Well, that is really the catch. If you get 5 days at sea and miss ~20 hours in port, how much of a refund is really appropriate? 75% seems like a pretty good deal to me. Of course, that is a separate issue from the public relations mess they seem to have created. Maybe they ought to consider buying some spare parts too.
It sounds like the weather was bad and the ship was over run by kids, but that was going to happen on this cruise regardless. Carnival can't control one and is never going to do anything about the other. That is why people who don't have kids in school usually avoid spring break cruises like the plague...

Certainly not in a good way...
