We've all seen on the news, information concerning the devastating BP Oil Spill. Its effecting the entire gulf coast. So how will it effect a cruise to the Bahamas in Jan.? Its hard to tell. I will keep my eye on it and update everyone, but we can't guess how it will be in 6 months.
I am recommending everyone buy their ticket at current or special rates but not via the "Early Saver Program" You will not be able to get back your deposit no matter when you cancel. Below is a table of how much you lose if you cancel.
You can also buy travel insurance to cover you in case you cancel.
If Carnival cancels then you will have to refund you the full amount. That is what I get from the terms. Read them for yourself.
