I am set sail for a cruise next week (on Sunday the 9th) but we are leaving early for 3 days in LA then leaving on the cruise out of LA on Sunday to MEXICO. My question is, my girlfriend who is dealing with her favorite travel agent (I have much to say about him) said that Carnival Cruise Lines is having problems with sending tickets and itinerary because of Eastern. I guess that Carnival books alot of Eastern filghts and is having problems sending out tickets etc. in fact we are taking I believe United Airlines, does this indeed sound right about Eastern? What if we do not receive our tickets etc by next Thursday? (We are leaving on Friday) should the travel agent keep calling? Thanks in advance Julie-lynn

106.1 | DELAY IN RECEIVING CRUISE TICKETS | FSHQA1::JLORREY | Wed Mar 29 1989 12:17 | 13 | |
You will get your tickets on time. I ran into the same problem last week. I am leaving Friday (3/31) for San Juan taking a few extra days before the FESTIVALE sails on Sunday. I was very concerned last week as we did not yet have our tickets, and they could not even tell us our flight information. The travel agent indicated that this was because of the Eastern strike, and that instead of having tickets available 3-4 weeks prior to the cruise, they were receiving them 7-10 days prior. They assured me there was nothing to be concerned about because we had been confirmed by CARNIVAL, but I was still nervous until I had the tickets in hand. It wouldn't hurt to keep calling your travel agent to check status though. I would think you would get your tickets by the end of the week. | |||||

Yes, I've heard that as well. One of our friends is going on Carnival at an earlier date than yours and they had to rebook the flights and yes, the travel agent handled all that and earned their money. Len | |||||
