Loved this Live, just like all the others. Been lurking for a while and decided to come out into the light to wish you good luck on whatever you decide to do next. With your writing skills I see a book in your future, and I can't wait. Just be sure to post a link to whatever you do on the Tribe thread.

Being 2 TA's did you get, or have thought about getting a Thermal Pass? Goes great with a lot of sea days.

Safe travels - enjoy your cruise!

 Haven't thought about a thermal pass, but the number of sea days we have may change that! Thanks for the idea.

Thank you so much! This place is always so helpful.

We are booked on the 42 day Ultimate Mediterranean & Atlantic passage cruise in November 2024.  When we booked it we decided not to get the HIA package.  Now we are having second thoughts about that.... can we add it now? If yes, how?  Thanks for any info.

Enjoy! I've been lurking for quite a while, decided to make it official! I'm living through you and Jamman, I've got over a year until our next cruise (388 days, but who's counting). May have to sneak another one in the meantime. Bon Voyage, hope you find the perfect margarita.

Your pictures are wonderful! What kind of camera do you have? Looking for one for me....

Thank you for a wonderful review.

We've had a lot of weather changes - Eastern Caribbean changed to Western Caribbean, Western changed to Eastern, port order changed, ports changed, a 7 day turned into a 9 day (thanks Hurricane Frances). Loved every minute! 

For those bites - try "After Bite", best stuff we've found for sand fleas, no see ums or any kind of nasty annoying biting/stinging insect. 

Loved your reviews... all of them.

I got it!  Maybe May? 

Is sitting by the pool on the Sunrise getting ready for sail away. Damn Covid. 

We're booked on the Nov. 2 Sunrise out of Miami. Waiting for final word, like everyone else. We booked this early date (it was originally 10/31) because we wanted to be out of the country on Nov. 3!

Booked on Sunrise out of Miami November 2, still anticipate going, although have not done any of the pre-purchasing I typically do, still wait and hope!

We're hoping along with you. I wish they hadn't changed the port tho, Fort Lauderdale is so much easer for us to drive to. I'll just be happy if we do sail. Time will tell.... fingers crossed.

One down, one still there. We were booked on the Nov. 16 Paradise, that one was cancelled. Nov 2 Sunrise is still on the books - wonder how long that will last. At least we'll have some OBC. 

Mine  showed up this morning too. Was 5 day from FLL, stops in Princess Cays, Grand Turk and Nassau, departing on 10/31 (we've been at sea on Halloween before, lots of fun)

Now:  5 day from Miami, stops in Nassau, Half Moon Cay, and Grand Turk, departing on 11/02.  

I wish we were still boarding in FLL, the drive is so much easier from SW Florida, but we'll deal with it.  We're retired, so date changes are fine with us - kind of glad to be gone during and right after the election (we'll vote early). 

Still have fingers crossed that we actually sail.

July 23 was the date I got email saying departure port and date and itinerary is being changed. As of today August 13 I have not heard anything. Sunrise cruise was originally October 31. Has anyone who was on the Sunrise out of FLL heard anything from Carnival yet? Letter said they have until August 23 to be in contact. Sure would like an update sooner. Maybe it is too early to expect anything.

We're booked on that cruise too. Final payment is due on Aug. 17, so what do we do? No way to pay online with cruise not showing up in Manager. I tried to add it back in, but no luck. The email I got concerning final payment had this:

Ship/ Sail Date: Carnival Sunrise — 11/02/2020 

So I'm going to assume that's the new sail date.  Guess I'll try to call and see if I can make final payment that way. We're retired and live on the west coast of FL, so timing is not a big deal for us. We just want to be on a ship again!

We booked the October 31 sail date for Sunrise. I got an email this morning about final payment due date with the sail date of Nov. 2. Guess that's one way to tell us the new date!  Sure wish we were still sailing out of FLL, it's a much easier drive from SW Florida. But we're just glad to be booked.... and fingers crossed that we'll sail on that date.

We have 2 booked.... October 31, 2020 (just me and DH) and November 16, 2020 (we're cruising with friends).

Fingers are crossed.  

We have friends who we have cruised with several times. We like to make up the backstory for 'interesting' people/couples/groups.  A few drinks in and the stories get pretty interesting! 

I have looked at every folder in my email, nothing.  I'm going to try again.  

I filled out the online form for our cancelled Panama Canal cruise. If you have filled out that form did you get any kind of notification from Princess?

Also, will they cancel excursions we have already paid for, or do I need to do that myself? 

I guess we'll be driving to Oregon.  I don't fly (bad experience lead to sever anxiety), since we need to be there to take care of grandkids 1 & 2 when #3 arrives. It's only about 3200 miles, and we love road trips. Gotta change my packing plans though, no need for sundresses and shorts.

Thanks to all who replied - I will load up his Kindle, just in case. He likes 'real books' better, but the Kindle will be ready if needed. My Kindle is always ready to go!

DH would like to know if there is a library on Island. Or should he just load up the Kindle?  

Thanks for the prompt answers. I found a site to fax from my computer, and the OBC already shows there.

It's so nice to have a place for questions/answers. Thanks again

Is there an email for requesting the OBC for stockholders? 

I've found fax and snail mail address but no email. Thanks for any info.
