Of course I looked around on the internet and I can book the cruise in a better stateroom for less money (including taxes, port charges, etc.) at numerous legitimate businesses. So I then decided to check on "Festiva" and "Vacation Tour and Travel, Inc." and their reputation/complaints. Talk about shady trade practices.

I am considering contacting "Carnival Cruise Line" directly to let them know of the reputation these companies have and the effect it could be having on the "Carnival" name. I can't imagine Carnival wants their brand sullied with this type of sham.
