Rare Jamman54 Posted March 13, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Now that NCL & RCCL have cancelled cruises for the next 30 days, I think Carnival should do the same. I think it will look bad if they continue to operate. Thoughts? Edited March 13, 2020 by Jamman54 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGACamper Posted March 13, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Shut it down. Offer 100% refund plus FCC to get folks back on board when the all clear is sounded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsnutz Posted March 13, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I guess I’m foolish and/or self absorbed because we board Sunshine in 21 days. If it comes back with a load of sick folks Monday from yesterday’s sailing I may change my tune... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in TX Posted March 13, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I told my husband yesterday this was coming. We have a cruise booked on RCCL leaving April 19th. I told him there is a very good chance we won't sail. So far our sail date isn't one of the ones cancelled but they could very well extend the cancellation past 30 days. I think Carnival will follow suit shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bahacca Posted March 13, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2020 They are already being sued(Carnival Corp, of course) by a couple that were on Grand Princess. If they continue to sail Carnival ships with people, and there is another outbreak, they may as well file Ch. 11 now. Jury and judge will see that all other companies halted business, including one of their own companies! so why not Carnival? They will be viewed as negligent and that they care for the bottom line more than the safety of their passengers and crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the cruise contact next time you sail, you might have another view.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I realize those people who sued are most likely NOT going to be successful unless they are just paid off to shut up. But you know the sue-happy people in the US. There would be some stupid attorney that would take it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrya72 Posted March 13, 2020 #21 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I'm supposed to sail on the Horizon in two weeks. If we start packing now they'll cancel if we wait until last minute they won't. To pack or not to pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in higher ed and we will have to self quarantine. That will burn all of my sick time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to come home having it, not know and infect a bunch of people. If you could easily get tested it would be a different story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Norwegian Sun let everybody board today but made them disembark later in the afternoon. Read that it was because they were only at 40% capacity and would have lost money on the sailing, but that could be a rumor. So, don’t unpack until you are actually moving if you get to board 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted March 13, 2020 #25 Share Posted March 13, 2020 We cancelled our airfare today. Our May 3 sailing probably won’t be in the first wave of cancellations, but once we hear the announcement we will stop waiting for better reimbursement and just cancel under the available deal.
