Rare Eli_6 Posted March 12, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Someone was asking about what the Houston mayor said in his speech regarding quarantine. I don't recall exactly what he said, but: 1) Galveston is a different city in a different county so what the Houston mayor said would not be mandatory; and 2) my impression was it was with respect to people coming in on flights to IAH from high risk countries. IAH is a huge hub for international travel. Also, it may have been that he was just "recommending" as opposed to making it mandatory. My mother is visiting from San Antonio and apparently they have a bunch of quarantined folks at the airforce base there off some California cruise ship.

dfsti Posted March 12, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Has anyone else heard of diabetics being turned away from boarding? My Type 2 is well-controlled with diet and exercise but I don't want to travel all the way down there (TX) to be denied embarkation. Is there a form my Dr could fill out like for those 70+?

Yes, I have heard that. And John Heald's post on another site seems to confirm diabetes (type I AND II) both are disqualifying conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexTurbo Posted March 12, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hi, new to this forum and new to cruising. My wife and I booked on the Carnival Dream for 3/26. We are both physicians and cannot take a chance on getting quarantined, and now my company has announced that anyone taking a cruise anywhere will be subjected to a 14 day period before they can return to work in the office or the hospital. Needless to say, we can't take this chance. I never received a letter from Carnival concerning the new cancellation/rescheduling policy, and all attempts to call them have been unsuccessful. Today, the phone is not even working. We are very disappointed but have no choice but to reschedule. Is there any other way of contacting Carnival or one of its reps other than the 800 number? I booked the cruise myself online, so no travel agent to work with. Any advice appreciated. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexTurbo Posted March 12, 2020 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Thanks Amyotravel. I found the link, but unfortunately it says nothing about the FCC and rescheduling, just what it would cost me to cancel at present. For those who received a letter from Carnival, does it specify the process for rescheduling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rin1 Posted March 12, 2020 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I was all in...until today. Unfortunately my cruise is planned for Saturday, so I'm beyond the cancellation window and can't get through. I'm hoping they publish a new policy that would give me the confidence that if I cancel online I can get at least a FCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not have to rebook at the time you cancel. Edited March 12, 2020 by bury me at sea To add rebooking info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what you said, if we move it to a new date, we would get to pick a new date and $500 OBC(our cancellation amount)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who received a letter from Carnival, does it specify the process for rescheduling? You can cancel and the penalty amount will go towards a future cruise credit (FCC). You can call at a later date to have the FCC applied to a new future cruise within 1 year of your original sale date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
