Get your facts straight. Banned, restricted, decided, warned by a physician not to get the vaccine, all semantics.

The only indicator the general public has is the general pricing and that is higher than it has been for quite a while. That would indicate to me that bookings are up.

Ccl ran up with the other stuff during the recent FOMO (fear of missing out rally) to overbought, now fed is saying stop it right now. We will raise rates until inflation is ramped down. Friday fed speaks. Stock price doesnt reflect current prices or have any relation to cruise prices very much. This week it's about the fed. Unless it's natural gas or oil its struggling. Dont blame the stock price. Let's hope carnival is selling cabins like crazy and can at least speak to when they might be profitable again. ... though I sure wish jubilee prices would go on sale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdr69 Posted August 24, 2022 #40 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Protocols evolving even more so now for European Cruises. GUEST ADVISORYVACCINATION AND TESTING REQUIREMENTS UPDATECARNIVAL PRIDE & CARNIVAL CELEBRATION EUROPEAN DEPARTURES - 2022 August 23, 2022 Dear Carnival Guest, We know you are looking forward to your European sailing and want to update you on vaccination and testing requirements specific to your cruise, as follows: As our protocols continue to evolve, boosters are encouraged but no longer required for guests who are eligible. All Cruises (excluding itineraries with Greece and Spain): All unvaccinated guests, age 5 and older, must provide the negative result of a lab-administered or supervised (by a medical professional), self-administered PCR or antigen COVID test taken up to 3 days before embarkation. Cruises Visiting Greece: All guests, 5 years and older, must present the negative results of a PCR test taken within 3 days before sailing or an antigen test within 2 days before sailing. Vaccinated guests who are eligible for a booster but not boosted are considered unvaccinated and will be subject to additional testing on board which will be provided on a complimentary basis. Due to destination requirements, a document of recovery will not be acceptable for cruises visiting Greece. If a self-test is not supervised by a medical professional, it is not acceptable for travel to Greece. Cruises Visiting Spain: All unvaccinated guests, 12 years and older, need to present the negative results of a PCR test taken within 3 days before sailing or an antigen test within 2 days of sailing. If a self-test is not supervised by a medical professional, it is not acceptable for travel to Spain. We are currently working on updating our Have Fun. Be Safe. COVID-19 protocols webpage but wanted to share this information with you as soon as possible. We look forward to welcoming you on board your Carnival cruise vacation shortly. Sincerely,Colleen Oliverio VP, Guest Services - Contact Centers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched a documentary one time on the cruise lines. Basically what they said, and what people don't realize is, the cruise lines do NOT make their money off the room you book - they make their money off everything else you buy. Drinks, excursions, casino, shopping, specialty restaurants, etc. That is what makes them money. It's like the movies. Your ticket doesn't even get them to break even - its the concessions you buy that makes a movie theater profitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
