Cancelled Cruise

Ugggg. We decided to cancel the cruise that were going to take to the Bahamas Dec. 13-20th. There are a few reasons with the main one being the cost was going to be quite a bit more than we anticipated. Do you know that we'd have to pay $15 a day to park at the port parking lot in Charleston? Plus, when I made the reservation I specifically asked if the stated cost included gratuities. I was told yes but later I found out I was given incorrect information. We've talked to several customer service reps. and managers and they are not willing to compensate us for the misinformation (give us credit for the money we'd spend on gratuities - which is actually fairly expensive).

I made the reservation before the economy took a nose-dive. We are going to lose our deposit money, which makes us sick, but when we crunched the numbers it made sense to cancel. I think it will cost $350 to cancel. Uggg, can you see my heart sink? But we figured it would be better to lose the $350 than to go through with it. Finally, I don't feel good about being on the water in my condition. I can't tell you what that is right now but I hope to soon.
