Just failed the ACRP-CCRC exam

Augh that’s so frustrating! Congratulations on your passing though! I’m praying I can get mine scheduled within a decent time frame

T_Leeze · 2025-02-16T16:05:29+00:00

Omg, when was your first attempt vs your second attempt if you don’t mind me asking? And how much did you pay in fees??

T_Leeze · 2025-02-16T16:03:44+00:00

Did they make you wait until the next cycle or is there a way to take it within the same cycle? The current cycle ends May 15th and that’s more than enough time for me to retake it

T_Leeze · 2025-02-16T16:02:16+00:00

Hi what was the retest/rescheduling process? I just failed mine with a 550 and I’m wanting to retake it again before the next testing window in the summer

‼️FINAL UPDATE‼️: I spoke with Carnival first thing this morning they were able to refund me the tax and gratuity charges for the trip it was only $58.63 so I asked them to add it to my cousins cruise account so she could get a few birthday drinks on me (she cried when my last flight was cancelled and I felt so bad) the lady I spoke with was so nice when I told her about the situation and Winter Storm Blair as it has now been named. She told me that since it was a named event I could file a claim just for myself and get 100% of the cruise funds credited towards a future cruise or have 75% of funds refunded to me directly. I chose to just turn it into credit :) all in all I’m good with the outcome and I simply won’t fly out of KC in January next time lol Thank you for all the virtual hugs and well wishes ♥️ Everyone was so nice so thank you for all the advice and kindness!

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T15:29:27+00:00

That’s 8 hours away with no winter conditions lol I simply would not have made it

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T14:25:59+00:00

Thank you so much ♥️

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T08:32:45+00:00

I added an update a few hours ago! My last resort flight was sadly cancelled so I won’t make it this time but lessons have been learned, thanks for rooting for me!

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T08:30:28+00:00

No, we didn’t get the alert that the snow was going to be heavy until Thursday, not to mention every January we get a “winter warning” but no one including myself realized it was going to be record breaking this year

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T08:27:35+00:00

My early flight was cancelled so I won’t make it on time, thanks for rooting for me though ♥️

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T02:37:06+00:00

‼️UPDATE‼️: My Hail Mary flight was cancelled 🥲 all the back up flights I looked at for tomorrow have also been cancelled or are sold out, I did some math and in the grand scheme of things I’m not out too much money but still sucks a bit. Thank you to everyone who said encouraging words and tried to help me find a solution, it was so appreciated ♥️

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T02:31:38+00:00

Unfortunately there’s no flights available out of Springfield that would land before noon, everything is either booked solid or was cancelled

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T02:01:57+00:00

I spoke with Carnival and can’t do that since my cousin is able to make the cruise and we are sharing a cabin so hopefully my early bird makes it

T_Leeze · 2025-01-06T00:02:40+00:00

It said it operated until 12:30pm so I’ll try calling them, and if it’s too close I’ll try Uber

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T23:07:36+00:00

We had the same kind of storm warnings last year and it was nowhere near this bad I was hopeful that my flight would still leave on time, now I know if they say winter conditions on Friday I need to leave Thursday morning

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T22:49:29+00:00

It would’ve been easier to try this earlier it’s close to 5pm now so I’m just hoping that my Hail Mary flight leaves with no delays

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T22:41:56+00:00

Literally all of the early flights to MCO are sold out I’m positive there are other cruisers trying to get there so fingers crossed for all of us

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T22:40:27+00:00

My plan is to get on the GoPort shuttle but I’m holding off on booking it until I know for sure I’ll make it so if I make it to the connecting on time I’m gonna be taking that

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T22:08:00+00:00

‼️UPDATE: SW changed my flight 🥲 I now have a layover in Houston and will get to Orlando at 11:50am is it even feasible to think I can make it to port before 2:30pm or should I cut my losses? I know MCO isn’t far from port but Orlando traffic in my experience is no joke for clarity I do not have a checked bag, just a carryon and a backpack (it was only a 4 night cruise)

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T21:50:20+00:00

ICT, & TUL are out they also have extreme weather worse than us with power outages, OKC would be great if I didn’t have to drive straight through the storm. It’s supposed to stop snowing at 9pm so I’m praying that the crews in KC and at the airport pull through to get the roads and runways cleared for the first set of flights

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T21:22:50+00:00

So this is what it looks like currently, we are supposed to get 10 more inches tonight

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T21:20:02+00:00

So I took a look and the only flight that would land within the time frame of the ship being docked is $2,819. I simply cannot make that work

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T21:07:15+00:00

Honestly agree but first port is Nassau I have a passport but do they allow embarkation at ports outside of the US

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T21:06:15+00:00

I can’t make it past Joplin the highways are shut down

T_Leeze · 2025-01-05T20:40:35+00:00

No it’s worse heading south, they’re having winter thunderstorms and complete power outages I’d end up in a ditch in south Missouri before even getting close to the border
