This is my 10tgh cruise all with Carnival.We had 8 people in our group.We had 3 cabins. We always fly down to Miami the day before so there is not problems with the plane. When we all got to the Port of Miami we were handed a sheet of paper letting us know that the ports of calls had changed. We were suppose to go to Jamaica and Grand caymen.We went to Key West and Bahamma's.Carnival did offer to give us back our monies we spent for the cruise,,but as far as helping us with the change of flight plans we would have to pay for that..BUt on the same piece of paper that the change of the ports of call,,they did offer 20% discount on a future cruise.That 20% discount did not help us on this cruise.If carnival really was "out to help out the guest"they should have taken 20%-30% off of this cruise.But no dice. If you book a cruise on any Carnival ship,,Please make sure what is below you.We had the lounge that they do the shows in under us..Guess what we got to hear all of the shows and did not even have to leave our cabin.Our floor was even vibrating.There were two shows a night.It was kinda different to lay in our bed and have it vibrate.Guest services did call us after we complained about the noise for the third time and offered to move us up to a different cabin the last night of the cruise,,but only 1 cabin and we had 3 right next to each other. As far as the Captains cocktail party.Carnival in the past have always had the free drinks,not any more they let u buy the drinks for a dollar off. The past guest party we only got 1 each.. As this was my 10th cruise with Carnival,I was a VIP.Meaning at the Information desk or Purser desk I did not have to stand in the line and walk up to the platinum club and got taken next.For being a VIP I got to get off first even before the self assist people,This was good because we had an early flight.Any VIP's out there that may want to do this..DO NOT.In the carousel that they put your luggage on,number 1 was not the only number they do..Guess what,,,we finally got our luggage 1 and a half hour later..BIG Joke. I have never been so disappointed with carnival.I understand the engine had problems that is why we could not go to Jamaica and Grand Carmen's,,but this is the cruise I paid for and should have gotten the monies discounted on not a future cruise.
