Maybe we can let them decide on the components and the implementation. I understand the impact for you. This is uncharted waters. It is entirely possible that they feds reject thw whole thing.
Again, I don't care if the feds reject it or not. If the cruise companies are the one's suggesting they shouldn't allow 70 years olds on their cruise ships, then THEY should implement that immediately. If the Feds were suggesting this, then it would be fair for the cruise industry to push back. But this plan is from the cruise industry. If it is a big enough concern to have been submitted to the government, then it should be accompanied with an immediate implementation on the cruise ships that they own and run.

Plan and execution are different things. I have seen nothing on some of these actions and others are def implemented.
It's the fact that this is a plan that was submitted by the cruise industry trade organization (not the government) just last night that is frustrating. If the cruise industry is suggesting to the government that they restrict everyone 70 and up from getting on a cruise, that shouldn't simply be in a secret plan. It should have been implemented by the industry immediately, knowing that thousands of people are weighing these kinds of decisions right now. If the industry itself is saying we shouldn't let 70 year olds on, then why are they letting 70 year olds on?

Latest on the Pence call to action and the Industry response. More to follow:
This article has some details of the proposal. In it, it says the cruise industry is recommending not letting anyone on board who is 70 or older without a Doctor's note signifying their fitness to sail. If that is the case, especially since it is coming from the cruise industry itself, they better update cancelation protocols now so that travelers who are 70 can cancel outright with a cash refund vs. going through the FCC nonsense.

Thank you to everyone who shared their insight and experiences. Just to be safe, I contacted our travel agent and was able to snag the last double balcony room for my parents on the other side of the ship and up a few decks and a balcony for us up on 9 and far away from the smoke. The upgrade was only $200 for both rooms, so I am satisfied, but I really feel Carnival should be clearer about those rooms on the sixth deck above one of the few concentrated public smoking areas when booking. If I wasn't someone who spent time researching these boards, I would have never found out about it until we were on board and too late... Thanks again!

Hi all- Leaving in a couple weeks on our first cruise on the Dream - but not our first Carnival cruise. We are in 6402, which I know overlooks the Lanai area, but am now reading that some people have had issues with the outdoor smoking area on that deck making its way into the deck 6 balconies. Despite searching, I can't find any detail on where on deck 5 that smoking area is - below our room? Somewhere else? My wife is very sensitive to smoke and I want to be sure that we don't have our balcony enjoyment compromised by that issue. Can anyone offer any guidance on their experiences- and where exactly on deck 5 smoking will be occurring?
Thanks in advance for your help!

That is not what this new plan submitted by the cruise industry yesterday says. That plan, per USA Today, says "According to the proposal, boarding should be denied to any person over the age of 70 years unless they are able to present a doctor's note verifying their fitness for travel on a cruise ship, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly." I can't think of a doctor in this country that would take on the liability of writing a note like that in the United States right now.
