I have 3 Carnival cruises booked and another one on Princess (under the Carnival Corp. umbrella of cruise lines). While I was disappointed in the Carnival Corp. environmental violations, I feel that there will be a concerted effort to make positive changes. Maybe I'm just an optimist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookbug53 Posted June 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Exactly what part of the environmental fine is suppose to scare me? And I might mention I love the BIG spooky title. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted June 10, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2019 We have double digit cruises booked on Carnival thru February 2021 and will likely book a couple more in the near future. So no I am not afraid to book with Carnival. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been settled. There will be no port blockages, that was all bluster and never was actually ever going to happen. I have three booked. Don't let it be a worry for you. Enjoy! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple cruises booked- I have to admit I was a little worried when I saw they could be blocked from ports. Then I started thinking about that and realized how low the odds of that happening actually are. Still, I am relieved that they came to a settlement. Of course, I would prefer Carnival/Princess/every cruise line follow environmental regulations and stop breaking rules. But I'm also glad no cruises will be blocked.

TNcruising02 Posted June 10, 2019 #15 Share Posted June 10, 2019 No. I have a cruise in less than two weeks and another in September. I have no hesitation about booking a Carnival cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted June 10, 2019 #17 Share Posted June 10, 2019 It would never detour us at all. This year Carnival for Halloween, next year, Sky Princess, Island Princess and Carnival Mardi Gras for Halloween, 2021 Carnival Elation and the Radiance. Plus others.

You still should buy insurance. Not for a judge blocking Carnival lines, but mostly for medical emergencies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree — mauve is a very shady color. Is it pink? Is it purple? Inquiring minds want to know! Nothing to be afraid of — Carnival big wigs knew what was at stake; there is no way they would have risked not sailing from US ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with the post below. Still not a bad idea to buy insurance, but not because of a port stoppage. Thats just alot of bluster, but, life does happen so insurance is never a bad idea :-). Dont worry, and enjoy your cruise, and the lead up to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggielover68 Posted June 10, 2019 #24 Share Posted June 10, 2019 A big corporation did something shady and got caught and fined. Shocker. No. I'm not afraid. I will continue to cruise just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read the cruise contract? Carnival can change ports at its discretion. So don't book if you are this worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
