Praise - Carnival Cruise Line
We recently went on a 6-day cruise from New York to Bermuda. Due to hurricane Humberto, we were informed on embarkation that they would have to re-route the cruise to Charleston, South Carolina, and then head on to Bermuda for just one day, not the two intended.

Ancestry.co.uk silently charging me
In February I signed up for a 14 day free trial to Ancestry.co.uk. Unfortunately I forgot to cancel after the 14 days. Even worst I only just noticed (its now October) that they were charging me!
