Editorial Summary

The creators of Sailaway Magazine discuss receiving a formal letter from Carnival Corporation stating they are banned from all Carnival Group brands, including Cunard, P&O Cruises, and Princess Cruises, for a period of five years. The letter claims the company cannot offer the holiday the individuals are looking for, a reasoning the creators describe as a vague euphemism for being unwelcome. They argue that the ban is actually a response to their critical editorial content and recent discussions regarding cruise cancellations and corporate decisions. The creators highlight that they are being banned as paying customers rather than as a media entity, which they believe sets a worrying precedent for consumer feedback. They compare their situation to other content creators who have successfully reviewed cruise lines critically without facing similar repercussions. Ultimately, the creators conclude that while they are personally barred from sailing with these brands, they will continue to report on the cruise industry and encourage other passengers to provide honest feedback to maintain industry standards.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We believe that you have both clearly demonstrated we cannot offer the holiday that you were looking for.

This is banning us as paying customers and us for well for them not being able to guarantee us the holiday that we're looking for.

It feels personal. They've given their reason on the letter as to why we are now banned for 5 years.

I think it's incredibly worrying right now for any paying customer that goes on any of these cruises.
