You people are dreaming if you think she isn't going out of service for many weeks. That's structural iron. She's gone. Maybe by her scheduled sailing this weekend.

That One Guy Posted December 20, 2019 #77 Share Posted December 20, 2019 10 minutes ago, Wayfairers said: Consider booking a hotel room that be cancelled for the duration of your cruise and have a trip either way...on the cruise ship or in the city you were sailing from. Why have no trip just because the cruise may be cancelled. I'm on this one Sunday (currently scouring everything for news) with a 14 year old and driving 9+ hours to New Orleans. Then it'll be over Christmas when everything is closed. Most weeks, I'd agree that it just becomes a vacation but over Christmas, in New Orleans, and with kids really seems like the worst possible time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The travel agent is trying to get info for us. First time I was in New Orleans was when I was probably 3rd grade. We walked down Bourbon street once or twice but spent our time seeing all the other wonderful things in the city and surrounding area. But I know some folks just don’t want that type of vacation so then it would make sense to cancel. I’m sorry y’all are in this mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier this year I was on a Carnival ship that did the same thing. Apparently we came in too hot and had to go back out to sea and try again slower. We didn't get close enough to the pier to cause alarm but it was a good call by the captain to redo the approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids are still in the "picky eater and needs structure" kind of phase which has made other types of trips more difficult. After a particularly stressful year for our family we purposely picked a laid back, don't have to think, kind of trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipeeinthepool Posted December 20, 2019 #81 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Perhaps they will disembark the current passengers in Cozumel. I would think you would need to seal the area in case the ship got stuck in a major storm. Send the ship directly to shipyard in Freeport.

I thought the ports all require their own Pilots to bring the ships in and out. Good thing in that case you were on they used their captain and not a pilot since he/she was able to deem it a missed approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robc1972 Posted December 20, 2019 #83 Share Posted December 20, 2019 doesn't look like a dry dock would be needed if all the damage is just the dining rooms. Just build a false wall in that corner of the dining room and do the work during port days and during the day when no passengers are in the dining room. No different than when a store in the mall closes and they renovate the inside. Just need to rearrange a few dinner tables to cover everybody, maybe add a few to the my time dining that couldnt get it but wanted it when they booked.

shaneandpamela Posted December 20, 2019 #85 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Wife and I are booked on the NYE cruise on Glory. I'm expecting a cancellation email sometime tomorrow. We will probably grab a room if we can and extend our NOLA visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.T.B. Posted December 20, 2019 #89 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The thing about trying to book a room in NOLA right now is that they're probably booked solid. The Super Dome has the Sugar Bowl on January 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelling_txgal Posted December 20, 2019 #98 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Saw this story and immediately thought about those whose upcoming cruises that could be potentially affected. Bummer especially when you’ve planned and anticipated. I would say stay in constant contact with Carnival but unfortunately it may be a late decision. New Orleans this time of year isn’t bad but it is busy due to college football and the holidays. Good luck.

shaneandpamela Posted December 20, 2019 #99 Share Posted December 20, 2019 We are on the 29th sailing. I just got off the phone with a Carnival PVP and she said that they are planning on sailing the schedule and fixing the damage on the fly. I guess we'll get to NOLA next week and see what happens. At least I'm stuck in NOLA "with nothing to do" if the sailing cancels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottacruises Posted December 20, 2019 #100 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Maybe carnival will work to get you on a ship out of Galveston or elsewhere, if you're willing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
