Though - my current "window of interest" is 8-7-21. If I'm going into the steakhouse nearly every night, I'm not going to mask up inbetween bites or sips of our champagne (first night) or wine!

We got the same email. We have an August 3rd sailing on the Freedom to Alaska. I am doubtful!

I thought they cancelled Alaska cruises for this year due to the Canadian border closure?

I thought I read somewhere last week, that the U. S. and Canada were opening up negotiations to open up the borders. Anyone else heard that?

Same here.  And I booked using a casino rate, so I keep getting casino emails too (auto generated of course).  It is just so mean to tease us this way, lol.

This article is from March. Nothing came of this effort to circumvent the law.

Sailing on Liberty out of Port Canaveral August 8th and August 13th, BTB. Tried a few mock bookings and got the...Oh Snap! There aren't any cruises with the details you searched for. So I'm going to assume the ship is at capacity, whatever that is.

We are scheduled to cruise on Sunshine out of Charleston on July 1.... Crossing my fingers we get to cruise! 🤞

I hope you are right!  Our itinerary is HMC, that's it!  Should be a slam dunk for Carnival.  I already have JiJi's and Steakhouse booked, a cabana on HMC and a beach bag with towel set ordered.  C'mon Carnival, you want my money!🤑

It's our 30th anniversary!  HMC is so pretty and relaxing.  Love it!

First of all, happy anniversary.  But you do have to realize that your cruise is not going to sail for multiple reasons.   First of all, the CDC said mid summer, which many have stated as July 15, but in reality is August 1.  Secondly,  it's  been speculated that the first 3 ships for Carnival would embark from Galveston and Miami.

So, July 1 from Charleston???? At least you'll get OBC to spend on your new booking.

Thank you for the well wishes! My DH and I are currently lining up back up plans (land-based ones) for our 30th anniversary.  Looking forward to celebrating with my man wherever we are🥰
