No NY Jets Football in the Fall? Man what are we going to do? This would call for "Double Shock Therapy"!!

What????? I've been MIA from my regular a.m. NFL network fix but seriously?? No Steelers? No Jimmy, Terry & company pregame?! Say it isn't so.

this was my shock therapy😮......

and when you guys need a shock absorber in the worst way, just remember: you could be in "no cruising shock" and moderating these boards😱😜😇

Great topic!!!!  Please let's keep it fun and no

Political stuff

Covid talk

statistics

Arguing

😁😁😁😁😁😁

Hi Honolulu Blue!

I'm trying to keep this thread free of Covid stats, discussions and articles. Not that there is anything wrong with your post but so many threads turning into off topic debates I hope you understand.

Happy 4th from  surging worse than ever NC.....

Because no one really knows how cruise lines will handle this, and because you have concerns, why not wait to book till guidelines are established to make an informed decision? 

note:  Watching this carefully: not a debate, statistics or political thread

Thank you so much for the detailed description of the "shore excursion" - we are anxiously looking forward to FINALLY being able to cruise (hopefully, she says) on the Getaway this December.(already had 3 cruises cancelled this year !)

 

Can  you clarify one thing ? - How much actual walking is required ? Do you have to walk very far across the sand ?

I am 73, my husband is 74 - love the idea of sitting in the bungalow by ourselves and eating and drinking - we are not all that fast on our feet anymore.....don't want to have to wear ourselves out just getting to the bungalow !!

 

I do see that the ship has rated this "excursion" as EASY (1)....

 

Thank You !!  Also - agree with your comment on the food in the Haven Restaurant - yup - best there is !! 

Don't get your heart set on this. Covid has just started ramping up on Roatan so may not be any cruise ships this year

Good article .....on topic, informative...😁😉😇

Time out. Off topic, political and death stats. Take a break, take a walk. People are dying. Whatever your political opinion, opinion re CDC, etc. People are dying. Arguing who reports it and how...😕😕😢

Postponing phase 3 for 3 weeks here with over 1000 cases per day and hospitals almost full. We now can't travel to Northeast without quarantine for 14 days on arrival.  But even though we now have mask mandate some sheriffs etc say they will not enforce it and people especially in small towns won't wear them😣😣. Bars and gyms sued Governor to open and lost. 

Gonna be long hot summer. Be well everyone

Yeah!!!! So nice to see a positive story.......

Back to topic???? I've left this one alone .....but it's straying.

I started this thread so we could others know how we're doing. Don't want to turn it into a debate re masks, definitions etc. It's a frustrating time but it's been a good thread for 3 months and If hate to have to close it. Thanks!

This was previously posted

Since cruising now suspended till mid September...at least....going to shut this down as situation in Florida 60 days from now could be relevant. And this really wasn't Carnival related but left it as ships were scheduled to sail from Florida

This thread may last another 30 minutes....it's not about California, New York or grannys shopping habits. I let this stay against my better judgement because cruises depart from FL. Whether it goes now is up to you guys...on topic, respectful and please can the gloom and doom posts ....it's bad..period.  Thank you

Sorry to ask here, that's kind of what the post is about though. I was just curious.

Costa and Carnival Cruise Lines are two of the cruise lines owned by Carnival Corp so the information about Costa regulations when cruising resumes may apply to Carnival Cruise Lines ships. There is a separate forum for Costs Cruises for information and discussion of their ships, itineraries etc.  Sorry for any confusion!

Please stay on topic ....Debating\arguing death statistics and whether one source is better than another is not cruise related and will result in this timely topIc....which is of interest to many... being removed. There are many who just want to discuss cruising.

Thanks!

Okay...............fun topic.......please PLEASE just your plans.....if it gets even slightly into states reopening, covid stats etc it will go.

           Staycation thread is a Covid-free, statistic free, negativity free thread !!!!!

           It might not be your ideal alternative to a Carnival cruise but it is someone's...

I'm going ....I hope... to Myrtle Beach with my girlfriends end of August for a week...seafood, beachy boozy drinks and lots of sun....

Leaving up for links you might want to read but went WAY way off topic so closing

Definitely not re Carnival but may be indicator of what is coming with them. Will leave for now but only if not stays respectful and on topic

. Thanks

Trying to figure out how delete my picture 

again sorry 

I have removed it. Feel free to just post the information without PVP name and phone

I miss Erie......used to go to Northeast, Presque Isle in the summer growing up in Pittsburgh and Zelienople.  Glad things aren't too bad there.

In our Crazy Covid announcement of the day, now with cases going way up here, more in hospital, the 2 big health systems today began allowing hospital visits for the first time since early March!!!  Huh??

People here must think you GET covid from masks and our rates go up, up up.  Glad to hear it's going better in Michigan

Which has nothing to do with the discussion which is the overall likelihood of death when compared to the total population.

 

People can visualize 32 people, they can't comprehend when that is spread out among a group of 29,000,000.

 

 

No, the discussion is supposed to be about wearing masks on cruises. And it's about to go in lockdown since its more a death statistics thread now

Thank you for explaining this guys! I learned something here as well

I see a cloud mushrooming on the horizon😬😧.....

Whatever the outcome of the meeting and whether or not it affects CARNIVAL'S resumption of cruising, in August or otherwise, please keep this respectful, on topic...the usual mumbo jumbo. Not going to have another Covid death statistics, states reopening, mask debating free for all. It's frustrating uncharted waters but so this infighting isn't productive.

Hope all of you are well !
