I'm always suspicious when I see posts like this from new members with only a single post. Can we say "agenda".

Yes, it does say "again", but how it is any different than the first time? This topic is being discussed in depth on another thread, and I see no reason to start a new one on the same subject.

I also stand by what I said regarding the member's first post. I remain suspicious. Why wait until now to contribute to the board? Trying to spread the word I guess.

In this case, I must ask, what is YOUR agenda?

Carnival has screwed some more people, again. It is reported, as it should be. And you seem to intimate that there is some sort of dark conspiratorial force in play here. This topic could, and in my opinion, should, be posted far and wide.

It should not be tucked down in the bowels of another posting on the same subject. We all know how far from the originally posted topic subsequent postings can drift.

So let the newcomer tell his/her tale. We can all benefit. This dissemination of information is one of the major elements of merit of Cruise Talk.

I don't have an agenda, except to wonder how this post differs from the first one? It doesn't say it is a different date, and in fact it doesn't say a date at all. I don't deny that it happened, and that Carnival made a huge mistake, but that doesn't change the fact that it's all be said before in another thread and discussed in detail.

I've stated how I feel, and you have done the same. We obviously have our own opinions which is fine. Leave it at that.

Now get off my back already!

I’ve been amazed at how fast anybody with a negative view or experience is pounced and denounced on these forums-on any specific web site. I spoke with my own travel agent where I live, and she has had a group of 8 bumped from Carnival. If I read these forums and was feeling wronged, I’d want to start off with something relevant to me. I’m not even trying to book on carnival and frankly I’m very interested in hearing about these problems. I’m educated enough to put the posts in their proper context and not assume more than what can be safely implied.

It sounds like a different incident. If this type of occurence is increasing then it should get publicized and Carnival should get their noses bloodied publicly every single time they pull this outrageous act. Starting a new thread accomplishes this far better than just adding a new post to an existing thread where it is less likely to get read.

To Fjones2: Thanks for posting. What was the sailing date of the intended cruise?

Obviously I was wrong regarding the OP and their intentions. I had my reasons to suspect otherwise which I won't get into, but none the less I offer my apologies to them. I also feel Carnival totally screwed up and unfairly treated these passengers which I expressed more than once in the other post on this same subject.
