xDisconnections Posted June 15, 2020 #254 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) 12 hours ago, cruiser man 60 said: What I don't understand coming from Europe is how can places like universal & Disney world open when they have 10,000's coming through the doors with lots of kids who don't social distancing yet they can't get a cruise ship going anywhere? Possibly because isolated incidents, if any, have not been publicized or caused mass outbreaks to happen linked to theme parks such as the ones you see with the Diamond Princess and Grand Princess. With that said, we have been experiencing record breaking new cases daily in Florida but some regions in the state pretty much no longer wear masks or social distance. The cruise industry hasn’t been that popular in the eye of the general public recently. I don’t have the same concerns visiting the theme parks in Orlando as I would for a cruise at this point.

TNcruising02 Posted June 15, 2020 #255 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) An amusement park is literally the last place I would visit now. Unless they are sanitizing every single ride after every single person rides it, it will be a huge risk. The thing they have going for them is that anyone who catches the virus at the park is long gone by the time they have severe symptoms. I will take a cruise ship any day over an amusement park as far as risk. Edited June 15, 2020 by TNcruising02 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before COVID, you would see crew members constantly cleaning common areas. Edited June 15, 2020 by Butterbean1000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed theme parks are riskier, but a cruise ship you have to be on for 4 + days with people who can pass along the virus to other passengers then you have an outbreak and you have Grand Princess all over again. I just don't think people are fully thinking through the implications of another outbreak on cruise ship. People seem to be so blinded by the need to get out of the house they will convince themselves of anything and are willing to forget something that happened just over 3 months ago. If you look at the numbers in Texas, Florida, South Carolina, and California they are going up with hospitalizations going up. It is not a great time to be on a big boat with a bunch of people coming from states where the numbers are trending sharply upward. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figmentfreak Posted June 15, 2020 #258 Share Posted June 15, 2020 John Heald posted over the weekend that Carnival has instituted capacity controls on upcoming sailings and once capacity is reached the cruise is removed from the website. He could not say what the lessened capacity for ships is. So now I'm curious what type of capacity they're instituting. I'm scheduled for Sept 12th on Panorama and I definitely would not mind a not so full ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted June 15, 2020 #259 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I would not mind a capacity controlled cruise. If we don't have to wear masks, it may end up being my favorite cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess 50 - 60% capacity. Not enough for them to be profitable, but enough to maybe break even & stop the massive cash outflows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It verifies that once the capacity is reached, all offerings are eliminated. That's important. Thanks helene & bmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsglow Posted June 16, 2020 #266 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Here's my view with a daughter working as a Charge Nurse on the Covid unit and a son as a FEMA senior staffer. We're eventually ALL getting it. If we're not high risk we're fighting it off. Our daughter has absolutely been exposed on the job. And while she has not contracted the disease, she wouldn't visit her 80+ grandparents for anything. That said, she's careful and lives her life. We have the same view about cruising. We're plenty careful in life but I'll be darned if I'm going to sacrifice literally years waiting for 'no risk perfection'. God only gives me so many anyways. We're young and healthy enough to beat it. See you on our September 5-day. Oh, and if CDC pulls the plug we'll live. 14 day Glory awaits after Thanksgiving.

CentralNY1 Posted June 16, 2020 #268 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Interesting that no Carnival ships appear on the CDC table yet. It keeps getting stated that Carnival is waiting on the CDC for guidance but this seems to show that the CDC is awaiting plans from the cruiselines. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/crew-disembarkations-commercial-travel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess technically they do not intend to sail in/from US waters during the No Sail Order but its certainly discouraging to see other cruiselines/ships have already achieved green or provisionally green status.

It is only showing cruise lines that have requested using US ports to disembark crew during the no sail order and Carnival made other arrangements for their crews. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is for cruise lines that want to send crew home from the US via commercial carriers. Other options included chartered flights. Carnival used their ships to send bunches home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseboy06 Posted June 16, 2020 #273 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Sorry, I have a feeling that they would extend the cancellations throughout the Fall, maybe in November........... Removing cruises from the schedules because of "capacity: could be the case, but everyday someone cancels their cruise.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
