‘When she called the real Carnival…’: Expert warns of scammers canceling other travelers’ cruises

Mandy (@mandythecruisepla), a cruise expert, issued a PSA on alleged "scammers" who have a penchant for canceling customers' cruises. She speculated why this might be the case in a viral TikTok.

Mandy references the case of another Carnival Cruise customer who was hit with this scam and ended up paying a deck fee, but the number she called wasn't actually Carnival's line. It appeared the person on the other end of the line wasn't an actual Carnival employee, but someone pulling a long-form con on enthusiastic cruise seekers.
