lostsoulcruiser Posted April 6, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Got this from Seeking Alpha: Carnival Corp (CCL +1.7%) says the suspension of all operations from U.S. ports has been extended through June 30 as expected. "We know that this is very disappointing to our guests who continue to be eager to sail, and we remain committed to working with the Administration and the CDC to find a workable solution that best serves the interest of public health," says President Christine Duffy. "While we have not made plans to move Carnival Cruise Line ships outside of our U.S. homeports, we may have no choice but to do so in order to resume our operations which have been on 'pause' for over a year," he adds. I wonder where they would startf (Bahamas, etc). Would you go if they started outside of US. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare eroller Posted April 6, 2021 #4 Share Posted April 6, 2021 One BIG word left out of this headline. “May”. Nothing decided yet. Still it didn’t take long for “America’s Cruise Line” to change its tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz123 Posted April 6, 2021 #5 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I think Nassau would be a good kickoff spot....it's either move the ship or CDC will run Carnival into Bankruptcy . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted April 6, 2021 #9 Share Posted April 6, 2021 If Carnival decides to sail from non-US ports, I hope they could offer reasonable flights to these ports. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonsterling Posted April 6, 2021 #11 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm glad they're considering this step- The CDC has unfairly applied ridiculously stringent measures to the cruise lines that have not been applied to hotels, trains (even long distance train travel in far more cramped and close spaces) resorts, casinos or theme parks. At the very most the CDC should simply require vaccinations for all passengers within the age range available for vaccination with no requirement for children under the age of 12 (they've been in school all this time without vaccine anyway) and that should easily suffice but instead they've created a uselessly complex series of steps that is not needed. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tytanbri Posted April 6, 2021 #14 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The Bahamas makes the most sense. The have Half Moon Cay as an island stop and most of their ships are there already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said that they have NOT made plans to start outside of US ports, but that they may have no choice but to do so. I see your point of view and the headline was not meant to be deceiving. NCL has said they are planning on starting in July with only vaccinated passengers from US ports but I did not hear where they would start.

lostsoulcruiser Posted April 6, 2021 Author #18 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Follow up to post from Seeking Alpha: Cruise line stocks rally after CDC said to allow mid-summer cruise restart Apr. 06, 2021 4:40 PM ETCarnival Corporation & Plc (CCL)By: Clark Schultz, SA News Editor Cruise line stocks are higher in after-hours trading after the CDC is reported to have said that cruises can start back up the middle part of this summer with restrictions. The details aren't in yet but the headline is enough to prompt some buying action from investors. Yesterday, reports indicated that cruise companies do not need to mandate vaccines in order to resume travel. Carnival (NYSE:CCL) is 3.81% higher in the late session, while Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE:NCLH) is 1.85% higher. Royal Caribbean is up 3.33%. Analysts have been warming up to the cruise line sector over the last few weeks (Citi, Stifel). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted April 6, 2021 #19 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Carnival has no choice at this point. Either the CDC or Desantis has to blink. Carnival is going to have to require passengers be vaccinated to restart. Carnival wants no part of being the Covid Cruise Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted April 6, 2021 #20 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The CDC said cruise could restart after test cruises. A 30 lead time applying for test cruises that could begin 60 days later would be in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you continue to believe that the CDC is working towards a restart prior to COVID being a non threat anymore your only kidding yourself. I agree with the one article I read that the "Conditional Sail Order" is essentially a "NO SAIL ORDER" dressed up in wrapping paper to look nice. Cruising has been paused for well over a year based on useless out of date data while the Airlines that continue to bring us variants from other countries are allowed to carry on like nothings changed. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to shuttle 1000 people from San Diego to Ensenada? lol What would be more realistic is Cabo or Puerto Vallarta. Both have large airports to support the flights from the US.

I see posts here who want to push nassau to use it with rcl, which I find unlikely. Carnival needs to find it own ports. Carnival is just saber rattling imo. Hasnt done anything but sit back and hope and now saying well maybe... Here is there ncl is leaving from. ...one is jamaica. Oh boy. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
