Port charges are always refundable.

Great airport. Small, no long lines, easy on/off. It's about 35 minutes from Port Canaveral

Huh?? The economy is the operative word!

Carnival stock way down. Cruise lines are struggling with costs, staffing is also a big issue. Maybe we will see survival of the fitness as we have seen with the airlines merging in the past. Travel is challenging and expensive right now and people are rethinking their options in this tanking economy. Hopefully November will see a turn or tides for our economy.

If you drink a lot, then maybe. I, personally, do not drink enough to make the cost attractive.

Not a good forecast for the cruise industry. I read where Carnival Corp is looking to sell Seabourne which is their high-end cruise line. I would also suspect that the shareholder benefit most of us have been use to getting will be looked at very closely in the future. Carnival is not alone, all the cruise lines will be struggling with the economy tanking. I think people are re-thinking their cruise travel plans.

You have got to be kidding!!

Do you get to book a specific category or is it a guarantee cabin?

Not the same issue, but we were on from Vancouver to Seattle (3-4hours) with a grumpy driver, an inoperable toilet facility AND no offer to stop at a rest area.

Once onboard, I believe you can upgrade as long as you haven't used your signature package.

I think IF you book business or first class you can book your seats but not main cabin seats. I only know this because I had main cabin, then rebooked to business class and it was at that point that I could book my seats. I then changed back to main cabin but was not able to book seats once again.

Does MSC match loyalty status you have on other cruise lines?

Missing your point??

I read Cucina will still be open on the Mardi Gras. I also read (and I will have to locate) that CCL will be reducing the number of passengers on ships due to "staffing" issues?? Anyone remember where that was printed?

It was entertaining but truthfully not very good IMO.

Cheaper flying out of Seattle. HAL usually offers bus transfers from VC to Seattle and you go through customs at the border on the bus. Luggage put on the bust in VC and you take it off in Seattle!!

Maybe no longer "free".....I believe you can order for an upcharge in the MDR

And, I was going to add that if you want a better wine, you are not charged the "difference" but the entire price so it is definitely not included.

For us, we felt it was not worth it as the signature drink package did not include bottled water (only canned) and not Pellegrino. We do drink wine, but none of the wines included were very good. We are going to pass.

There is no "back to normal" right now and may not be ever "normal" again. It's all about setting your expectations. I, for one, was just very happy to be out on the sea sailing again, enjoying the sun and fresh air. Your words were well said.

I understand what your saying but cruise lines are trying to financially recover so I think they would be very careful what they disclose (CDC seems to like to "inflate" scenarios). I don't think cruise ships that are experiencing outbreaks are broadcasting numbers while cruising for fear of starting an all out panic (and risk major cancellations). Just my opinion.

I understand CDC does not report ships in International locations.

I believe masks only help you mentally, otherwise the mask mandate would be instituted on cruise ships but it has not been reinstituted.

Think protecting health reasons. Currently ship in Barcelona with covid passengers.
