My family is scheduled to set sail this Saturday. Honestly a modification to the itinerary or a total cancellation would not be devastating to me, it’s a completely different story for my 3 kids ages 12, 10, and 5. They have never been on a cruise before and were given this cruise as a surprise for last years Christmas present. They made a ring calendar with 316 paper rings hung up around our living room for the past year, as they tore down rings every weekend in anticipation of this trip. As of now, I don’t have the heart to tell them there may be a problem. We leave in two days for the long journey to Long Beach in hopes the cruise isn’t cancelled, mainly for them. It’s disappointing to hear this is a recurring issue. For those who say cruisers need to be understanding I agree, as adults we should, but explain that to kids who have been looking forward to this for a year. FCC’s means nothing to them.
