villager70 Posted August 27, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2020 On the 600am News this morning Orlando Television Station WFTV channel 9 interviewed The Port Authority chairman yesterday and he stated the port will probably not open for passengers for cruises until at least Jan. He gave the same info that has been talked about that they will start with one ship from lines doing short cruises. This does not sound good at all for my next one on Harmony in Nov. We have Royal,Disney, Carnival, Norwegian that currently do departures from Canaveral 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyFan33579 Posted August 27, 2020 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Nothing really surprising in that report. I think most people have accepted the unfortunate likelihood that cruising will not resume this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrednole Posted August 27, 2020 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2020 No surprise at all. It won't happen until the cruise lines identify their plans and financial responsibility in case a quarantine is required. Most of the US will not sail with the threat of mandatory 14-day quarantine to begin with. The only ones that could do it are retirees. Working families would be unable to cruise.

MrsKC08 Posted August 27, 2020 #10 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Yeah, this is strictly for budgeting purposes, not necessarily what will actually happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in March is highly doubtful for us since final payment is due at the end of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
