Yes. The symptoms weren't consistent with C19, but the 4 were isolated anyway. I guess ships will have to be equipped with quick C19 tests.

quattrohead Posted August 1, 2020 #30 Share Posted August 1, 2020 As soon as we stop "social distancing" this darn virus pops up again. It is going to be a serious problem to start anything up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that some Carnival ships will be cruising from non American ports before December. No way they will be cruising out of an American Port anytime soon. I think March of next year at the earliest if everyone in the US decides to wear a mask and socialy distance. So really, there is no way to know when cruising will actually start again out of the US when you have to factor in the Americans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival remains confident in their decision and until they extend the suspension of operations, we are only able to believe what they say. Carnival is not known for deceptive practices and is a reputable company. They have been acting in good faith this entire time. 🙂 Edited August 1, 2020 by xDisconnections 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said on several occasions they were going to start back and look where we are. So you think now that they say they are going to be starting back during the peak of a pandemic we are supposed to believe them this time. Alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They continue to say, as recent as today, cruising will begin in October from US ports. I'm very in touch with reality, as stated by another member, and I'm aware of Carnival's situation 😉 Edited August 1, 2020 by xDisconnections 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiseboy06 Posted August 1, 2020 #46 Share Posted August 1, 2020 So you guys remember Carnival said they would be starting to cruise in August? Oh yeah I remember lol. Crystal cruises saw the crystal ball. Carnival still wants to play us along when most of us see the crystal ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can their projected dates always be incorrect? They're pretty confident this time -- have some faith. If they know it isn't going to happen, they would tell us due to their esteemed code of ethics. They just said today that October is still on target.

Carnival giving an extra $600 onboard credit to every Tom Dick and Harry (who accepts a 100% FCC for any cancelled Cruise of 6 days or more) is simply unbelievable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised they haven't pulled it yet... They won't need to for October though because we're totally cruising 🙂 Edited August 1, 2020 by xDisconnections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
