There was a holdem table on Celebration in February 2023

Won 3 times in one night on Carnival Horizon!

I don't understand why you just didn't transfer rooms. 

Ship was full.

Just got off Carnival Liberty and everything was good except the noisy neighbors who seemed to think they were the only ones on the ship.  They were up and making noise smoking and partying until at least 3 am.  Called security 2nd night on ship at around 2 am and asked them to ask the neighbors to please be courteous and pipe down so we could sleep.  Security knocked on their door and they did not answer and were very quiet.  No sound came from their room at that time but as soon as security left they started up again.  3rd night on ship they started up again and at 2 am and I asked through the wall for them to please quiet down and they did not.  At 3 am I heard one of them go on their balcony apparently to smoke some weed so I went onto our balcony and asked them to please keep it down or I would call security and the guy said ok.  At 3:15 they were still partying loudly so I called security and I met the guard in the hallway.  I told him which room the noise was coming from and he asked me to go back inside my room which I did.  Heard him knock on their door and someone answer and there was no more noise that night. The last night same thing but I didn't call security because after all it was the last night and I wouldn't have to put up with their behavior again.

Please be mindful and courteous to your neighbors as most cruisers are.  It is no fun trying to wake up at 7 am on 3 or 4 hours sleep.

So glad all of you corrected my statement.  I did not understand the post on Carnival's website and I appreciate everyone correcting me😏  My bad!

I read the following from the Carnival website today:

• Presenting a negative PCR COVID-19 test at check-in, taken between 72 and 24 hours prior to the sailing date (for example, if the sailing is on Saturday, the test may be taken any time from Wednesday through Friday, but not on the morning of embarkation). Unvaccinated guests must take an additional antigen test at embarkation, and test again within 24 hours of debarkation on all cruises longer than 4 days. A US$150 per person charge will be assessed to the guest’s onboard Sail and Sign account to cover the cost of testing, reporting and health and safety screenings. Children under two are exempt from testing requirements.

I requested one on the Breeze in October this year.

I was seated in the dining room at a table for two.  There was a couple at the table next to me.

I had wheelchair assistance in Galveston on my August Cruise and I was taken to the lobby of the ship.

Was on the Breeze in August and pool was very crowded.  Did not even get close to the pools.

The offer would say if the drink offer was for both of you.

I try to get a cabin near the elevators also.

More cases here too. Obvious that unvaccinated people are  going maskless because our percent vaccinated is about 55 and no one masks up at all.  ICU nurses of all people are livid that major health providers want to require masks by September.

Grandson, Granddaughter, and 2 nieces are registered nurses.  Grandson working in ICU at Emory Hospital.  He has to suit up in addition to wearing masks.  Not really masks but PPE.  He has taken care of people who are begging, now that they are sick, for the vaccination.  Says some of the patients probably will not make it.  They are all unvaccinated.  Nieces and granddaughter do not mind the masks.

So, I'm genuinely curious - what, in your mind, does sail away look like?

Well ScottsSweetie I have been on many cruises but none in the last 2 years so maybe I have forgotten what sail away looks like.  I am usually looking out over the railing watching the land go by.  Does that settle your curiosity?

People who are concerned should wait until next year to cruise.  There will be people in close contact on the cruises.  Since they are mostly vaccinated, it's a risk many are willing to take.  

I am vaccinated and I hope to cruise August 7th, however I was surprised seeing the crowd on the Mardi Gras.

The MG is a cluster waiting to happen. 

Omg I hope the Breeze is not going to be like that on the 7th of August.

When we traveled on the adventure in June the virus was much more under control and we felt much more comfortable. now with the Delta variant and the new CDC guidance I would not travel right now with my unvaxxed children and am in the process of canceling our next cruise.  

Deweytrader, how are you this a.m.?  I hope all is ok health wise and you and your son are still feeling ok.

I would see a ship with passengers showing green as a problem more than orange/yellow. Carnival (and all the other lines) *have* to report cases to the CDC, they are under 0 obligation to report them to us. I fully expect to see yellow/orange across the fleet for those that are actively sailing with passengers. 

 

If they are following CDC guidelines and going 95/5, and CDC is not mandating testing/masks for the vaccinated, why does everyone assume the sky is falling? Hell, there was someone in another thread that openly declared "we are mere hours from mandated masks" (paraphrased). Where is the source of that? Why are people seemingly believing it? What we have at this moment is working until it needs to change.

Agree

• Green status means the ship has no reports of cases of COVID-19 or COVID-19-like illness.
• Orange status means the ship has reported cases of COVID-19 but is below the threshold for CDC investigation.
• Yellow status means the ship has met the threshold for CDC investigation because the ship has met one of the following criteria:
  • at or above the investigation threshold for crew COVID-19 cases,
  • at or above the investigation threshold for passenger COVID-19 cases; or
  • state or local health department notified CDC of passenger COVID-19 cases occurring within 5 days of disembarkation.
• Red status means the ship is at or above the threshold for passenger and crew COVID-19 cases. Based on CDC’s investigation, additional precautions, such as returning to port immediately or delaying the next voyage, will be taken if it is suspected that continuing normal operations may subject on board travelers or newly arriving travelers to disease.

Here is the page: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/crew-disembarkations-commercial-travel.html  I would not worry unless it made it to red.  I think yellow and orange are going to be normal.

Thank you I am scheduled to go on the Breeze August 7.

Nah, it’s just an error. Nothing more.

Probably just a clerical error.  Or accounting error.  

Just now, MrMarc said:

Every ship from every company that is sailing or approved for sailing beyond the test phase is yellow or orange, except Miracle, and I don't think they have had passengers on her yet.  The threshold is very low.

MrMarc could you please tell me what code yellow and orange mean?

My son and I both positive are currently quarantining in a hotel in Houston since we live in Connecticut.  My husband and daughter both negative are in quarantine in a separate room. My husband since vaccinated could fly home at any time however my daughter(9) unvaxxed needed needs to quarantine because she was a close exposure for min of 7 days . And needs to continue to test negative...

Do you have any idea as to how long you have to stay at the hotel?   Did you have to tell them you were quarantining when you checked in?  Did Carnival help you find a hotel to quarantine in?   Please excuse all the questions but I want to know what happens when you are quarantined somewhere from home.  I am from Atlanta and would have to quarantine at a hotel if I tested positive.  Also does Carnival notify your airline if you test positive?

I don't think the covid tests given can determine which you have. Positive results have to be sent to different labs for research under a microscope later to determine. It most cases, it is not worth the cost except for CDC decisions trying to identify what variant.

Thank you BoozinCroozin, I don't know what I was thinking.  I guess it was late at night and my brain was too tired to think.  LOL

On board both my son and I were 100% asymptomatic.  Since our time in quarantine I have developed minor symptoms the worst losing my ability to taste/smell. I am mildly stuffed up and have a mild gastrointestinal issue. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate my symptoms a 1.  My son has a mild cough/sniffing.

Thank you for answering.  Are you at home now, still on the ship, or quarantining in a hotel?
