the Platinum status #[protected], without ever cancelling a cruise or requesting a deposit transferr, so the question is why wasn't all of my deposit transferred.Futhermore, my wife reached Platinum status before I did and neither her nor I have received any type of incentive, such i.e upgrade nor a complementary cruise for reaching Platinum status.
I still don't agree with the terms, it's not like we not trying to go on a cruise, I just don't understand that this is how you treat Platinum cruisers, who have been faithful since 2009, and haven't received any type of incentive or promotion since becoming Platinum.
cruise experience
Roommate on the cruise had medical bill of 700 dollars. Customer service floor kept redirecting him to the doctor regarding the bill, while the doctor kept telling him to speak with guest services. It was an endless circle of no one willing to help or have any information.
At the end as we tried to leave the ship, they redirected him to the extremely long customer service line that was never able to help him when he actually tried to fix the problem days ahead of time. Now we have to wait and stand to the side as the line is extremely long from the last moments on the cruise. On top of it, staff was extremely rude not allowing us to sit while we wait for him (since he cannot leave the ship). I asked where we could sit at and he told us we could go all the way back upstairs(mind you we have tons of luggage and have already waited in line to leave the ship) . Carnival is extremely rude and unprofessional. Will never, ever sail with this cruise line again.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
recent cruise on the carnival sunshine
Let me begin by saying that this cruise was our 16th cruise on Carnival. We took the Carnival Sunshine for Spring break because we loved this ship. We took a cruise on this ship in July 2018. Our booking number for this past cruise was 2VDM90.
I did have a good time despite all the things that happened on this ship. The employees who waiting on us were very nice. However, there was no control over certain things. This was a spring break cruise as I had my child who is 12 on the cruise. There were kids were out of control. They were running down hallways and knocking on doors. While out on the lido deck during any competition (hair main contest, etc), kids were getting up in the middle of the area. The director (Mikey) of the cruise ship didn't ask for any of them to go back to their seats nor did any other employee. Someone has to take charge of guest that are acting up. I'm not saying that they need to be rude to them but to politely ask children to go back to their seats, rooms, or whatever it takes. Mikey was funny and good at entertaining us. However, he definitely lacks in the ability to manage the people and the cruise customers.
During our cruise, there was a fire in the middle of the night. We were told it was smoke but the 3rd floor said it was a true fire. The captain came on once. Then the director which said he would keep us updated. He said it was only smoke. However, we got no additional updates.
My worst day was the day we left the ship on April 6th. It is also a crazy day. This time, crazy is mild in comparison to how we got off the ship. In my 16 cruises, we are always at port getting off the ship at 7:30 am. This cruise, we didn't get in the port until around 8:20. I'm honestly not sure what time the first people started getting off the ship. I know that I did not get off the ship until almost 10 am. First, I am a platinum member. Second, I was in the early flights area just to make sure that I was one of the first ones off. When they finally let us out of our area that early fights were located at, half the people were off the ship. Also, everyone was kicked out of their room at 8am even thought no one had no where to go.
Mikey (the ship's director) had specified the day before that he would make sure it was orderly when leaving. There was no order. Like I said, half the ship was empty before we left and we were the early flights! Numerous people missed their flights. Everyone was complaining of the missed flights and the disarray in getting off the ship.
My family's flight was at 11:25 on Delta. Needless to say, we missed our flight. We did end up getting a new flight with no fee but was told different on the phone with delta. When I called the Carnival cruise line and spoke to the guest relations lady, she said it was a "technical error" and Carnival wasn't responsible. I sure know that I wasn't responsible. I know we were crawling up to the port for quite some time. Something was going on but we were left out of that conversation along with numerous ones on this cruise.
I mentioned to the guest services lady that I was so upset that I may cancel my cruise for this July (Carnival Magic) and take Royal Carribean. She told me that she can take care of canceling it at that time. This was a very rude statement. Instead of trying to sympathize with me, she made matters worse by escalating my frustration. This put a grey cloud over my entire cruise. You would think after 16 cruises, we would be treated with a little more respect that that. We spend over $2, 000.00 on each cruise through the bar and spa.
I'm not sure what I intend to do for my July cruise. We have not decided yet. We thought Carnival would be the only cruise ship we would ever take. However, I'm not sure about this now. I honestly am not sure if the platinum members are even appreciated at this point. I say that especially after the lady from guest services basically volunteered to cancel my next cruise. One would think she would try to encourage me to think about it.
I think if you have any willingness to make this right, we should be discounted on the last cruise or discounted for the upcoming cruise.
Thanks for your time in allowing me to vent.

I have sailed with Carnival several times but my encounter on the Carnival Fantasy for April 1, 2019 will be my last cruise. I booked my cruise in December 2018 (5RNZ70 5RNX68) with an agent over the phone to ensure that my family of 5 would obtain adjoining or side by side rooms for our cruise. I informed the agent that I wanted two side by side ocean view rooms. Before hanging up, I verified with the agent again that we were booked for two side by side 6c ocean view rooms to accommodate my family of 5. She said we would be in rooms 181 and 185 which are side by in the rear of the ship. I said great, book it!
Fast forward to my cruise on April 1st, my side by rooms were actually on two different floors. We were devastated and disappointed seeing that the reason I spoke with a live person and didn't book online was to prevent this very thing. We went to guest services on board where the manger had zero concern or sympathy. She asked me when did i get my confirmation, I told her I probably got it the same day. She said well its my responsibility to verify once I get confirmation. I told her I did look at it and I saw my two 6c ocean view rooms 181 and 185 just like I was told. I did not realize they were on different floors. She said all she could do was send a letter to corporate; otherwise, I would have to handle this after the cruise. So I called guest care after the cruise, they said the burden is on me. I agree to accept some accountability, but I feel like carnival should as well. I SPOKE WITH A LIVE AGENT, who booked my cruise. It probably was a slip of her finger that caused this whole horrible experience for my family, and I feel that they should assume some fault here. The customer care agent asked me, "well do you know the name of the agent that booked you?" I said I booked this cruise last year ma'am, are you unable to see who booked my cruise in your system?" She found the person and said she would add information to my case. I said OK whats next, she said we don't offer any compensation in this case, if so it would have been done on the ship. THE GUEST SERVICE MANGER ON THE SHIP SAID I HAD TO RESOLVE THIS AFTER MY CRUISE. WE SPENT ABOUT $4, 100! They told me they would not follow up with me but if I wanted to call back I could. I'm so done with Carnival after this.
Not to mention, one our rooms had a broken faucet that fell off with the first attempted use, fingernails and pubic hair in my bed when I turned the covers back, other peoples hand and finger prints all over the cabin due to poor cleaning, and the fact that they turned the entire cruise into a country music extravaganza despite the vast variety of people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds on board. LAST CRUISE WITH CARNIVAL!

4sbp85 booking
Today my girlfriends and I were to get onboard the Carnival Valore but to an unseen bad wreck, traffic was held up tremendously. When we felt that we weren't going to make the final boarding time I called Carnival immediately. First representative maybe wanted to be helpful but not so much. Her advice was to just continue driving and get there and that the account was noted, so we kept driving. Because I was not as confident in her I called back several times, one time with someone giving me a different number which was supposed to be for traffic emergencies. Again this person and several other representatives said to get there as quickly as possible. Our final boarding time was 3pm and we got there at 3:30 to be turned away by the Carnival personnel who let us know that they have different rules and protocols than the phone representatives telling us to get there. One-what sense does this make and two-everyone that works for Carnival should be on the same page. Long story short Dawn was helpful in helping us book another cruise in which we received a partial refund but still out of $422 and we/I want a refund for this amount. We have sailed with Carnival several times and have always had a great experience but this time honestly we are slightly disappointed.
Also called later today (12am) to see if we could get some type of courtesy credit for our cruise leaving in the morning from Florida and was very rudely told "NO". Representative had a bad attitude from the beginning of the call, throughout the call till the end of the call.
cruise on 11/18/2019 (irjq69
On Friday before cruise we were travelling home and unaware of 4 car accident 5 miles ahead in passing lane,
I collided with the 4 cars. W e went to hospital and we ok except for my wife who had stches a nd a concussion. The attendin DR said she should not travel and gave us a letter expressing that. Nexion LLC in Texas was the Travel Agent (andrea) and
Silvia Gosdenovich was out contact. WE sentinfo to her. Unfortunately we has no Insurance. Our family went on the cruise which was to be an 80 th birthday celebration for my wife. Our children went. We requested to credit to be used at a noyher tim and
we received our sale tax only.
Atty Doug Noble sent a note that since the room was resold it would be nice under the
circumstances that a credit be given. Miss Gosdenovich presented our request and it was refused. Of course my wife was hart broken that we could be there with her children. ( Side Note: We had just recently lost our Daughter Karen. This would
have be a great help tp her maaking progress. The credit would have been about
$ 1800-2000.
Looking for a positive with your interventio.
Thank you for your time

What an absolutely terrible and heartbreaking situation. I hope a full recovery was made after the accident. I'm glad to know your agent tried to get the cruise vendor to give you a credit. However, no agent can guarantee that will happen. Travel advisors are incredible advocates but not magician's. Unfortunately, the cruise vendors have very strict policies. Because of those policies and because travel insurance is always an option, they typically do not make exceptions. It happens from time to time but not often. Normally they advise the agent that the clients should have taken insurance as insurance is for the unexpected and unforeseen.
carnival management is the worst
READ BEFORE YOU BOOK A CARNIVAL CRUISE.
Carnival is officially the worst company I have ever dealt with. Before I go further, the crew of the Carnival cruise was very nice and hard working. However, the management of Carnival is the worst.
I wanted to give my Mom and Dad a fun experience as part of my Dad's 81st birthday and their 60th wedding anniversary. So, I purchased a cruise on the Carnival Elation. We had two balcony cabins ($3, 000) next to each other on deck 14. There are only two elevators that go up to deck 14 and one of these elevators was not operational the entire cruise. Also, one of the two elevators in the atrium was also not working the entire cruise. For my parents, this made the cruise a waiting game. Sometimes the one working elevator would come up but there was no room to get on. My parents felt bad and decided to take the stairs on a moving ship. My father fell but luckily was caught by another passenger.
Furthermore, after dinner, we expected to take in a show or sit at the piano bar or some other place to enjoy the evening. However, the shows were amateur with crew members that could not sing or some game show for kids. The lounges were closed until 10:00 or 11:00. There was Karaoke I believe but what person over 50 wants to hear that? With the early dinner, there was nothing to do on the ship after eating. We are trapped on a cruise ship but the ship is basically closed.
Now we are back from our cruise and I call to complain. The first person just tells me sorry that we did not enjoy our experience. I also wrote Carnival my feedback. I waited a month and heard nothing. So, I call again and speak with Yvonne for more than an hour as she seems to be taking a lot of notes. She tells me that she will submit it to management. I wait about four days and Yvonne calls me back…not management, not a supervisor but the person that answered the phone and took notes in the first place. She tells me the management told her that she can offer us a $25 voucher for use on another Carnival Cruise. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Another Carnival Cruise? And for our terrible experience, you are offering to buy me a drink basically. No thank you!
Well, we are not done yet and my Dad, A Retired Air Force Veteran, is starting to experience a lot of pain in his back and hip from the fall down the stairs when Carnival's elevator was out of order.
Carnival Management should be ashamed.
My name is Monique Lacroix. I booked about nine ppl on a cruise on the boat called the Sensation. There was NOTHING sensational about this cruise. I have been on several Carnival Cruises before and have never experienced the mess we experienced o. This cruise. We got to the cruise ship and was literally attacked by ppl wanting to put our luggage on the ship. After saying no and there persistence we decided to say yes. We tipped them and they assured us we would get our luggage before the end of the night. We kept admitting g the guest desk about our luggage. As of 7p that night no sign of our luggage. We were upset because while speaking with a man named Trevor from Zimbabwe he said he didnt know where our luggage was a d he could provide us with a Carnival Tshirt. I thought are you kidding g me. The next day we spotted our own luggage with some Carnival employee. The employer stated he found it in another persons room stating they had take. Them to the wrong floor. Meanwhile, while we were waiting on a response from Trev6wbo said he will let us know the smell on the boat was nauseating. We complained several times to guest services where Trevor got upset stating he didnt give a [censored] and lifted his leg up as if he was going to jump over the counter at a 4'9 young woman. The witness's jumped in to get this young lady out of danger. As all of the witness's complained another associate came out and called the young lady a [censored]. When another member of the party came to try to settle this young lady 's account and complain also about missing luggage, bogus charges our Bill's, the smell of raw sewage on the floor from back up of water and feces in someone elses room, we were told on this young lady's charge on this account that we have to speak with security. When asked for FAITH to call them she picked the phone up a d acted like she was calling him. No one came after 40 min of waiting we asked if she really called after seeing several security guards walk by. When we questioned Faith she and the associate Alexuandria came out and said if I did not leave the guest desk she was going to call security and then decided to call forreal. We stayed but then Alexandi6was asked if she was the one that called the young lady a "[censored]" . Alexandria stated yes because she was called one a d that you are acting like one too. This was to me very disturbing to me because this is a guest services desk. We were clearly upset when we left we knocked up against a roped sign that fell down and security rushed over as if we were destroying this nadty boat. Before security came we requested a official letter of our complaints and was told it would be sent to our room. We received it right before we got off the boat. When we were disembarking we were given a letter stating that we could NEVER COME ON ANY FUTURE CRUISES OF CARNIVAL. I waited about a week before I called customer care because I did not want to take it out on the per6on the other end of the phone. Told them everything. They got back to me via the phone stating that when the Captain made a decision it could not be reversed. Now I feel that we were not even giving enough the chance to have them investigate our claims. This decision was made by one employee s decision. If your job requires you to have good ratings your probably should have an outside investigation. I am Sharing because we had witness's to all of this a d phone numbers to guest we did not know prior to this cruise. Very upsetting.
customer service issue
We have a cruise scheduled for April 1, 2019 on Carnival Inspiration. I booked two rooms, an Oceanview and inside stateroom. I broke my ankle 3 weeks ago. I called to see if I could move my cruise out two weeks so that I could enjoy myself and my cruising vacation. I found out that I could move one reservation with no problem, only an extra $50 per person, Booking 4KHQ62. The other reservation was a penalty of $678.00 then I would have to rebook the room and pay the new fare, Booking 4KHR36, essentially paying in excess of $1200.00 for an inside stateroom. The customer service agent would not even discuss how much extra it would cost me until I agreed to forfeit the $678.00. The individual I talked to stated that I should have read the passenger contract and I should have paid extra for the insurance. Had the first person I talked to said, sorry can't change your reservation unless you pay for a new cruise it would have been okay. But to be told one thing by one person and another thing by another person is just poor customer service. This will be my 17th cruise, third by Carnival, and will be by far the worst cruise I will take. Am I happy? Absolutely not. Will I cruise again, absolutely just not with Carnival since I am coming away with a nasty taste in my mouth over this whole issue. It would be nice if your customer service had some compassion and treated my issue with something other than transferring me to multiple people before cutting off my request with a slam for extra money. While Carnival is a business and needs to make a profit in order to stay in business, properly trained customer service representatives are important to keep the customers coming back. By the actions of the Carnival Customer service individual, Carnival has lost a potential repeat customer. This will be a miserable vacation, I can already see it happening and I will be the customer staying in my room since it will be a hassle trying to get around the ship with a broken ankle.

food, service, staff
Good afternoon,
I'm writing to inform you of the experience my fiancee (kayla mcduffie) and I had during our spring break vacation (march 10 thru march 17 2019) on the carnival dream.
I would like to start off by letting you know that this was my first time traveling with carnival (i've cruised with royal caribbean before) but my fiancee (kayla mcduffie) has gold status and has been on several carnival ships.
So I read all the information on carnival dream ship and watch all the videos. So my expectations were set very high with this being of the larger, nicer ships. So I wanted to see just how different it was from the royal caribbean cruise. We traveled with a group of 14 people, mixed with kids and adults. And we planned to take another carnival cruise soon.
The first incident happen during the 1st captain's dinner. Our dinner time was at 8:15 pm, we made it there by 8:17 pm. We sat at our time until 8:40 pm, until 1 of the family members went to complain to scarlett dinning room manager. So at 8:45 pm we finally got bread and water for our table, but the table in front and behind us both had bread and drinks at their tables by 8:20 pm. Our lead server didn't remember our names until day 4.
The second incident was with our ocean view stateroom (1228). Our house keeper (imade) really didn't clean our room while we were out and about. My fiancee used the body washer and it wasn't refilled until she asked for it to be, the room was very dusty. The beds in our room were very uncomfortable, and to top it off the staff wasn't very interactive with us as guest. We did enjoy the towel animals.
The third incident happen on deck 10 (lido deck). My fiancee and I went to get a late night snack from the deli area. We had salad and a couple different items from the deli area. We sat down with the family and proceeded to enjoy our meal. She took a couple bites of her salad and fed me a couple of bites, when she notice something very dark mixed in with her salad. She immediately sat back and put her hands on her head, we asked her what's wrong? She said there is a big moth or butterfly (picture attached) mixed in with her salad (she was very discussed). We immediately let the head chef and another gentleman know that we found the insect in the salad. Their offer to us was an apology and more food (not a good option), the assistant let us know that we would have to contact guest services. So the next morning, we received some chocolate covered strawberries (unprofessional made). Later that day we went to guest services, and spoke with kamlesh (supervisor guest service). He pretty much offered the same thing (more food), 2 drinks, or 50.00 worth of photos (2 8 x 10). My fiancee at this point is frustrated and disappointed. She asked for the photos but still wanted to speak with his supervisor but kamlesh wouldn't let us know their name, but come back a 4.
The fourth incident is we saw several moments of unsanitary food handle with guy's burgers (picture attached), and the pizzeria (video and photo attached). As we passed by guy's burger we notice some of the burgers being stored just inches about the dirty floor and dripping grease and juice on the floor. The pizzeria workers would pass out food (did everything with no gloves on) and then go back to making the pizza dough. A couple of guest questioned the same thing (working and handling the food with no gloves).
So we're emailing you to see how this can be handle, because as first time carnival cruiser this was not a good experience. I've cruised with royal caribbean and the service, food, and staff we're great.
My fiancee (kayla mcduffie) has cruised with carnival on several different occasions and a few times with royal caribbean and this was one of the worst experiences (eating a bug, food, service, staff) while cruising.
We gladly await your response

your tella marketing practice are rude crude and most of all illegal. I've asked your reps. to quit calling several times and I still get the calls. Your reps. just hang up when I start to asked them to take my number of the calling list.. [protected] (Jamie) a male and [protected]. I guess my next step is the BBB and the Attorney General's office. I've tried to be polite about this but it appears you know nothing of manners. contact me at [protected]@gmail.com I wish to know what you plan on doing about this.
service in general
I have cruises with Carnival several times now. I must say that with the exception of our Cabin Guy in E225 please forgive me as I'm horrible with remembering names. The seecvice seemes to have declined overall. I don't know if it was because we opted for the anytime meal service but the Waiter was kind but didn't offer up any other choices when my Lobster which was a charge this time around was over cooked and then my pork last night was so tuff I couldn't even chew it. When my Husband attempted to ask a simpleat the bar the Lady quickly dismissed him and told him to go directly to Guest Relations for ANY questions.
I understand that times are changing but I've always spoke highly of the Carnival Cruise Line and would not say anything negative about it even now. I was just saddened to have had a less than Wonderful Time on our trip.
We do plan another Cruise this Summer and hope that it won't be our last.
Respectfully Submitted,
Lorraine Rogers
No internet service on the ship victory
I pre purchased a internet package Order number IC1720190205value Wi - FI Plan for Shirley Green, booking number 6DXT56, Cabin 6221 on Nassu Bahamas. Left Miami FL. on Friday February 22 - 25 2019. I was not able to connect my I phone to the Internet while I was on the ship Victory. They did remove the charge from my bill.
I know that Victory ship is old ship and its been a while since it was refurbished the last time. Can you please tell me how you can improve the Internet service on this ship or any other ships in your fleet?
As a stock holder I am interested in how Carnival plan on this matter? I know there is some factor that Internet can not connect to the Satellite during weather conditions.
Thanks for your time, And I am looking forward to here your answer on this matter

choice of beer products (budweiser)
VIFP [protected] and [protected], booking #1qrd15 and 1qrc01, My wife Edwina and I with another couple boarded the Carnival Dream on February 10, 2019 out of New Orleans, LA for our annual Valentine Day Cruise, We are on the LIDO like usual before setting out to sail, Let me remind you this is our 22nd and 23rd cruise on carnival.. When I ordered a regular (red can) budweiser the bartender stated Carnival doesn't have this selection anymore on there ships, My wife wasn't happy because she has never had any problems on ANY carnival ships in the past getting her red can budweiser, we asked for the manager in charge which he tried to be helpful about this situation but there is no alternate budweiser for my wife this is her only choice forever. This made our 7-day cruise a nightmare without the king of beers budweiser. I'm asking for all Budweiser (red-can) customers please bring this choice of beer back to your ships.. If carnival is going change there menu we the customers should be notified or you can post your menu of beverages on your website.
OK, the replies to the gentleman who posted this are completely un-warranted and out of line. sorry, but they are. I am 35 and have been on several cruises, not platinum, but i really enjoy Carnival. my last cruise in December 2018 i was shocked to see plain old Budweiser was no longer offered. I spent the first days sampling every beer they had trying to find a substitute. Mich ultra, mich lite, bud lite, just to name a few... Yuck. i spent probably $60 just sampling these terrible beers. Keep in mind all of the above are 4.5% alcohol. if you're a heavy drinker you plain and simple cannot get drunk off 4.5%, dont believe me? get into beer brewing you'll know how big that half a point is... So at that point you're in the premium beer category. Heinekin was the regular 5% but came with a higher price. Other than that the other beers available were very heavy/dark in color. while i like a craft beer or a Sam Adams once in a while, it's not something you can drink all day. As a result I was forced to Heinekin which after 6 or 7 of them is a little too hoppy for my taste and my bar bill skyrocketed buying buckets of heinekin. I dont like the beer package because you're limited to one at a time. i like to get 3 buckets in the morning and stock my stateroom for the day. so anyway... be fair to the OP, no budweiser is a serious issue, and it seriously affected my ability to enjoy my cruise with nothing available that was comparable. I tried, i really tried to find something. but all those lite beers, yuck. then Heinekin, too hoppy for the long haul, then your sam adams and similar, too heavy... BOO Carnival... Please bring Budweiser back.
Your precious little wife couldn't get one specific beer and it turned your cruise into a "nightmare"? Wow, she is overly spoiled and should just be glad she doesn't have any real problems.
Yes I am. Remember, a specific beer that I paid for in advance, probably in a way that you don't know about. It's called the CHEERS PACKAGE.
booking # 5pbh70 carnival cruise line trip long beach to ensenada mexico
To whom it may concern. My name is Cesar Quijas Aranda. My wife and I booked a cruise trip which was scheduled for depparture on friday 2/1/19 and was due for return on 2/4/19. Uppon arriving at the Long Beach port parking structure on Friday February the first, my wife and I picked up on the smell of marijuana (pot) being smoked inside of the structure. As we proceeded looking for a parking spot, we noticed several people smoking joints (marijuana cigarretes). This was a first since we have been on two cruises prior to this one and we had never encountered anything like this. As we walked through the parking lot there were severeal other people smoking pot. My wife and I had to walk around all that in order to enter the check in building without having to walk through a cloud of marijuana smoke . As we entered the building we noticed how many of the other guest looked at my wife and I very indifferently, this was very frustrating considering the fact that we are hispanics. We checked in and boarded the ship. As we entered the ship we waited for the elevator because we had to go down 2 levels to get to our room. After waiting a while, we decided to take the stairs, and as we passed through the other levels there was a stench of weed (marijuana) everywhere. I immediately began to feel ill. I am alergic to Marijuana as it makes me extremely sick, to the point that I lose my breath, my eyes become irritated, I feel like throwing up and I get really bad headaches. I adviced my wife that we should talk to someone about all the illegal acivities taking place on the ship. As we reached our level (R) we turned to enter our hallway, not too long after, we arrived at a barricade. A barricade of Federal agents who were in the process of arresting several suspects. The officers had a drug sniffing dog which was aiding them in their search for drugs. My wife and I were turned away by the officers and told to go around the other hallway to gain acces to our room. This whole situation was very unnerving and even scary, to know that we would have to be confined in a place where criminals resided, in the same floating marijuana smokebox we were in. We entered the room, placed our bags down, and as I continued to grow more, and more ill I decided to go to guest services in the attempt to get the heck of this ship. We spoke to Kym, who was the supervisor in charge of guest services. Kym was very professional and understanding as my wife and I underwent this horrible experience. Kym escorted us to the boarding gate, where we were checked out. As my wife and I walked across the bridge that connects the ship to the building, many people were making racist remarks like, "oh the white people are getting off", at the same time people were giving us dirty looks and questioning why we were getting off the ship. To conclude I am very dissapointed in the experience my wife and I were forced to go through. Never did I imagine that a trip I payed almost $1000 for, in the effort of cheerfully celebrating my wife's birthday would turn out to be such a nightmare. Like I mentioned earlier this would have been our third trip with Carnival Cruise Lines, and instead of having the good time I thought we would have, I felt our safety, and health were compromised. Your company has always been greatly represented by the good memories my family and I have aquired in the last two times we cruised. Unfortunately, I hold you (Carnival Cruise Lines) responsible for allowing my wife and I to be in danger, due to the fact that this type of illegal behaviour should have been stoped well before entering the check in facility, much more the ship. As resolution to this disastrous situation I am asking for a full refund return, in the ammount of $951.04. Photo and video can be provided as proof of the officers inside the ship. I am also sure that US customs will aslo provide records of all the people who were detained and or arrested inside the ship, due to the onboard smuggling of illegal narcotics. I can be reached either by email or phone [protected]@gmail.com or [protected]. I would appreciate your promt attention and response in the resolution of this matter.
sincerly, Cesar Quijas Aranda. 2/4/19

cruise ship ticket purchase
Purchased two cruise ship tickets for a trip on the carnival horizon. Booking no: 3lvs80 for myself joy baker & my husband donald baker as we do each time for about 15 years now. We made payment each month through our carnival mastercard. However at the end of november my card had some suspious activity & was canceled. By the time I found out; I then remember that my final payment was due on my cruise. When I called into carnival to change the payment cuase I could not locate my cruise online-the representative explained my cruise was canceled! She told me that we lost our $300 deposit and that only a little over $800 would be refunded and it was on the way. However it is the end of january and I have not seen any of my money refunded. I need to speak to someone immediately on the refund of my deposit and the money that I paid into carnival just to get my cruise canceled. Your customer service reps simply disregarded my requests for a refund everytime and I will never cruise with carnival nor recommend your cruise line again. We have cruised sometimes two or three times per year now for 15 years. This is ridiculous to just take the deposit money and everything we paid into for this cruise and drop reservations like a hot potatoe. I get the same customer service reps and responses when calling these phone lines. I need to speak to someone in charge to get my refund immediately. I feel stolen from and loyalty to your cruise line as a customer obviously means nothing. I am now on the phone for the third time trying to get my money refunded.
