Carnival’s New Gratuity Sticker Divides Guests, MSC Cancels a Cruise Last Minute, Galveston Delays
MSC Opera guests were shocked to receive cancellation texts just one day before their cruise from Civitavecchia, with MSC blaming technical issues and offering full refunds, expense reimbursement, and rebooking from Livorno for some. Carnival is warning passengers about construction delays in Galveston, with lane closures near the cruise terminals affecting Carnival Breeze and Jubilee sailings and guests urged to allow extra time. And Carnival is sparking debate with a new “Crew Love” sticker added to the Sail & Sign cards of guests who prepay their gratuities, with some cruisers supportive and others worried it could create awkwardness.
