When we called to take them up on that offer, they changed their story and refused. Obviously, we made a mistake. Nobody is arguing that point. The point is we didn't get what we were promised after the fact. End of story.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for commenting on this and for speaking your mind. I think I'm quite through moderating comments and I believe everything has been said that can be said. Tomorrow is a new day and I'm sure we'll put this behind us.<br /><br />Have a great night.<br /><br />johnjohn (the hubby of Jen)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-60527095236118084002010-09-16T01:47:52.118-04:002010-09-16T01:47:52.118-04:00Wow what jerks they are.

I did Carnival once, and as long as you choose a bigger boat (some of the Carnival ones are sort of small and cramped, but the big ones are great) I think Carnival is much better. Celebrity forces you to pay for everything that "isn't included in the price of the trip" which was even down to coffee, use of the gym, some "restaurants," use of the mini golf, etc. I felt like they were trying to pull cash out of my wallet at every turn; on Carnival, most everything was free (except spa treatments and excursions) so my family members could choose vastly different activities without having to spend drastically more money than the cost of cruise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-65978192586687410612010-09-16T01:25:21.847-04:002010-09-16T01:25:21.847-04:00sorry about the trip....sorry about the trip....tiny purple elephantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-60877252627212541152010-09-16T01:17:03.266-04:002010-09-16T01:17:03.266-04:00I'm sorry you missed your vacation and all, bu...I'm sorry you missed your vacation and all, but really?

Did you get their names for a letter?<br /><br />Yes, you made a mistake - it happens, but they gave you some kind of hope and made a promise in the company's name. The company needs to make good on it and not just offer some small discount on a future cruise. I know if I was lied to by the employees of a corporation, I would never utilizing that company's services ever again.<br /><br />I have been looking at taking my daughter on a cruise before she goes off to college next summer.

For the people who were snarky enough to comment that the cruise ship didn't have time to resell the cabin, puh-leeze. That ship was not full. With the amount of money they will make from you for extras (drinks, shore excursions, meal upgrades, gifts, etc.), offering a voucher makes perfect sense. I hope Celebrity Cruises will reconsider.Karylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426150199714370491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-19100456755231899952010-09-15T23:23:53.064-04:002010-09-15T23:23:53.064-04:00Our cruise story is different- here is the short v...Our cruise story is different- here is the short version. Had tickets to cruise Oct, 2009. Last minute we could not go(could not leave a sick child). Knew the tickets were non-refundable. Did not even try. Cruise called -sorry you missed the ship, can you fly to Mexico and board there? Ha, no. Three months later they sent a refund- we did not even ask for!!! So there are some nice guys out there! We cruised in June, 2010 and took the child!Swampgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211312647813247138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-62359512754183291172010-09-15T23:17:00.406-04:002010-09-15T23:17:00.406-04:00That's awful.

I went over the list of documents a hundred times - a valid passport OR a valid government ID and a birth certificate for U.S. citizens starting and ending in the U.S. We had our licenses and original birth certificates. The guy checking the docs said to me, "Oh - you got married." Yeah, 20 years ago! Turns out if the license doesn't match the birth certificate, I need a marriage license. That was, I must point out, NOT on the list of documents needed. Some couples in the waiting room were having family members go to their house, get the license, and fax it. My husband, luckily, had once scanned all our birth certs and marriage license and emailed it to himself, so he borrowed the clerk's smartphone and emailed it to him. If we hadn't been able to get a copy of our license, I wasn't going on that trip.MaryLynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098725938267871683noreply@blogger.com
