conwakr Posted June 18, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I have one booked for the first of October, I can't imagine how glorious it would be to cruise with half capacity. I'm not holding my breath, but I've got my fingers crossed tightly that it goes that way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseboy06 Posted June 18, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2020 They are going to cancel all cruises through September like NCL. They are not “sold out” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted June 18, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'll keep my fingers crossed for you NavyCruiser. I've mentally crossed my September cruise off my list and am beginning to wonder about October. I've never before had two cruises booked in two months, but the October sailing was booked to replace the cancelled March cruise. I admire your optimism.

TNcruising02 Posted June 18, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good luck! I hope it happens. My cruise check in date is soon. It's almost like a cruel joke, but I will continue to hope for the best and am prepared to roll with whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garf Posted June 18, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Carnival will not be sailing until the earliest October or November. I too can't wait to sail, but will book for May, June or July 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a B22B on the Horizon in September which is a replacement for our cancelled Mardi Gras cruise. Oh well, time to start looking again for another cruise. Hope the 125% and $600.00 FCC is still in effect. Good luck to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviela Posted June 18, 2020 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I have my boarding pass and luggage tag as a PDF on my computer. I'll print the morning we leave the house on Halloween. Just my habit developed over more than a half century of travel. I sailed Panorama in January and it was fabulous with a full boat. What word can I use to sail at half capacity? I can hardly wait.

LHARTWICK Posted June 19, 2020 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2020 We are optimists as well but doubt our Oct cruise will sail. And I sure wouldn’t want it to sail if it was going to be one of the first “trial run” cruises! I can’t see anything sailing before November but we’ll see.

PhillyFan33579 Posted June 19, 2020 #12 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I am positive our cruise in September will be cancelled and don’t expect our cruise in October will happen either. I am not a big fan of the CDC right now. The CDC is about as useful as they were in Rhe Walking Desd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggesting it has some sort of animus towards cruise lines makes no sense. Nor I think, is there a shred of evidence to support the suggestion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyCruiser Posted June 19, 2020 Author #15 Share Posted June 19, 2020 As of June 19, The CDC released the following info: - revised its death rate estimate down to just 0.4 percent. - One percent of counties in the country account for more than half of all Covid-19 deaths nationally. - Ten percent of counties account for more than 90 percent of all deaths. - Nearly half of the counties in the country haven’t experienced a single Covid-19 death. - More than 80 percent of all Covid-19 deaths are among those over 65 years old. - Those aged under 55 account for just seven percent of all Covid-19 deaths. - If you are 34 years old or younger, your probability of dying from Covid-19 as of June 3rd was 0.0005 percent. - The overwhelming majority of deaths are among those with at least one other underlying medical condition. - For 7% of the deaths, Covid-19 was the only cause mentioned. - Daily new Covid-19 cases in Florida have risen recently, but this is due to an uptick in testing. - Daily Florida deaths continue to fall—dropping from 51 per day to 34 per day over the last month, according to the 7-day moving average. Figured if number of cases & deaths peaking now, it'll fall off during this hot summer & will be minimal in 62 days. We're in the extremely low risk age bracket with no underlying medical condition, driving to port & not flying in a metal tube packed with hundreds of others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course you never, ever interact with people at risk or who interact with people at risk. 😷 Almost 4,000 new cases in FL today. Over 3,000 yesterday. This suggests a significantly higher infection rate than the national average. FL testing rates come nowhere near accounting for this increase. TX new case rates look to follow a similar path. We can wish all we want, it's not going to change what the virus will do. On the other hand, acknowledging the situation, being patient, and following proven procedures to reduce transmission will more rapidly get us back to cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, the number of cases is of course increasing because testing has increased! The number of deaths is what "flattening the curve" was all about, and those death numbers are decreasing. I'm not one of those who believes the virus isn't real (because it is), but the sheer panic from media coverage is what sent us into a shutdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVI-19 does infect healthy people, even professional atheletes. It can cause significant lung, heart and other damage. We are not sure yet about long term effects. Personally I consider it only prudent to try and avoid a virus that has killed more Americans in the last five months than were killed in the 19 months of American participation in WW1.
