A large part of that is in the Myrtle Beach area, not Charleston.

Charleston is one of the worst spots in the state.

Not any more. last three days down a lot

Just curious where you read that? I always try and find something but have no idea where to look.

Actually I saw a news report on NBC news about Spanish workers returning to work. Did not specifically say shipyard workers. Figure if they were returning about two weeks ago they would be ready by Dec.

It willpobably be ready as Spain is starting back to work. Think redo was six weeks

My PVP called about my cancelled cruise from Ny. Took my 100 dollar deposit on that cruise and moved it to my Jan Cruise with a 600 dollar obc. It has already gone thru and I have the booking,

8.2 actually.  

You are right.

Saudia Arabia bought like 12 percent of stock for you who believe Carnival will go under

Never knew that but after thinking about it it makes sense because if you prebook they will apply it to your credit card. Just wait and if you want use the casino method and cash in for money on obc. 

Just got cancellation of the Radance in Oct from NY, so they are at least that far behind

Funny, I had a fraudulent charge on my carnival card while I was on a Carnival cruise. It was on the day I returned. They removed the charge and sent me another card. Before I got the card there was another charge made. I gave them the card back.

Yes they do. I am Diamond and on my cruise last month I was off at 730 and friends who just did self assist were off by 8 and caught the same shuttle as me. We were in Miami. 

If you got a refund of cruise fees on an early saver it is refundable because you have already paid it. You can get a check on your return took about two weeks. Got 1500 dollars back. If you have doubt about what kind you have go to guest services and they can tell you.

Well, this is encouraging. Thanks! So these cabins are steps away from this particular deck? Are there chairs out there?

Usually no. 

I had one of these on the Sunrise last year. Cabin is great. Yes if you leave your curtains open at night you will be a show. During the day no one can see i. Your view is a deck with is not heavily used and is often closed because of the wind. I like it because it is several steps out onto the deck and you pay for an interior. I book these when i can get them but usually has to be done quickly. If i cannot get these I book a balcony.

Park4Cruise is a good place in Tampa. It is at the port. Does not look like a great place but I have used it on three occasions. It is a two minute drive to the port and the shuttle does not wait to fill up . IT is a five minute walk. Drivers are efficient and helpful. Do not let the looks fool you.

Used the Hampton Inn Cruiseport North on several occasions. They did nave a shuttle to and from the port . They had hot breakfast which is the normal hotel fast breakfast. The hotel is quiet and clean. Staff is helpful.

FEB 22 they did not check temps. Only did a survey on where you had been  or had a cold ect. Nothing on return on the first of March

Safe Cruise Parking. Used it twice in the last year. This time it was in an enclosed garage with security. The shuttle arrived at the port in ten minutes and was at the port by 730 on our arrival back. 

Stayed in Hampton Inn Cruiseport North week before last. Have stayed there numerous times in the past. It is close to the port, quiet. Rooms are clean and it has a breakfast.

I have a coworker who is frustrated because his wife switched planes in Korea on her way back from 3 days ago and now with the new rules she will be denied boarding next week.  They are traveling with another couple who probably won’t be able to be refunded their money if they cancel, but they don’t want to go if my coworker and his wife don’t go.

it seems silly that this new rule applies to someone who simply switched planes in an airport.

My coworker is considering taking a chance on going since Carnival won’t refund the other couple. And before any person starts slamming me, the argument we have is what difference does it make if she walked from one gate to another in Korea, or if she flew on a different airline that did not stop in Korea but then stood in the immigration line at LAX with passengers who got off the plane from Korea.

Just wondering what is the procedure that the cruise ships are doing to screen people.

They gave a simple form like the previous forms used for checks asking if you had been in certain places including Korea. I think they scanned your passport for visits

It was free for dinner last week on the Horizon. 

It was an photo album on the Horizon last week

It is free for lunch and it's not very good BBQ so I wouldn't bother with dinner.  I definitely wouldn't pay extra for it.  No smoke flavor at all on the Sunrise last week so only tried it once and ended up getting the pasta from the Italian restaurant after a few bites of bad BBQ.  

Was on the Horizon last week and it was the best food on the ship

Just received email from Carnival on what to take and it answers this question. If you do not take bottles bring a prescription. 

If it is a prescribed drug and is controlled it should be taken in the original bottle. Vitamins and such should not matter. If you have a daily pill container and do not want to take the bottle you shuld take a copy of the prescription.
