mac21902 Posted September 6, 2017 #552 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm on hold right now to find out if I can switch my cruise (Carnival Splendor) from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Mobile, AL.....leaving same day (Sept 9). I'm afraid they are going to make me wait though until they officially cancel the Ft. Lauderdale cruise :( Did the let you switch? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrroberts2016 Posted September 6, 2017 #553 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Did the let you switch? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. No....I've gotta wait until Carnival officially cancels the Splendor (I didn't purchase trip insurance), which will probably happen tomorrow at their 1 pm update. Then I have to call back; can switch then for no fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I have to call back; can switch then for no fee. Some of the other cruises we were looking at for the same week to reschedule have already sold out now with other people switching. I didn't purchase insurance either but the website stated we could take a credit to apply to a future cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor_Poke Posted September 6, 2017 #555 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Got our first text from Carnival a little while ago. Basically says the 9/11 Victory sailing is still on for now. Update will come on Saturday at 1 pm. So, we wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikimom Posted September 6, 2017 #556 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Just checked the Port Canaveral website and saw the notice copied below about parking. What does Carnival expect folks who planned to drive (and thus need to park) do? I hope this is an indication that our 9/9 cruise on the Magic will be cancelled. Hurricane Irma Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal Parking Message: Due to the potential impacts that Hurricane Irma may have on the East Central Florida region, all reservations for parking at Port Canaveral Cruise Terminals between Wednesday, September 6, 2017 and Sunday, September 10, 2017 will be cancelled. Anyone who has paid online will be given a full refund to the form of payment provided. This refund should be received within seven days. Emails will be sent out today, to all reservations, with this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac21902 Posted September 6, 2017 #557 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Has anyone been able to switch their cruise? The website says we can but I haven't seen anyone say they have been able too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor_Poke Posted September 6, 2017 #558 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I do some international shipping in my job and just got a memo from our main freight forwarder: "Port closures are already ineffect, with Miami closed Thursday 9/7 until Monday, 9/11, Tampa closed 9/7until Tuesday, 9/12, and San Juan, PR closed until further notice." Obviously the container port and cruise port are much different but this is interesting how cargo is being treated now vs humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleyann Posted September 7, 2017 #575 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I have mixed emotions. I was so looking forward to this vacation. We were driving over to Orlando and doing Disney's and Universal's Halloween parties ..... I have been on a cruise in bad weather and it wasn't pleasant. Although I had no motion sickness, everyone around me did . I was dodging vomit on the floors in the halls, the elevators and witnessed people vomiting in the dining room and coming out with barf bags..... So really, had we gone , the seas would have been rough. God knows, the storm hasn't even hit and it could easily shift position and head in the direction we were diverting too .... We are a alive and breathing. Those beautiful Islands we love and treasure.....are destroyed. Their people so poor to begin with and whose top industry is tourism , can no longer depend on it for God knows how long ....:(:loudcry: At least we are given the opportunity dodge this . Those people didn't ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
