Rare Honolulu Blue Posted June 11, 2021 #26 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'm in receipt of yesterday evening's announcement by Carnival. It covered a lot of ground, but didn't actually say much - other than the official statement of cruises starting in August. Nothing new for the Horizon. I'm not sure if there will be a separate statement on its status tomorrow or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEANMR1 Posted June 11, 2021 Author #27 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Still waiting... I did get an email from Carnival canceling our Aruba excursion so that’s not good news. However when I go on the website it still shows the excursion is available.🤷🏻♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txgranny Posted June 11, 2021 #28 Share Posted June 11, 2021 According to John Heald this morning August cruises from Galveston are fully vaccinated, no under 12 kids. They might have exceptions but it would be past the final payment extension and full refund. Time to cancel, but happy others get to sail 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said all through August. I just did my full refund and will book again when everything gets back to semi normal. I look forward to reading about everyone's awesome cruise reviews, especially Saing Greg! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is they may get the sniffles and for their cohort, it is essentially no different than the flu. Its scienced based with a political and policy twist. It is certainly not because unvaccinated 12 year olds are a menace to themselves and society. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of my cruiselife, every time I see a Seuss Parade and a grandma with grandkids in the parade, I'll be saying to everyone around: "Look everyone, there goes Texas Granny!"

Kind of like how everyone likened all females working in the defense industry during WWll as "Rosie the Riveter". 😁 txgranny, you are about to become famous! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cruiser Posted June 11, 2021 #36 Share Posted June 11, 2021 19 hours ago, JEANMR1 said: We are waiting for tomorrow’s announcement for the Horizon to see if we’re still going on a cruise July 24th. It’s like worse than waiting for Christmas but with possibly bad results. Then again there was that year there were rocks on my side of the Christmas tree… but I digress. We are three vaccinated people but also have a 10-year-old who can’t be vaccinated. First I’m worrying whether or not there will be a cruise, then I’m worrying that it will be a vaccinated cruise, then I’m worrying my son won’t be one of the 5% that still get to go on. I know, first world problems. I just wanna know there’s other people out there like me who are checking the boards about every 10 minutes to see if there’s any scrap of new information. Thanks Looks like they put out the August cruise information and are again postponing releasing protocols for Horizon in July again. Now says it will give more information next week.

Lee Cruiser Posted June 11, 2021 #41 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Is it 100% that Horizon is sailing in July? The very latest protocols on the website talk about July out of Galveston and Alaska, as well as the August cruises, but no mention of Miami in July. https://www.carnival.com/Legal/covid-19-legal-notices/covid-19-guest-protocols?icid=advisory_cruisehealth_052521 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Special nod to MG on 31 July.) They also list the Galveston ships that are also sailing in July. I wouldn't over-interpret that list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've taken my other 2 grandkids on their own special cruise, and loved every moment as they grow too fast. I'll get to cruise w my youngest granddaughter in time and it's all good. Yes, Seuss parade I'm right there! Actually my last cruise in March 2020 ended up being solo during my birthday and I was "adopted " by an awesome family who let me be grandma and included me in their cruise! Have fun everyone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMarc Posted June 11, 2021 #47 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I wish that they would stop making announcements and then totally changing what they said 2 days ago with a new announcement. I wonder what will change on Monday. I can't wait for this roulette ball to stop bouncing and land in a number. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who can catch Covid is a threat to cruising, regardless of how sick they may or may not get. A 11 year old with Covid can still Spread it in port in places with low vaccination rates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
