Did you get anything refunded from this? What was the final outcome?

Just curious - as we have a trip booked with Carnivale, but we are past RC cruisers - kinda concerned!!

R they supposed to give you 24 hrs notice for bad weather too?  Maybe they did not know 24 hours ago the problem was still there...

BECAUSE THEY ARE KNOWN FOR REROUTEING GUEST WITHOUT NOTICE

I have RARELY seen this happen and don't think when it does it is just Carnival.  I have seen it happen on Royal and NCL as well, it is something they can do, it is written in your documents.  Friends of ours sailed NCL out of NY a little while ago and had warm clothes with them to go to the islands and go rerouted to Canada/NE...they got $100 per person onboard credit for this to buy warmer clothes since they were going to be in much cooler temps...it can happen...would you rather them have not told you and let you get on the ship an then changed it?  I've been to Jamaica, I'll take the Bahamas anyday. 

P.S. You should post this under the Looking for Carnival Assistance, not the Miami Port, the port had nothing to do with this.

No, they refused to give us anything other than what they initially offered which was 20% off of our next carnival cruise which will never happen because I will never board another carnival cruise again.

Poop happens. It is very unfortunate, and I assume there were 2,500 feeling and acting the same way you did. Or were you the only one acting like a 4 y/o? Get on the ship and have fun and make the best of it. As far as you not ever going Carnival again, well, that can be nothing but good news for Carnival and the rest of us. I would never cruise any other line but Carnival.

Carnival can't control what breaks on one of their ships. Gosh, if you were in your car headed for a specific destination and your car broke down, would you complain about having to go somewhere else and let it ruin your week away from home, knowing you still had your hotel, room service, free meals and free entertainment?

Try going with the flow - you'll live longer.

Does anyone know why this message says it's from Suzie in Miami, FL when it hits my e-mail inbox in Explorer?

It is apparent Mr.or Mrs. Angry or whatever you prefer to call yourself, that you are looking for a fight and a bar of soap to wash your mouth, both of which you will not get from me.  I would suggest praying to the almighty to beg him for help to rid yourself of the demons that now posses you, we all have them but you must learn how to suppress your ugliness which you have yet to learn how to do. My last and final words to you are love is much more attractive than hate. Sincerely praying for you.

We wrote to Carnival and they apologized but that was about it.  When you calculate the headache we endured with Carnival it became more expensive than flying.  And the food...they had the same food almost every night with the exception of fine dinning.  Things have really changed.  The recession has affected the level of services you receive on Carnival Cruise lines as well as the perks.

Gosh...I didn't get a hint of anger in anything Robert said.  It may not have been as nice as you might have liked it to be.  And it might not have had the empathy you were looking for when you posted your displeasure.  But I saw A LOT of anger in your original post.  If anyone is angry here, it's definitely not him.  Plus, you came on a Carnival site to complain about Carnival.  It's been my experience in a very short time on this forum that you're not gonna get the kind of sympathy you're looking for in that regard.

It IS definitely unfortunate what you experienced, and I'm sorry for you.  But, shoot...I'm okay with ANY trip away from home.  Joy is in the JOURNEY, not the destination.  Of course, I know I will probably get blasted for that.  For me, life is short and far too precious to spend it with a negative vibe.  That's just me.  I hope things work out for you. 

And Robert...
