The 12th of Never.

I think I'm on that same one.

And if there is "no vaccine", ever...then we have Covid #20, #21, etc....

I'm thinking this.

The "Spanish Flu" took YEARS to go away. 

However, I still have two cruises booked. I'm thinking the November one ain't happening.

November on the NCL Joy.

I am not comparing the events, I am just using the number as a comparison.  I don't think anyone sees over 90k deaths as ho hum but maybe you do.

And maybe you agree with the SHUT IT ALL DOWN NOW! mentality.

Ho hum.

I don't know about that. Our May 9th sailing has yet to be refunded. I'm sure we will get ours eventually.

 

***UPDATE*** as of this Friday morning (May 22nd). A FULL refund has been credited to the card we used to book the cruise. No class action lawsuit, threats or chargeback disputes needed. 🙂

SO you are saying 30k more than US military killed in Vietnam is a nothing to see here situation.  Alright.  I don't look at it that way.

Did we completely shut down and destroy our economy over that? No. A better metaphor would have been the Hong Kong Flu of 68/69.

And my father died from cancer related to Agent Orange that he got while serving in Vietnam.

Who lied about what.  94,661 deaths in 3 months is not serious?  

Using 328 Million as a rough estimate of the United States population...doing the math here...carry the one......it is....  0.0002886006 Percent and what an estimated 98-99% survival rate for those infected?

I wish I had the self discipline to abandon this site for a good 3 or 4 months. It would certainly help my acid reflux and blood pressure. 

 

This.

How do you eat?

I'm guessing with really, really long utensils. 😉

May 11  cruise was cancelled on March 30 , rebooked same day with a better deal, $325 OBC and a refund for $441.90 , which showed up on card today.      So it does look they are definitely going in order.   

Carnival Cruise Tickets

−$441.90

I don't know about that. Our May 9th sailing has yet to be refunded. I'm sure we will get ours eventually.

Thanks for the info everyone. I forgot that in the USA it’s called “soda”, here in Canada it’s called “pop”. Cheers!

It's "pop" in Minnesota here too. :)

Just got off of the Glory...

Thanks for the awesome review. We are on the Glory December 1. Also with other couples from the Midwest (Minnesota and Iowa).

Oh boo. We use Delta SkyMiles Amex.

Easily my favorite port. Loved it when we stopped on the Vista.

Belize is on our next cruise itinerary. I'm totally checking this out. Thanks!

What perks have you all had through your Carnival PVPs? We've booked a number of cruises with ours and I guess I'm wondering if there is any kind of "reward" for this as opposed to just booking ourselves online. Thanks.

We just impulse booked on the Horizon yesterday. I tell my husband all the time "We can always make more money". He agrees, life is short and life is for living.

This is one of the reasons we were excited about booking on the Horizon. Wanted to checked out The Smokehouse restaurant. John Heald showed a video and it looks like the new beers are available as a "flight" sampler too.

Just booked yesterday. Deluxe Oceanview. 600+ days away but still excited.:):)

On the Vista in August, travelling with an autistic boy, (who we had notified about - and type 1 diabetic too), we were very surprised to be told at checking in that we would be called first at boarding.

 

We actually were the first to board and they did the muster call at embarkation. Hats off to Carnival for that.

That's great to hear and really it's a win/win for everyone.

:)

You're the parent and know your son better than Cruise Critic posters. Maybe talk to your doctor. Every autistic child has different challenges and asking this board is just not right.

Thank you for sharing.

Should I bother getting the FTTF so he doesn't have to deal with the big surge of people and have a melt down? or do they have disability boarding earlier for some? He will be age 11, verbal, but can not handle large loud crowds (think waiting line for southwest at the airport)

Another thing to consider is the muster drill. Contact Carnival beforehand to make special accommodations for the muster drill if you think it's a concern.

Are you planning on flying?

And this, straight from the Carnival page:

If you need general information about accessibility before you cruise, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 or email specialneeds@carnival.com. If you have an ADA complaint, please email us at access@carnival.com.

Call or email with your concerns.

Come to Minnesota in the dead of winter and you would be praying for a few minutes on that balcony.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much, that was very helpful. I guess we will not be getting the package, we drink, but that would be a significant amount...

Yes, the pros and cons and ins and outs of the Cheers! Package has been discussed at length on here. However, we are bringing onboard wine and considered getting a bottle of liquor for the room.

Oh, and since you mentioned Scotch. The last Carnival Fantasy cruise we were on had a Johnnie Walker Scotch Tasting one night in the Duty free store. Worth looking into.
