Not that I know of. I'll be sailing on the Valor on Sunday.

So far, just Holiday out of Mobile, as jtutak noted to above.

Well I would be disappointed with Carnivals offer. OK so you are refunded the portion of the cruise that is lost, in this case 20 %, and then you are given a $50.pp shipboard credit.

But you have to stay an extra day at a hotel and eat some where, so the extra cost to the consumer could potentially be in the $200 range. Especially if you like to stay at a upscale hotel pre-cruise, which are in the $125 -150 range. Which in this case you may not be able to change last minute, to a more frugal hotel.

Plus you have lost your vacation day, sometimes booked a year in advance. Not everyone has unlimited vacation days off work.

No one has control of the weather, but I would expect a better shipboard credit, plus some other offer for another cruise.

Maybe I'm expecting too much here.

Of course I will never book a cruise again between June 1st and Dec 1st. , in the Caribbean. Did that once, quite a rocky cruise too.

I just got back Sunday from the Voyager of the Seas and we couldn't stop at Freeport because of the storm. The captain said it was to rough to try to dock. It was very rough the day and night before also. I had no problem with that, but shouldn't we have been offered a shipboard credit or future cruise discount? i asked and was told they weren't doing that on this cruise. :tongue:
