Carnival just cancelled a booked Singapore to Sydney repositioning on Carnival Splendor more than a full year before it was set to sail — leaving guests with a refund, fifty dollars in onboard credit, and nonrefundable flights to Singapore. The September 1, 2027 voyage called at Lombok and Benoa in Indonesia, then Darwin, Cairns, Airlie Beach, and Moreton Island before finishing in Sydney. Carnival confirmed the cancellation the week of July 6, 2026, blaming a revised drydock plan that "no longer fits around the sailing." Would you take the refund and rebook with Carnival, or jump to a rival like Royal Caribbean? Drop your take in the comments — cruisers are split on this one.
