Big ole business just itching to get more money from people’s grief… until they’re called out in front of enough people online.

    I doubt she can afford it but if so, she could try to bring a suit against Carnival Cruise lines. They hate negative publicity. Or talk to an AP reporter, maybe they could do a story about it. She could also start a GoFundMe to cover the cost of cancellation but I do hope Carnival Cruise gets a lot of flack for being so inflexible and insensitive and money hungry. Another example of how we get screwed because a large corporation with tons of money is unwilling to bend the rules a bit and must follow every word of their “you have to pay us this” script to the letter, no matter who suffers.

      Why? All she needs to do is send them a copy of the death certificate. That’s how it works, they’re not asking for anything out of the ordinary. That’s simply what you do when someone passes away.

        Carnival Cruise lines has a net worth upward of $19 billion. I truly believe that it won’t bankrupt them to bend the rules and cancel this fare once and for all without causing this undue hardship during this woman’s period of grieving. Yes she can just send a death certificate, but if I were her there’s be a big “FUCK YOU” note attached. And they could bill me (without success) for the remainder of my life as far as that goes.

          No one has to bend any rules. Providing proof of death is an extremely basic process when someone passes away. Net worth, bankruptcy… None of that has any bearing at all on this situation.

          You’re being extremely over dramatic for no reason.

            Obviously you are employed by Carnival and have to follow your pre coded script. But I’m right and no amount of assholery from you can change that fact.

              I have never worked for Carnival of all places lol I just have common sense.

              Look, if you think begging for everything is the way to go through life, have at it. But you don’t need to do that in this situation. It’s far easier to just send them the info and have it taken care of.

              You do you, Karen. Good luck out there.

                Actually you’re just a filthy degenerate father fucking piece of sick filth. So your feedback holds no interest for me. Go be an asshole to people who give a damn.
