Carnival Jubilee Cruise Cancelled

:D How about booking another ship? Princess is moving the Golden to San Juan in May - I've heard wonderful things about her! Carnival has the Destiny, of course. Then, there's the Adventure of the Seas. So many ships - so little time!

Thank you for your consolation folks.

I've become a cruise person, so the land option is out of the question. I've been a landlubber too long. I ache for the open seas.

I'm trying not to panic. I'm working with Spirit Airlines to see if I can fly somewhere else that a ship will be sailing from that has an interesting itinerary.

I also found out that the purchased insurance does not cover airfare if the cruiseline cancels and airfare was not purchased through them.

Wish me luck.

So sorry to hear this, Mebert. Some excellent suggestions were posted here, and it sounds like you have good options. Let us know how it works out with the airline.

I'd go back to Carnival and see what they'll do for you to get you to re-book with them. You'll likely end up eating the cost of these airline tickets either way, but if you can get some kind of cabin credit from Carnival, it could help soften the blow. I also find it hard to beleive that Spirit won't allow a change (admitedly, with a fee of course), this far out. Even Air Canada (the world's worst airline) lets you re-book with a fee.
