We are on the same sailing. The Key Bridge Response web page was updated today to show the temporary channel is cleared above and below the surface. So I hope we hear something tomorrow. 

I think this will help. We are on the May 5th Pride Cruise and will also be sailing out if Norfolk. "

Upcoming Carnival cruise date: April 28. The cruise terminal will open for embarking passengers at noon.

Designated cruise parking for Carnival passengers is located at the Cedar Grove lot (1000 Monticello Avenue). 

The parking rate is $15.00/day for passenger cars (up to 15 passenger vans) payable upon entry by cash or credit card. 

The lot will open for parking at 10 a.m. 

Shuttle buses will be provided to deliver passengers to the terminal, including a shuttle for persons with mobility issues. Luggage will be checked in and dropped to baggage handlers at the parking lot. Passengers must tag each bag using the bag tag instructions provided on the Carnival website."

What do you all think...Will we be able to do excursions on our own by next year...or forced to do Carnival ones?

Well I for one sure hope so. We have had 3 cruises canceled in 2020 and 2 already this year. The thing that frustrates me is that if you are over 65, your excursions seem to be sit on the beach or ride in a bus. We are active seniors, own our own Segway's but are restricted from taking a Segway tour because we are over 65. Seriously? Paddle boards?  Not us, we are over 65. Come on Carnival! You want us to sail with you but when do we get to have that FUN you talk about. So booking excursions on our own is the only way we can get off the ship and enjoy our time ashore. Hope all are safe and see you onboard.

Briefly:

• April 15, HAL cancelled our voyage this June (by email). We chose the 125% future cruise credit plus $250 per person OBC option.
• April 18, I booked (essentially) the same voyage for July 2021.
• May 7, HAL sent a message that the credit was available.
• May 8, I called our big-box travel agent to apply the future cruise credit to the April '21 voyage. There was about $795 future cruise credit remaining after transferring it to the  trip (which is in our Mariner accounts). So far, so good.

BUT...

• Rather than applying the FCC as a payment, the cruise package price was reduced to $0...which meant that the $1260 shopping card we were to receive before applying the FCC disappeared (there is still a $25 card shown, their minimum).

 

I'm rather upset about this, since we had already paid in full using the big-box credit card, and the only difference between the cancelled trip and the new one is that we paid for the former directly and the latter had money transferred from HAL.

 

This is not good. Has anyone else had this happen?

We had a FCC with RCL and used it to rebook our cancelled cruise. With the incentive, we were able to upgrade and still had a $$ left. Our travel agent said that the balance would be reissued as a NEW FCC. Might be the same set up. 

I hope you can get tested. Someone tell me why these passengers were not quarantined at the airport. letting 300 potentially infected passengers fly from Atlanta to all points across the US and potentially infect everyone on those planes is just plain irresponsible.  Cruise line, airline and CDC all guilty.

Hello!!!   I came across your post about collecting cruise cabin cards and thought I'd jump in. As you had mentioned I have only collected my own, and wondered what your criteria was. Do you collect any or are you looking for specifics? I have collected mine since 2006 but was wondering when they began using them?  I remember having a steel key on the SS Norway in 93 but can't remember if I had cards for some of my pre 2006 cruises. 3 of them would have been Carnival. Any help would be great. Glad I saw your post... 

 

 

 

I've been writing to ask about cruise-cards, here on the Memorabilia section

and at other CC Message Board locations but it seems no one collects cruise cards

beyond saving their own 'Sail & Sign' cards as a memento, only to be forgotten in a drawer somewhere!

 

I've recently discovered it's not that difficult to ask around among friends and acquaintances

-even in my small island community- to receive cards that turn out to be quite interesting.

 

Now that I have a few different ones (Carnival mostly)

I'm seeing all sorts of major and minor design changes that make a collection worthwhile.

As a collector, you already know that variation is the basis for all collections.

 

 

For what it's worth

here are a few cards I've recently acquired..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After returning from a memorable cruise, most people don't throw out their cruise cards, I'm sure..

they serve as an integral part of your holiday memories.

They get stuck away somewhere, not seeing the light of day for years!

 

Anyone who's been saving their old cruise cards 'for a reason,but not quite sure just what'

might consider donating them to a collector like me? Please? 😕

 

Are there any other cruise-card collectors? -I'd love to know!

 

 

Please have a dig around to see what you can find.

 

 

 

Oh by the way...I live on the Caribbean island of Barbados

and this is one of my local beaches.

 

Thought you might like to see.

My wife and I were onboard HAL Westerdam going through the Panama Canal and some jerk tossed his cigar butt off the deck. Almost made it to the water till it blew back on our balcony. Fortunately it didn't hit anyone. Just rude and inconsiderate along with dangerous.

Hi All ! Is there really such a thing as a bad cruise? I realize that some may not live up to our expectations or you may have a bad experience but come on people.....it's still a cruise. Always better than a day at work or sitting home watching TV. Life is too short to complain about the good stuff.
