THIRD canceled cruise!
3
Dear Carnival customer care, This is the text from your cancellation email: We continue to work on our plans for our return to sailing, but in light of the CDCs decision to extend its no sail order, we have made the decision to cancel some additional cruises for November and December. Regrettably, this impacts your booked cruise, and for that we apologize. Yet if you go to the CDCs website, you'll notice that the no sail order was only extended to October 31st, 2020. Given that the cruise line industry voluntarily suspended cruises until the end of October, WHY CANCEL REMAINING CRUISES (except Florida) FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR?! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced today the extension of a No Sail Order for cruise ships through October 31, 2020. This order continues to suspend passenger operations on cruise ships with the capacity to carry at least 250 passengers in waters subject to U.S. jurisdiction. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/s0930-no-sail-order.html Ironically enough, the White House overrode CDCs recommendation that all cruises from American ports be suspended until February 2021. CDC no sail order expires Halloween of this year (October 31st). So why are you cancelling all American (non Florida) home port cruises? This is the THIRD time you cancelled my cruise, and I am sick and tired of it! If you want the continued loyalty of your guests, you better offer better incentives. But given that you won't, I'm no longer booking future cruises with any Carnival line. Regards, Jerry Crawford Carnival cruiser since 1999 PS: I wonder how Ms. Duffy or Mr. Donald would feel if I wasted their time arranging a meeting or a power lunch, only to show up really late or not at all? PPS: I'm asking for a refund and rebooking my Mexican Riviera cruise on Norwegian Bliss in Dec. NCL offers better perks for silver than you do for gold! User's recommendation: Don't bother booking a cruise UNTIL industry and CDC resolve never-ending COVID restrictions/mandates.
