Wonder who will be next?

As a resident of Orlando and seeing all that’s going on, it won’t surprise me at all if parks and cruises are closed down/halted within a week.

What are your thoughts on cruises being suspended? My husband seems to think that’s next.

I’d say that depends on where you live. My husband and I will be sailing out of Tampa and live in Orlando, so we could easily self quarantine without taking up valuable space. However I know that many do fly for cruises which would mean a military quarantine.

That seems reasonable to me. Much better than the rumors of the government shutting down cruising for a few months. I’m telling you that we walk around the virus now and just don’t know it yet.

This is all surprising to me because we leave on a Carnival Cruise on Saturday and have followed groups of people sailing before us. They’re not only serving ice cream, but drinks and any buffet food too. I’ve done 13 DCL cruises and it’s shocking to hear that Carnival sounds like they’re being...

Just wanted to say that Carnival released the folllowing today. It’s nice that, other than toppings area (where there are two small ones) everything else, including the buffet will no longer be self serve. I’m sure they’re being more diligent due to their Princess ship situation.

That was Carnival that I posted about and they were giving it in addition to any other credit you had.

I just suspect that you’re going to hear of more and more people sick due to cruises from ALL lines. Clearly nobody is immune to this and in an environment like a cruise even top notch cleaning/hygiene isn’t going to stop this. Even with temp taking at port, there are asymptotic people walking...

I’m supposed to cruise next Saturday and am reconsidering now based on the Grand Princess. Twenty one people tested positive so far and NINETEEN of those are crew members :scared1:

Someone posted that they just boarded the Dream and everyone’s temp was checked, but I’m a little surprised that they’re allowing people to self serve at Cabanas and the drink stations (this is per that person).

i would assume so. I guess they just needed another line to step up first 🤷‍♀️

Sorry! It’s basically says what I had mentioned above, that cruises booked though May 31 can move their date without penalty and that if you choose to go ahead on the cruise you will receive anywhere from $100-$200 stateroom credit. If we go next Saturday, we would get the $150 credit.

Carnival just announced that they’re allowing passengers to cancel and book on a future cruise with no penalty, but if you choose to sail they’ll give you $150 stateroom credit.

I was shocked that our first Carnival in January had baked Alaska! And it was a 3 night cruise!

I imagine referring to the fact if Coronavirus got bad and the Bahamas didn’t allow ships to dock, the same would go for CC since it’s part of the Bahamas. Just a guess.

I do know that the Grand Cayman residents aren’t happy with Carnival because their government has agreed to let Carnival build a port to use for the Mardi Gras, their new, largest ship. I’ve seen the comments from the GC residents and they’re anything but nice. I think that along with the fact...

The ships turned away today are not reporting any illness, so that’s not the case.

I’ve just got to say WOW! Go look at Cruise Law News and their new article talks about how Carnival ships are being turned away from Jamaica and Grand Cayman, but it seems all other lines are allowed to still dock there. Someone said the Magic did today at Grand Cayman. And I’m the comments a...
