You should book a short celebratory cruise on the Sky Princess in January from Fort Lauderdale 😉 I am so ready to get on a cruise ship...with my buddy Skyride...but he has not yet accepted. You can come also Jason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cxr133 Posted October 1, 2020 #55 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Aaaaand just like that they can keep extending it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted October 1, 2020 #56 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Actually no sail order extended to end of october, not that it makes a huge difference, just the uncertainty continues. Hard for carnival to know and plan if they can sail or not come November. My guess is no, especially with the cdc extending the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisesfun65 Posted October 1, 2020 Author #57 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Ok, can someone please clarify something for me? With the extension until Oct 31st and the fact that the cruise lines need at least 30 days to get ships, crew, protocols in place- does this mean November is automatically a No Go? Or are they allowed to do preparations in October inspite of the order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they allowed to do preparations in October inspite of the order? I'm sure they can start preparing anytime. The question is how much are they willing to spend ( getting crew here, wages, purchasing extra medical supplies/equipment, etc) without a hard date. Once that hard date is known it will be 4-6 weeks. Just not sure how feasible it is to do all that is necessary when no assurance is givin. Maybe after the meeting on Friday with the White House/CDC and others more info will be forthcoming or leaked.

Maybe mandate is a better word over compromise. The CDC clearly does not want to cruise industry to sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobster1313 Posted October 1, 2020 #62 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The CDC also didn't want anyone to use test kits that weren't approved by them and they were overruled. Their initial mishandling set testing back by months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sometimes takes a while to appear after initial stream. It was mostly just him reading off Ms. Duffy's announcement, word for word. He (carefully and rightly so) did not offer any further interpretations, just chatter before and after and profuse apologies.

It's fallen off the front pages, it's hardly 'in the news' the way it was earlier in the outbreak. Now it's back to 24/7 coverage and it'll remain at the top of the news cycle for a little while, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that COVID is going to be 24-7 top of the news, will the task force change their stance on allowing the CDC recommendations to be followed - that's my musing.
