Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently had a sailing on Carnival canceled and what happened wasn't what I expected but it definitely worked out in my favor.

I got more money refunded to me than I expected plus I was still eligible for the future cruise credit with the $300 in onboard credit.

I am definitely a happy customer in this case.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If your cruise is cancelled, opt for the cruise credit to get extra onboard credit.
Check your refund math carefully with the cruise line to ensure you get all your money back.

YouTube Video Description

Having a cruise cancelled isn't fun, but in this case, I came out way better than I thought I would. While Carnival said I would get a 100% cruise credit for my cancelled trip, only half of my cruise fare was kept to apply to a future sailing. The other half -- plus all my taxes, fees, and gratuities were returned. The result is that I got hundreds more returned to me than I expected, while still getting the onboard credit for my next cruise. #Carnival #cruise
