A few different cruise lines took initiative and changed the itineraries of ships heading to Mexico in the near future. However, they won t let customers who are uninterested in sailing to the tropical paradise of San Francisco rebook or get full refunds.
Kathy s Princess Mexican Riviera cruise, leaving from Los Angeles and visiting three different ports in Mexico, has been modified to stop at the ports of San Diego, Santa Barbara and San Francisco! Not exactly the trip she booked.
How can they sell a cruise to Mexico that doesn t even go there? This seems like misrepresentation. If they are concerned about the CDC reports, low airline fares to africa then the cruise should have been canceled, not rerouted to locations totally low airline fares to africa different from those in the original low airline fares to africa itinerary.
Princess maintains that they retain the right to change ports at any time , but this is a change of country! If you go on their web site right now, you will see that the trip due to set sail on May 2 is still called Mexico Riviera low airline fares to africa and still the 3 original Mexican ports listed. Even though they know they are not going there, they continue low airline fares to africa to sell it as if they were.
Their disclaimer I m sure covers them legally. However, all we asked for was the ability to go to Mexico at another time. They refused because we did not buy their insurance. WE did not cancel the cruise to Mexico, PRINCESS canceled it. can anything be done?
I m from San Francisco!!!! So A) I take a cruise from LA back to the cold waters of my hometown or b) reschedule. Unfortunately my job is pretty tight on days off so rescheduling is really off the table too and I would rather get a full refund. Of course Carnival is saying no. Any suggestions on getting my money back? I did pay with my credit card, should I dispute the charges?
(B) Call or omit to call at any port or place or cancel or modify any activity on or off the ship for any reason, including but not limited to inclement weather, labor disturbances, or safety reasons in the sole discretion and judgment of the Carrier or ship s Captain;
I d argue that while Kathy and Brandon s situations fall within the letter of this rule, the port changes mean that travelers are now scheduled for a fundamentally different cruise than the one they booked and paid for.
