How can Carnival do this - Holiday Ship - What happened to the ship?

Holiday Cruise Ship leaving 12-30-2004

I just got a call from an very upset friend waiting to board the
Holiday at the Mobile, Alabama port.

All they know is something with the ship is broken.

They said they each were issued $100 onboard credit, and the Holiday
New Year Cruise the Western Carribean has had the itinerary changed to
a cruise to NOWHERE. No other explanation.

As everyone knows - the prices are much higher at this time of year and
$200 per cabin is not much compensation. Seems like they could at
least go to Key West, FL.

Does anyone know what happened to the ship?
What options do passengers have?

I call this being .

They have been having engine trouble for the last 2 weeks.

Carnival never attempted to call any passengers at home to notify them
of the changes.

Christmas and New Years Cruises are the most expensive prices and
Carnival makes their best profits from these cruises, no matter how
deceitful they have to be to get a passenger's money.

It looks like they did offer to let the people get a refund if they didn't
want to cruise.

They're not supposed to. That's only if they cancel the
cruise.

Hey, Tom and Linda,

I haven't seen the ball drop in Times Square for at least a decade, but I
absolutely will this evening.

A Happy New Year to the two of you from the three of us.
