This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I recently cruised on the Carnival Luminosa transpacific (September 19th, 2024) to Sydney, Australia. A complaint I would like to be investigated:

1). This one really upset me... to my surprise Carnival Casino operators now charge Casino Players a 3% players service fee to draw players own money to play on Carnival Casino Tables, Craps, Blackjack, Blackjack 21, and son on. Bottom line, Carnival now charges a 3% fee to use players money on their card playing tables. This practise is called... PRICE GOUGING. Not only does the Casino have the "edge" over players chances of winning, they now make sure they are profiting even before you lay your first dollar on the tables... This has got to be an unlawful practice?

While on this cruise I personally spent some $4,000 on Players Tables & Slots and received not one offer of comps... When I complained to the Floor Manager, she offered a Steak Dinner for Two and a bottle of Wine...

Very dissapointed with Carnival Cruise Line...

Claimed loss: On each (3) occasions I was charged a 3% Service FeeMy Name is Robert Shambrookemail address: [protected]@hotmail.com

Desired outcome: ALL 3% SERVICE FEES RETURNED

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback regarding the 3% player service fee in the casino. I can certainly understand why you’re upset, and I appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention.

I’d like to clarify that the fee you’re referring to is associated with the use of credit or debit cards to obtain funds for casino play, which helps cover the costs of providing this service. It’s important to note that many land-based casinos have similar fees when drawing funds from cards or ATMs for gaming purposes. While we understand this might feel unexpected or frustrating, we want to assure you that we aim to remain transparent with our guests and make all charges clear before a transaction is completed.

We genuinely value your feedback and want to ensure that your future gaming experiences are both enjoyable and fair.

Thank you again for your time and feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back onboard in the future for a more positive experience.

Sincerely,

Guest Care Executive, Office of the President
