- "Only one in a sample of 1,099 patients infected with the new coronavirus was found to have an incubation period of as long as 24 days, a top Chinese scientist has clarified."

 " Dr Zhong Nanshan, a prominent scientist who is leading a government-appointed panel of experts to help control the coronavirus outbreak, said on Tuesday (Feb 11) that caution is needed because there is not enough evidence to regard 24 days as the longest incubation period for the coronavirus, Xinhua reported."

I'm not going to give paypal my credit card number.  Sorry, it's just not something I do.

I'll check out Allstate.  I've been an Allstate customer for years.  Now if I can just do it on the PC and not on my cell phone.  I tried logging in to Allstate and they want me to download an app.  I'm old fashioned and old and just like to do things on my PC where I know I have a firewall for protection.

Then you sure don't want to give AARP your credit card number.

The site you were posting from was showing the projected position based on the original itinerary.  It was not updated when they switched from east to west.

Thanks for the info!

On the lower right side of the map, it indicates either "planned" or "actual" position.  Ship's itinerary was changed. 

Thank You! Now I know what to look for

I now know that site is unreliable and found the reliable site that shows Allure heading to Cozumel. Sorry for the inaccurate info in the earlier post.

It was from *****, I never said it was right or that I know more than those on it. 

I will be on it 9/1 hopefully. Hope you have a great rest of your trip and make it back 9/1 so I can get on. 

Oops forgot I can't post the source.

This scenario would work for most ships but not allure it is in Cozumel Friday and with the propulsion issues no way would it get in port on Saturday.

It's leaving San Juan Now.     Ships in Nassau on 31/08/2019

What I have learned from this thread. The cheerleaders of Carnival will never accept the facts about the lowering standards and less staff on Carnival. There are even Carnival cheerleader trolls who have never even cruised on Carnival. Lets face it, Carnival is a inferior cruise line.

The Breeze has a bunch of negatives but I felt it was very clean and only the casino stunk.  I will say the buffet area was such a madhouse that it did seem like dishes sat out a lot longer then previous cruises.  I went in a few of the bathrooms and do not remember them being unclean.

 

We had one of our neighbors do the old put their dirty dishes outside our door but I don't blame Carnival for that one but it was an indication of the rudeness we experienced on the Breeze from other passengers.

That is what Carnival tells you to do. They tell you when done with room service please place outside door. It amazes me how people can't read the rules.

First off, my Dad will be wearing a hat and has Carnivals permission, unless you would like to see the very gross surgery he just had a month ago for a brain tumor(yes he is recovering great), It will make sure, if you see it, you will have ZERO appetite, 2nd so called Dining rooms are equal to chiliebees, or it is exactly like the end of the year in my kids  baseball, they have a banquet with dinner and it is exactly like Carnivals MDR's. There is nothing fancy at all about Carnivals Dining, although our family always loves the food and always get a great waiter. So if your sitting at a table with my father and ask him to take off his hat be prepared.

I was told The KEY package is also going to allow those who purchase the KEY package will now include admittance to the Diamond Lounge.

😊As a Cattle rancher, I'm sorry but the steak at Texas Roadhouse is more aged than Carnivals Steak. Carnivals steak house is about the quality of a steak sandwich at Grandys.😊

Now they need to raise Platinum to 150-350 VIFP Points and Diamond to 400 VIFP Points. 🙂

So quit fishing off your balcony Jimbo. 🙂

Still looking for how it makes something worse.  Several cities have implemented straw bans.  How much is trifling btw?  What % is meaningful enough to enact?

"But this well-intentioned campaign assumes that single-use plastics, such as straws and coffee stirrers, have much to do with ocean pollution. And that assumption is based on some highly dubious data. Activists and news mediaoften claim that Americans use 500 million plastic straws per day, for example, which sounds awful. But the source of this figure turns out to be a survey conducted by a nine-year-old. Similarly, two Australian scientists estimate that there are up to 8.3 billion plastic straws scattered on global coastlines. Yet even if all those straws were suddenly washed into the sea, they'd account for about .03 percent of the 8 million metric tons of plastics estimated to enter the oceans in a given year."

"In other words, skipping a plastic straw in your next Bahama Mama may feel conscientious, but it won't make a dent in the garbage patch. So what will?"

"A recent survey by scientists affiliated with Ocean Cleanup, a group developing technologies to reduce ocean plastic, offers one answer. Using surface samples and aerial surveys, the group determined that at least 46 percent of the plastic in the garbage patch by weight comes from a single product: fishing nets. Other fishing gear makes up a good chunk of the rest."

OH NO they have replaced pens with pencils? OMG but what about all the trees being cut down . This is just to much for me. Those poor trees all so these cruise passengers can have pencils , I am in shock.😏

The cheapskates HATE the idea that tipping impacts services.  They are also shocked that bartenders remember who they are.  As my ex used to say as a young bartender, "cash and boobs first".  

As a former bartender I can tell you we see it as a bribe to get better service not a tip. We still gladly excepted the bribe.

They still got a 7 day cruise as they embarked yesterday as usual, they just haven't sailed away yet but all of the ship services like dining, shows and music venues were operating as usual. They even had the sail away deck party. The only difference is they are not moving.

I think out of the three ports, they decided to skip the best one.

The Casino is NOT open.

I think they are going to rename all there ships that violated the environmental laws . This way they can say this ship never violated the law, that was the Triumph that did.😄
