The CDC Director has not signed off on approval of the booster but is expected to. How were you able to get the booster? Were you in a medical study or similar?

I am a nurse who works home health and exposed to Covid daily; also work a major hospital covid unit 

my son got the booster as well and he still got Covid; with very mild symptoms mainly loss of taste and smell and allergy like symptoms

This is the way.

Going to wait a few days, as I must book with my old booking number (we had loads of OBC too)

I was so ticked off told the girl I was going to do it too.  She told me you know you are on 

a recorded line.  Yes I know that so be careful how you talk to me too 

As for seeing no oxygen for cruising I never noticed a topic on it  

Just received a call from Carnival that they will be canceling our cruise for Super Bowl Sunday 

Why??  My husband was using oxygen but no longer .  Was told that it will not come off unless we canceled and rebook 

Informed us nobody is allowed on any ships through March per their policy 

Was told this is for all ships!!  This is for Covid too.  We are all Covid vaccinated and booster 

Very unhappy !! was so looking forward to cruising 

Since we used a lot of Carnival Gift Cards, we really had no choice and will have to re book by Dec 2021

and book by Sept 2023 

Love the Horizon.  Will be not working that day  lol

I sure hope the Buc's repeat. Being a Pats fan but realizing that loosing Tom and Gronk was 2 of the worst moves ever made in Foxborough i cheer for the Buc's. Going to real interesting week 4 when the Buc's play the Pat's in Foxborough. Yes will be watching games on The Horizon Sept 13

Get to watch my Cowboys on Thanksgiving on the MardiGras in Nov.

Do you mean the Cowgirls  😅😅😅

Being a New Englander (now live in Florida) am still a Pat's fan..  with that being said I 

do follow the Buccaneers since the "goat" and Gronk is on the team. 

I booked a cruise on Super Bowl Sunday 2021 and of course it was delayed ..

Booked again for Super Bowl Sunday 2022... 

Wonder if the Buc's will play again (don't see Pat's doing it soon)

Nothing like watching a "football game vs formal night"  (yes I am a female..)

Let's hope we all can cruise !!!

What is the new price now? 

Think it is $120.00  per cabin;  

used to be under $50.00  

I took advantage of FFTF when it was a fraction of the price (refuse to pay the price now)

Yes, your luggage gets to your room earlier (but not that much earlier )

You get to go to a "special line " at guest service 

Now I will not pay for it.  (unless we have tendered islands and then it's worth it )

.  its extra  $$ money to go to a few different restaurants 

Happy hour a Red Frog

Wondering this could be a HIPPA violation to ask for "medical " information

they do not ask if you had any other immunization or other illness

So how many people will be driving to the port instead of taking a “super spreader” flight?

 

 

Since I live near Daytona Beach ... I will be driving (whole 60 minute drive lol)

Sailing on the Magic Feb 2022 !!

I do agree that being vax is one's choice.. I do know in the state of Mass every child that enters a public school must have the flu vax as well as the other recommendation vaccines.. 

My job as a nurse requires us to be vaccinated including a booster for our child vaccines ( yes it is a choice or work else where 

In my honest opinion I do think by the end of the year everything will be sort of like back to normal

 no mask (unless you chose to wear one) no social distancing and everything will be a full cap

Theme parks here in Florida slowly decreasing requirements 

I really appreciated all the feedback..

and respect anyone opinion.  Thank you

Really miss my cruises;  we had to book asap since CCL canceled us we took the $600 OBC, then booking we got $200;  my CCL shares (got cheap) $100 and free drinks in casino

Even being vax one can still get Covid.  (happened to my DB who wears the best PPE)

Just hoping we do cruise..  we did managed to go to Aruba in Sept 2020 and had to show a negative result (72 hr) PCR prior to flying.  

Had strict protocols and curfews;  however it was the best time ever.  

Now they are requiring to be tested prior to arriving to Aruba and 3 days exiting; as well as "their Covid" insurance .

Hope you have the actual Super Bowl Sunday if that’s what you want. They are adding a week to the season and I heard they were pushing the super bowl back a week. Which could put me cruising on super bowl Sunday in 2023 when I was purposely trying to avoid it.

 

 

We plan on going in Feb 2022..  with the OBC from our last Super Bowl cruise was canceled; we re'd comp I couldn't turned down.. 

I just saw on the news that cruising may start back up in July  Fingers crossed... I have yet another cruise booked for Super Bowl Sunday

Was wondering if "it" was mandated to have the vaccine would you do it?

Realize it's up to one's choice and respect that as well

Do you think we will have to show proof, or get tested prior and after our cruise?

I personally did get both of my vaccines (a nurse and worked the covid unit... and thank god I never once tested positive.. get tested 2x a week too)

If you got back all the money you had invested in the cruise, then your request for the FCC was likely improperly processed. If you only got some of the money back you might be okay. Carnival says that they refund the taxes and port fees regardless of your choice for FCC.

that makes sense;  I knew I gave more than what they gave me.. 

Thank you. 

Happy holidays

I chosen a future cruise (did use carnival gift cards for some of the deposit) with $600 OBC  2 weeks ago.  Yesterday I got a gift card back in the amount I used.

WTheck   I wanted the future cruise and OBC.. 

any sugguestions.

Cruise is canceled as excepted;.. took the 100% plus $600 OBC

On the good side Carnival shares aren't doing too badly.

What do you mean, cancel w/o perks?  Do you mean that the current deal you were offered won't be transferable to another cruise?  Like a casino deal? 

If I had canceled myself last night be no perks.

Must wait till Carnival cancels you.  

I even called Carnival last night;  rep told me oh they are still going...  if I want to cancel; I am more then welcome with  no penalties; but no OBC.  Final payment was Feb 6th.  Ask if I do plan on sailing what credit card do I want to pay off my balance.    NO I am not giving any more monies..

Got my email this am; while it was broadcasting on the news.  

Hopefully those who booked have insurance for flights and etc

Was wondering if I payed for the insurance does that get reimbursed through carnival?

Was on phone with Carnival last night; lady told me no they are still sailing 8 days;  told me she could cancel it with no penalties; but no OBC

Yet this am got email; and saw on news that cruises through Feb are all cancel.

Just got an email that Feb 6 cruise is canceled

All cruises  are  cancel is canceled through Feb 2021

I even called Carnival last night.. wanted me to cancel w/o perks

I am going to wait until they cancel us; (hopefully by Dec 7th.. extended my final payment)

If they don't give us OBC for future cruises then I will opt out; only bad thing I used gift cards 

Will end up doing a nice road trip; possible cross country.

I honestly do think Carnival is hoping people cancel their cruise without penalties; vs them canceling us with OBC

Do not see Carnival doing an 8 day in Feb 2021.

 

Ask Carnival to give me an extension with my Feb 2021 cruise.

Gave us an additional 2 weeks;  hoping they will know by early December.
