marshhawk Posted August 26, 2017 #26 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I was wondering why they would go to NOLA to stock up when it looks like NOLA is going to be "iffy" too. But then realized that the bigger ships cant get into Mobile or Tampa. I would just park the ships in Cozumel and party for a couple of days:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 26, 2017 #27 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I got one planned in a few weeks , too late to buy insurance. Then I got a text form some one at sea now, said they ran out of Eggs for Breakfast and no longer have some meats on the buffet as they are running out of fresh foods. Then I read this that said they are going to an other port for more supplies. Yep, next time I will get insurance. http://abc13.com/travel/20000-cruise-ship-passengers-stranded-in-gulf/2341493/ You are joking....right?

Cindy Posted August 26, 2017 #29 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I was surprised the ships had to head to NO to reprovision. I took the Behind the Fun tour on the Conquest, and they said they sail prepared for an extended time at sea in these types of emergencies.

shout19661966 Posted August 26, 2017 #30 Share Posted August 26, 2017 maybe the passengers are using the same logic that people use when a storm is approaching. Load up on eggs, bread and milk. I think they should check cabins and they might find where all the eggs have gone and that is why they ran out. :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summersigh Posted August 26, 2017 #32 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I was surprised the ships had to head to NO to reprovision. I took the Behind the Fun tour on the Conquest, and they said they sail prepared for an extended time at sea in these types of emergencies. I would assume getting "off schedule" provisions in NOLA would be easier than in many smaller cities with cruise ports. It takes, so I've heard on here, around 8 hours one way to go from the Gulf to NOLA - 16 hours + reprovisional time ... a good time killer. DH and I would personally enjoy the ride/views to and from the Gulf and NOLA if we were aboard on of the redirected ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttley Posted August 26, 2017 #33 Share Posted August 26, 2017 i was on the final cruise of the carnival holiday and we ran out of plenty of things. fried chicken, french fries, some of the breakfast juices. in the wee hours of the final night the crew was already packing things up. i saw the bartenders putting all open bottles of booze in boxes and sealing them. yeah i'm a lush who thought maybe the bartenders would give free drinks for us or the crew but nope. darn the cruise line must be cheap and or stupid to waste time saving all open bottles of booze.

IndyDenise Posted August 26, 2017 #36 Share Posted August 26, 2017 So do you think they will get eggs for 3 weeks? Never travel hurricane season without insurance Don't agree! I fly Southwest.. easy peasy to change flights without penalty. If Carnival cancels I'll take the credit and go at a later date.. and vacation elsewhere. The money I save by booking during hurricane season and self insuring gives me better rates, more spending money and less crowded shops!!!

poz222 Posted August 26, 2017 #37 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Without bacon or adequate supply of breakfast meat , I would cancel too! Seems like a perfectly logical decision!!... rolleyes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely true. They ran out of Hollandaise sauce so Eggs Benedict is a problem. All other egg dishes they are fine. The only meat missing from the buffet is the veal brains and head cheese. All other meats are in plentiful supply. Yep, next time I will get insurance. http://abc13.com/travel/20000-cruise-ship-passengers-stranded-in-gulf/2341493/ Good luck.

Midwestgal Posted August 26, 2017 #40 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Is this a joke? Has to be. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Right? Why would anyone think about canceling their cruise due to what's going on right now? I'm sure eggs and meat are plentiful. Sorry to be snarky but come on now let's use you brain.

joepeka Posted August 26, 2017 #43 Share Posted August 26, 2017 anyone who has done the "Behind the Scenes" knows how much food is on the ship. The freezers and walk ins were like warehouses and packed One BtF tour we did was on day 7 of an 8 day cruise and the cold storage lockers were (I'm guessing) about 35-40% full. Except the beer locker - it was only about 15-20% full - imagine that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winddawn Posted August 26, 2017 #49 Share Posted August 26, 2017 This is hilarious. We will just affectionately call the OP "Spoon" for trying to stir the pot. Gotta give OP credit for effort though. As long as they don't run out of rum, all is good. I doubt running out of anything is likely before the original planned cruise days are over.
