We went for our test on Wednesday.  We mentioned that we needed it for travel.  The med tech told us to put 'exposure' on the documentation so that they wouldn't have to bill the insurance.

Certainly wouldn't hold my breath for any upgrades.  We've been on 35 cruises with Carnival and only received upgrade offers twice.

Contacted their Special Needs department today.  Portable concentrators are allowed.  Their online documents regarding oxygen is indeed conflicting.  If you select 'Oxygen Dependent' during an online check-in it will lock you out and tell you that you have to cancel.  Best to contact the Special Needs department and let them set it all up for you so there aren't any issues.

We were starting to complete our on-line check-in today for a late April cruise.  Quite surprised to discover that Carnival extended the ban on portable oxygen through the end of June.  They had changed the policy effective 1 April to allow concentrators.  Now I have to cancel this cruise.  Just venting a bit since we've had so many cruises scheduled/cancelled/re-scheduled.

thanks to both of you.

Saw some comments today regarding this but couldn't find anything on the website with dates.  Thanks!

Sotte - you are right on point.  We've done that several times.

We've been on the Magic three times (2018 & 2019).  We're quite fond of the ship and hope you have a great time!

Waiting on our PVP to call us back on this one.  I am oxygen concentrator dependent and have three cruises booked.  Will be interesting to see how they handle it.

Definitely need to follow-up on this topic myself.  If Carnival doesn't allow customers with oxygen concentrators I'll be very disappointed.

We have two scheduled so far.  01/08/2022 and 04/25/2022.

Received an email the other day that it would be available on 3/18.

Not sure how booked the upcoming Ultra's will be....probably full.  We've been on two Ultra's and extremely packed in the casino at all times.  The last one we were on the better half won $1k in free-play and I got a watch.  Depending on when this next one is scheduled we may go.

Agree with many here that requiring vaccinations is the way to go.  Best for everyone.  Who knows though when a good roll-out of vaccinations is going to happen.  Got mine today but the wife isn't 65 yet so she will have to wait.  

We are scheduled for the Panorama for  4/24/21.  We'll see if it goes or not.  Don't have a lot of confidence it will happen though.

Carnival and MSC are gearing up their at-home customer service agents.  Very familiar with a company that does this.  They have two opportunities for Carnival and one for MSC.

April 24, 2021 on the Panorama.  We'll see if it goes.  Had to use some airline credits that expire at the end of May.  It will be a celebration just to get away for a week.  Keeping our fingers crossed and saying a prayer that things improve.

I'm familiar with a company that hires and trains at home agents.  Noticed today an announcement for Carnival and Holland.  Based on training length that would put them operational around mid-December.  It's a small step in the right direction!

We got the email as well.  Ours was the November Hawaii cruise.  Never felt it would go anyway.

My wife has a couple more cruises than me.  All of hers has been with Carnival.  Started in 2005.  Now with a total of 36 cruises and 220 days.  Her most memorable one though was Sep 2019 when she won over $4K on a 5-card straight flush.  We currently have two booked.  Time will tell if we sail.

We took a chance and booked a cruise for Apr 2021, we'll see how things progress.

Our Hawaii cruise was a Premier through the Casino.  In speaking with the casino reps they wouldn't move the deposit but did extend final payment.  Just from the way the rep was talking their wasn't a lot of confidence the cruise would go anyway.

We were able to push back final payment for the Nov 28th Hawaii cruise to Oct 30th.  We'll see how things go between now and then.

We have a late Nov Hawaii cruise out of San Diego.  Doubt it will go though.
