    A Question About Potentially Canceling

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted · Edited by ninjacat123

    I didn't see any mention of guests required to wear masks on board in this posting:

    https://www.cruisehive.com/cruise-line-to-introduce-new-measures-for-return-to-service/39873

    The article did mention a requirement for social distancing and that the crew would be wearing masks.  At the end of the article it stated:

    Similar new procedures are expected from other cruise lines too. We already know that Carnival brands are already working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to implement new rules and protocols and further announcements on this will be made soon.

     

    Please let us know if you find out more info 🙂

    Cruising without a passport

    Here is our situation.  Let me know your thoughts.

    DD was married in September of 2019.  She has a new drivers license with her married name.  She has her marriage certificate.  Her passport has expired and now they aren't processing them.  She will have her birth certificate and an expired passport in her maiden name.  We sail for their anniversary cruise in early September.   Will she be ok with 2 pieces in one name and 2 pieces in another name? Birth certificate and expired passport in maiden name and driver's license and marriage certificate in married name.  Thoughts?

    I would bring all of it.  Is the boarding pass in her married name? If so, I would think the marriage cert would show the change of name from the birth cert and the driver's license is govt approved ID with her married name, which hopefully is the name on the boarding pass. Are you flying to the port? If so, make sure her driver's license qualifies as ID to get on the plane.  If for some reason she would need to fly home from a foreign port, the expired passport might help at the embassy.

    This is what I would do, but I hope others would chime in with more info.  

    Have a wonderful cruise!

    We are sailing 8/22 on the Horizon as well.  My older son's passport expires on 8/11.  He is 15.When we went to the post office in early April, we were advised not to send it in for processing as they are only fulfilling emergency passport requests,  I keep checking the website and it still urges not to send in your documents at this time.  We have had passports for the boys since they were infants and have never sailed without them, but I guess we will take the chance this time if we are able to sail and the passport agency does not get back to normal.

    Carnival's site says if your son is under 16, he needs a birth certificate for cruises that begin and end in a US port.  If he will be 16 or older he needs one of these:

    Photo Identification

    A non-expired government-issued photo I.D. is required of all guests 16 years of age and older. The following are acceptable:

    • Driver's License (a temporary Driver's License with photo is acceptable)
    • Driver's Permit
    • School/Student I.D. (acceptable for guests 16/17/18 years of age)
    • Government-issued identification card including a U.S. Military I.D. with photo (city/state/federal)
    • Government-issued Trusted Traveler Program Membership Card (NEXUS/SENTRI/FAST) - for photo identification use only 

    I have always brought my children's passports even when they were expired.  Have a great cruise!

    And if you look at their website, your ticket contract says that you assume all risk regarding covid-19.  I've seen that they are also requiring a waiver for dining inside the park.

    I had to sign a waiver, have my temperature taken, use hand sanitizer and wear a mask here in SC to get my nails done.  I'm not surprised that Disney is requiring this in their ticket contract.

    Yes, so crazy to see! I see a lot of people posting pictures of themselves there and it is like a ghost town. The last time I was at Disney Springs you could barely walk through the crowds 

    Saw this posted today:

    sounds promising!

    lol, I bought at $24. Ugh. I think a week later it went to under $15.

    I bought in at $32.  It was the lowest I had seen it in years.  Doh!  So I waited and bought more at $8.  Market is looking good today👍

    Backup plan and announcements

    That article pertained to Paradise Cruise Lines and never really said anything about ports that are open to cruise ships.

    The article states:

    The cruise line which offers short round trip cruises to the Bahamas has announced when it will return.

     

    You're correct, it doesn't state specific ports.

    Arnold Donald Interview with Porthole Cruise

    Part two is up and ready for viewing:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdsxqVAECOI

     

     

    A few quick impressions:

     

    • Mr. Donald deemphasized the projected August 1 date, instead saying they will start cruising when ready
    • He hinted at further delays with the Mardi Gras but gave no specifics
    • He said they have two private islands and four private destinations.  I know the islands (Half Moon Cay and Princess Cays).  I assume two of the destinations are Grand Turk and Amber Cove.  But what are the other two?  I thought Costa Maya was a co-op with at least one other cruise line.  And they do have their own dock and terminal in Cozumel, but everybody and their brother goes there.

    I wondered about the "six" private islands/destinations as well.  Dubai sounds exciting!
