Does Carnival now charge to cancel??

Question

Me and my girlfriend just bought a cruiese trip to mexico. Not even 10 minutes later we decided to cancel. They proceeded to tell us over the phone that there is a $300 cancellation fee. What is that all about. Not even 10 minutes later..

Answer 1

Depends when you bought it.   How close is the ship to sailing?     If the ship was sailing within the next 60-75 days, you would lose your deposit.

Answer 2

Did you use a travel agent?  Or was it directly from the cruise line.  If it was a travel agent they are due a fee for the work they put into planning your trip that you chose to cancel....however, they have a bit of leeway and may have been able to reduce your cancelation fee.  If you bought directly from Carnival their policies in general allow no leeway...especially if you bought a cheap cruise or package.  Sorry....but I'm sure the cancellation penalties were disclosed before you closed the deal.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, once you reserve your space there is a cancellation fee if you should decide to cancel.  This is a standard procedure with most cruise lines, and even with airlines.

Answer 4
