Until they accommodate the Miracle cruisers to Radiance, I assume they will pull those sailings

Last time I was on Splendor was for a Panama Canal transit and they reserved one of the best viewing areas for Diamonds. Kicked everyone else out and upset a bunch of people. Good to have a plan B, C, etc.
We had some great cruises booked on Radiance out of Galveston before they decided to move the ship to CA.
It will be interesting to see if Miracle can do the Hawaii cruise in September or if that one is/will be cancelled?
Been to Roatan a number of times and never felt unsafe. Ship tours, independent tours, sometimes just jumping in a taxi. The cruise line isn't going to take you somewhere unsafe.
There are a number of places along West Bay and the snorkeling can be great. I did like it better before condo city arrived and when it was just a dirt road to get there.
If I win, do I have to pay taxes?
We are required to file an IRS form W-2G for all slot jackpots of $1,200 USD or more and for all table game jackpots and payouts where the odds paid are 300 to1 or higher (e.g. some poker progressives and royal/straight flushes). There is normally no tax withheld on slot jackpots if the winner can provide a valid Social Security Number. If you are unable to provide a valid Social Security Number, however, we are required to withhold taxes at a rate of 29%. All table game payouts subject to tax reporting are also subject to withholding at a rate of 26% (29% if a valid Social Security Number cannot be provided). These tax guidelines are for citizens and permanent residents of the United States only.
Forgot to point out that on at least one night, the late night comedy shows were in the main show lounge, so no lack of seats. It does lose some intimacy, though.
Covid cases are up on land and at sea. Probably a number of passengers on the cruise are or will test positive. The crew is not immune. Maybe check roll call pages? That's how it was on our Dream cruise. Besides the visa issues, another reason for staffing issues.
I think maybe before flu season there will be a combo flu/covid vaccine. I think if Verifly says I'm good to go Carnival will too. Worst case, I think they would retest me at the port even if I have to pay for it. Just my 2 cents. We should find out in a few days what the real Carnival interpretation is.
Carnival doesn't currently have a policy on a second booster but I'm double boosted and plan on another booster in a few months since we have multiple trips to Europe. Approved or not.
