Rare wolft927 Posted October 14, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2020 So, Wife and I cancelled out September cruise on the Glory and I found a Suite on the Glory on March 14th for $2k total. I took the risk and hope that it will be sailing. I really dont care if ports are canceled just want to get back cruising. Do you think Glory will sail in March?

Rare ColeThornton Posted October 14, 2020 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2020 No one knows when cruising will return. Your guess at this point is as good as anyone's. Hope it works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted October 14, 2020 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2020 As crazy as the rest of us who have booked cruises - lol. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted October 14, 2020 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Like the last poster mentioned, the best anyone can do right now is guess. However, three weeks from today I think people will be able to make more accurate predictions. Hopefully cruising resumes soon, since the financial outlook for the big three continues to get worse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted October 14, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Very True, We will see what happens at the end of the month. If the no sail order is lifted and Cruising begins in Mid to late December or January, I think my Cruise on the Glory for mid march may be safe...but who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck with your scheduled cruise although I doubt the full fleet will be operating by mid March as Carnival has stated repeatedly they will roll out the ships/ports slowly. I could maybe see Galveston opening in Feb/Mar but New Orleans and Mobile will be later. Sadly, unless you are going out of Miami or Canaveral, I wouldn't count on anything until April/May. I've also got a cruise set for mid March out of San Diego and have zero expectation it will occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens in three weeks? (just kidding) I agree with you completely, but it is not just the "big three" with financial trouble. The whole of the Caribbean is suffering a debilitating impact on their GNP. To a lesser but as important impact on hospitality industries in Europe, Asia, and Australia are suffering greatly as well. People who make plans are not crazy. They are organized and optimistic. Plans can go wrong. I once took my diving gear to Thailand. It rained with lightning for seven straight days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted October 14, 2020 #9 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Anything you get on here is going to be baseless speculation. All we know is no cruises until December and even then it's only Miami and Orlando. I personally am hoping a ramp up gets cruises in Galveston and New Orleans by then but your guess is as good as mine. The current situation in New Orleans is the Mayor is holding the city's events for ransom. She said she wouldn't allow fans at Saints games until she gets more CARES act money. Now the Saints are threatening to play games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. Edited October 14, 2020 by Saint Greg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafedumonde Posted October 15, 2020 #10 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Well, I think cruising will be on in three weeks! Actually, less than that now. 🥰 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted October 15, 2020 #11 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I think this topic has been broached before, just with different months. "I booked an April cruise, am I crazy?", ""I booked a June cruise, am I crazy?", I booked a September cruise, am I crazy?"........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarose Posted October 15, 2020 #12 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I booked MG for next December in the thick of lock down in march. people thought, and still think I am crazy since the ship ws at the time still being built and now just doing trials in the sea. we will cruise again.

Good point, if cruising starts by the end of this year, you should be okay in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Carolina just had the highest number of cases of the virus yesterday since the beginning of the pandemic. No one knows what the next 6 months will bring, but that fact that I just typed is not a good sign for March. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjrice1 Posted October 15, 2020 #19 Share Posted October 15, 2020 We are supposed to do a Super Bowl cruise out of Miami. (honestly don't see this happening and do not want to be the first cruises sailing either) Be interesting what protocols will be in place. If any of the islands are going to welcome cruise ships. (Aruba right now has 5 cruise ships just sitting there) Purchase the insurance just in case I decide not to go or if my job (nurse will let me go) Just a waiting game now.

Apart from Copenhagen, they're all new places for us. Looking forward to it -- this was the cruise I had to cancel so I could make Antarctica happen.

If they are allowing 15,000 people at a game i think that New orleans will open the port by MArch.....But also only if Carnival Decides to sail again out of new orleans that soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
