The hope is to recover a semblance of a cruise ship season for Alaska’s tourism economy this summer." You can read the rest of the story at the link above.

Italy52 Posted May 14, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2021 AKStafford, THANK you for your post, I appreciate it VERY much. I know we are not out of the woods yet --- will keep our fingers crossed that our August 21st cruise and those of others that are waiting so patiently will sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted May 14, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The passage of this Bill reinforces my belief that bipartisanship is not "dead and buried". Senator Murkowski deserves recognition for her leadership in getting this Bill through the Senate. Senator Sullivan also deserves recognition for his co-sponsorship of the Bill. They are serving their State well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMac72 Posted May 15, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Carnival has already reassigned the Miracle to Seattle to take up the rest of the Alaska season. They have also already reassigned all cabins for my September 14 cruise. My fingers are crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
