I believe that DCL has always been the best for future discounts and such, refunds for partial sailings (like when a 7 night cruise leaves a day late and becomes a 6 night cruise). Seems Carnival hasn't made many decisions yet either. And in a couple of cases where the cruise is shorter, you get a pro-rated refund.
