We have been fully open since May 13th, and we are at our lowest point of cases and hospitalizations today. We are doing great. So, i have an idea....bring some ships up here and we can cruise on Lake Michigan LOL Bingomamma19, I am so happy that your numbers are down in Wisconsin. We are in AZ and at an all time high. over 1800 cases yesterday. (As in 1 day). Our hospitals are near capacity and so many people still don't get it. I am praying for the day that we can say our numbers our down. God Bless 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe817 Posted June 18, 2020 #53 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Our numbers here in Texas are WAY up too. Opening up is not what the numbers I would like to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More curious to me is that October is still showing 75 sailings available, which (I think) is most of their cruises on most of their ships. Since it's been mentioned by official Carnival sources that they would start with only a few ships, that means they're going to have to get rid of some more. I wonder where and with what ships they plan to start with? Maybe they won't tell us this time?? Anyway, my October cruise on the Horizon is still showing as scheduled, but has not been available to book for at least three weeks now. We'll see what happens.

asalligo Posted June 18, 2020 #56 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Eventually someone has to pull the trigger and be first. Time to end this and get cruising restarted. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan58 Posted June 18, 2020 #57 Share Posted June 18, 2020 In business you stay very close to your competition. All of these Cruise Lines are following each others lead and will continue to announce updates. Hopefully we will get back to our favorite vacation mode: The Big Cruise !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the issue is Carnival is already being sued over their handling of the virus. If they re-open while major competitors do not, then it increases their legal liability if there is an infection spread on board again. The plaintiff will argue NCL knew it wasn't safe to cruise, so Carnival should have known better. It sucks, because we know there is a risk, but are willing to assume it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the lawsuit is not a factor. 1. Lawsuits like these take years going through the legal process. We're not likely to see anything on that until at least 2022 or 2023 2. The basis of the lawsuit is weak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightOne Posted June 18, 2020 #60 Share Posted June 18, 2020 My prediction: We get the bomb dropped on us tomorrow after the markets close. (although it is possible today too) They are trying to get things figured out. I'm expecting to have 3 of my cruises cancelled and I hate it. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsel Posted June 18, 2020 #61 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I expect that they will Cruise from October onwards, although September and August Cruises may be cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinthemed Posted June 19, 2020 #64 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Just booked 4 going to add another for Oct.31st. If canceled will we get full refunds or do we all need insurance for refund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaveWeMetYet Posted June 19, 2020 #65 Share Posted June 19, 2020 No need for insurance. If cancelled you will get a refund or future cruise credit of some sort. Given all that is going on why book a cruise? Why not wait until things settle out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwdtgb Posted June 19, 2020 #68 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I am not optimistic about our August 30 Horizon cruise sailing. The same thing happened with my July 4 cruise on the Breeze. I think we will get the cancelation emails by Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokiehog Posted June 19, 2020 #70 Share Posted June 19, 2020 So how does anyone know that announcement Monday will or will not be Carnival Corp severing ties with CLIA as obviously they have no power over the cruising industry at this point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont want to have to refund money any sooner than they can get away with. Imo we wouldnt know about october for another month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
