Carnival Changes Cancellation Policy
Carnival Cruise Lines will be introducing a new Cancellation Policy for all new individual and Group bookings effective September 11, 2010 whereby the cancellation penalty will be the higher of the two amounts between the deposit or 50%/75% penalty window.
For example, if a cancellation occurs during the 50% of the Total Fare penalty window and the 50% penalty is less than the deposit, the cancellation penalty will be the higher deposit amount.
An updated cancellation chart is below:
