I saw a bottle of pure cranberry juice in the fridge, and unknowingly drank 300% the recommended dose of vitamin C, and I'd like to get a second opinion. I'm not totally sure a vitamin C overdose is safe.

let google be your doctor the halls high in vitamin c insist you do not take more than 2, so it must not be healthy.

Water soluble vitamins - such as the B group vitamins and vitamin C - cannot be stored by the body to any great extent, so if you take in more than your body needs, they are simply excreted. Source.

I drink like 300% of vitamin C in orange juice and cranberry juice combined every day - you're fine.

Vitamin C gets flushed out of your system anyway. You can't overdose.

When it says 300% that means your body will only use the 100% for the day, and deposit your extra 200% in waste. Its not a problem.

300% is safe. It's only when you get above the 600% or so mark that you develop symptoms, and even then, they're mild if overdose is not repeated daily.
