what did i tell you about florida and galveston as far as north america.   

 

this time they have the ships and the ports they will be sailing out of.more of a clearer picture .   i think there is some hope here.

I’m glad that I never made final payment on my Encore, July 5th, 2020 Bermuda cruise.

 

But Me and my family are happy and healthy..so far so good. We will become farmers instead of cruisers, for now...

It's a hoax.  Blogger is paid by the cruise lines. 😀

And of course the NYT has a different spin (no wonder we are all confused):

 

"Over the course of Monday, Carnival Cruise Line backtracked several times as it outlined its plans to start sailing this summer. In an initial statement, the company said it planned to “resume cruises” on the eight ships “beginning August 1.”

 

In a second statement, the company played down the possibility of an Aug. 1 start date, saying that “any resumption of cruise operations — whenever that may be — is fully dependent” on discussions with government officials.

 

A spokesman for Carnival Cruise Line, Chris Chiames, said in a separate email that the exact reopening date would be subject to change.

 

“There is no assurance of a return on Aug. 1,” Mr. Chiames said. “Our intent was to convey that we will take a phased-in approach, no matter when that it is, and focus resources and new protocols on a limited number of operations.”

God help the passengers and crew who sail on 1 Aug.

Government is not going to let them sail anytime soon, and August is considered soon.

Its after the 100 days as was the minimum 'most' of us thought would happen. I am still doubtful but hopeful especially for you since you are as optimistic as they come. your prior predictions didnt come true... hopefully this one does

You're no soothsayer but you will call it right one day.

Don't take up gambling 😂

I know Carnivals already said “Some ports” in California won’t have any cruises in August.....I think September on we’ll see cruises start back at a slow pace and then gear up based on how the first ones go and did anymore outbreaks of the virus happen on any ships 

[Trimone]

Board meeting _ How can we get some cash in? What about being first to announce we are sailing August 1st ** Hey everyone who wants a cruise will go for it ! 
$$$$$ and if they want their money back we’ve got it for 90 days....

The End

[Brad1185]

Will not happen until sometime in 2021 unless every passenger gets tested before boarding and the cruise only has sea days with no ports

thats almost 90 days from now.  if bars and restaurants and casinos , beaches will be open, why not cruises in a limited capacity in select ports? 

we have to see how the covid thing settles down, but its looking good for many states that it is coming down right now.

 I certainly hope that you are correct, it's pretty hard to predict at this point. I have a November cruise that I think has a pretty good chance of being cancelled, but I certainly hope that it doesn't happen.

 My wife's work has travel restrictions until August 31st, if either of us leave the state they have to approve her being able to come back to work, they could ask her to self-quarantine for 14 days.

i think that will depend where it is going and what port its out of , chances decrease if its an alaska canada cruise. As i have suspect and this video reiterates, southern north american ports have the best odds .

I can’t wait until 30 days from now when you post another link on why cruises will definitely be starting in September!
