    I had a massage on Harmony and it was excellent. The only thing I didn't like is the pre consultation from the form you had to fill out. There was a lot of basic health questions. Then in the pre consultation they asked you about stress and other things. Must have been 5 minutes of talking before the actual massage. Afterwards they tried to upsell you on other treatments. I learned that it's best to write in big letters on the top of the form, "NO SALES PITCHES."

    Yes.. They do the same on CCL to.o

    Carnival and the Numbers Game

    Since I can't cruise, I got out my I-Pad to keep busy.   You may be amazed by the results.   I had heard that Carnival has 33 active ships but will dispose of 6 leaving 27 ships.  Let's say the average total passenger count per ship is 3,000 cruisers.  (Not counting the crew).   So take 3,000 passengers times 27 ships and you get 81,000 cruisers out on the sea.  Now take 3 meals a day times 81,000 passengers and that equals 243,000  total meals a day.  So for a week, take 243,000 times 7 days equals 1,701,000 meals.  So for the year take 50 weeks  (2 weeks for repairs or dry dock)  times 1,701,000 and you get 85,050,000  total meals for the year.  This is a wild guess but let's just say that the cost of a meal  for Carnival  is $6.00.  So 85,050,000 times $6.00 equals $510,300,000 or over half a billion.   So if we do not cruise for a year, just in food alone, that is what the economy would be losing assuming most of the food is bought in the US.   And that is just Carnival.  You also need to add in many ships from the other lines.   Then add in air flights (to and from) and motels and hotels.  They can say all they want about staying home and wearing masks but if you do not have cruises, you may not have money to buy the masks.  

     

    Lots of if's, and's and but's, but had fun doing the numbers.  Bound to bring some rebuttals.  

    Also you going to have cruise lines going out of business in the next couple of months too. That's why the cruise lines wants you to keep re-booking.Over 50% of cruisers are now asking for refunds instead.Just think also about all the different suppliers to these cruise line too and employees.

    Please improve 7 night Caribbean itineraries CCL!

    The reason for few cruises from Florida to Bermuda is geography. From Florida there are multiple Caribbean ports that can be done in 7 days. Florida to Bermuda the most you will get is one or one and a half days in Bermuda and the rest sea days.

     

    Carnival does 7 day cruises to Bermuda....from the northeast. Simply fly to the northeast if you want to do Bermuda. Carnival, Celebrity, NCL and Royal Caribbean have many offerings.

    I cruised on the Carnival Sunshine out of Port Canaveral back on September 21 , 2018 to Bermuda and we spend 2 days there and then went to Gard Turks, this cruise was for 8 days.

    How many days until your next Carnival Cruise?

    265 Days until I sail the Freedom for a 14 day Journey cruise to the Panama Canal out of Galveston, and 635 Days until I sail the Mardi Gras for a B2B out of Port Canaveral.

     

    I will sail next year 2021, canceled my July 4, from March. Will try back NCL and RCL next years.I have not been on them from 15 and 10 years.

    When will you feel comfortable going on a cruise again?

    This is exactly my issue. We’re booked on a British Isles cruise end of September that I’ve been waiting 2 years for but I work in a large health system and there is no way I can get stuck not being able to go back to work. Plus the UK is also in terrible shape. This would have been my first NCL cruise and while I know that Celebrity has beyond exceptional cleaning and hand gel procedures (long before any of this, I’m not sure about NCL and the bottom line is....cruise ships are floating petrie dishes ( and I’m an RN). So sadly we’re 99% sure we’re canceling. 

    You think cruise ships are bad !! checkout airplanes, I am a pilot and can tell you stories, stay away from ships and airplanes until next year.
