Creator's Key Takeaways
Well, there's a few things that are assured in life. Uh, death in taxes and the fact that Carnival cruisers get upset about crazy things.
I would be mad, especially if I already booked it thinking I was getting coffee and tea.
Is it a reasonable request? Should Carnival guarantee this Chief's Ravens game and maybe give refunds to everybody if they don't or some sort of compensation or is this person way out?
Congratulations for embarking on the Mermaiden Voyage, the very first voyage, Brilliant Lady out of New York City.
