Re: Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

Like others have mentioned write the cruise line. Since it is a test and complaints are what will be needed to stop it, you need to hopefully add your letter to the complaint list. Unfortunately, all they will probably comp you with is a discount on your next cruise if taken in the next year. My wife and I had some serious issues on our last cruise with Carnival and this is what they offered us, to which my response was " So,our vacation was ruined because of your cruise line but you want me to risk ruining more time off from work and everyday life on another cruise with you? No thank you, you can keep your discount."
At the very least they should have notified you of the change with a mass e-mail or snail mailer, but than again they probably failed to do so since they know they would have lost a good number of reservations. They probably figured once they got you out to sea what can you do about it other than complain? This is why I am a firm believer that it is hard to find good customer service nowadays.

Re: Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

Yeah, damn all that. I've been on one cruise, it was Royal Carribean. I didn't smoke back then but remember people sitting in the casino, bars, and on deck with cigars. I'll be checking before I go on my next one though.

Re: Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

You should state in the letter that you cannot enjoy a good cigar on an open deck like that. No cigar smoker would willingly choose that environment and we all bring our good sticks when we go on vacation. I don't smoke everyday and sometimes I can go weeks in between but you can count on it when I go on vacation one of the things on the list is where can I enjoy my cigars?

Re: Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

Just skip the cruises all together. Go to a nice resort on an island like Jamaica or the Dominican Republic for a week and smoke till you turn green.

Sorry about your luck with the "cigar bar". Glad you had a good time anyway.

Re: Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

I just got back from a cruise to Alaska aboard Royal Carribeans Rhapsody of the Seas ship and they had a regular bar that allowed smoking from 9 pm til 1 am. Other than that you had to smoke outside on one of the decks of the ship. I actually met a member of CS in that bar and he's the one that hooked me up with this site !!!

Re: Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

I don't really think so much of what has happened to the world as what has happened to America. This country has just been overrun with liberals starting and supporting things that were unheard of 20 years ago. It's sad what this country has started to become. Crime is rampant, we're overrun with illegal immigrants, smoking and guns are on their way to becoming illegal, etc.

Re: Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

we need to get the supreme court to deem smoking bans unconstitutional

Re: Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

I agree, but don't see it happening. Not with people like Nancy Pelosi and other shady anti "freedom" politicians lurking in the shadows

Go to an all inclusive resort in Jamaica or the Dominican Republic, much better than being aboard a big boat.
