Raxter54 Posted December 2, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Well, tried booking any of the cruises in February on the Carnival site. Getting an error saying no rooms available for my number of passengers (2). And no crusings available on my TA site. Goodbye Freedom cruise on Feb 21....:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what it says if you try to book a cruise carnival is in the process of cancelling but hasn't announced yet. Same as what I said ... feb is no longer blue meaning it can be booked, it's now grayed out. It's a goner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cruise supposedly leaves Miami on Feb 1st. I am NOT holding my breath. I had thought that perhaps bookings were closed to keep capacity down but my optimism has faded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsewhere I had a ta tell me my cruise april 25 out of Galveston has no chance. Hes been in business 25 years and never been wrong. I said I'll keep up the faith and decide in a month or so and hope things are clearer. We sure could use some positive news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purvis1231 Posted December 2, 2020 #12 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I suspect that 2021 cruises and the cruise lines are in great danger of flandering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's put this into perspective. A vaccine is imminent. That's the best news we could ever get! Be patient.....eventually ships will sail...safely. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be patient.....eventually ships will sail...safely. Just heard our Provincial Update and they announced our Vaccine rollout plan. Phase 1 will include Albertans most at-risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19, as well as health-care workers and long-term and supportive living staff. This will run Jan to March 2021 This should cover approx 450,000 or 10% of the population Phase 2 is expected to begin by April 2021 and will again be targeted to prioritized populations. Phase 3 will involve rolling out vaccinations to the general Alberta population, anticipated to start by fall 2021. So looking at October before general pop will be vaccinated here. Always figured my March cruise would be up in the air now im hoping for a vaccination before my November cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really figured out when regular seniors here might be tbh, though they said texas will get 1.4m doses of the 2 drugs. Texas is very big and that wouldnt cover health people, and they are wishy washy about the rest of us. My parents want it but cant wait in line. My dad getting iffy to get him anywhere, I'll find out tomorrow if he can get into my car and go to hearing aide doctor. He hasn't been feeling well and is 102, but my parents live alone, not in a nursing home, so not as high priority for vaccine. Plus I dont think either can manage much of a wait. We are just hoping to make it thru this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDisconnections Posted December 3, 2020 #17 Share Posted December 3, 2020 We all know these sailings will still continue as planned and new bookings were only restricted due to limited capacity. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way things are going there are going to be far fewer ships sailing if/when cruises resume from US ports and the price of cruises will be significantly higher in the future. I don’t see how any cruise line will survive and pay off the massive debts they have accumulated without substantially increasing revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerman2 Posted December 3, 2020 #21 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It was only a matter of time being both RCI and NCL had cancelled already. At this point they very well could be waiting until vaccine is available to all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mdin Posted December 3, 2020 #24 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I was expecting my February 20 sailing (Mardi Gras) to be canceled, so at least it happened before I canceled it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubNHub Posted December 3, 2020 #25 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Oh boy. Getting closer to our May 8 2021 Mardi Gras sailing... that would be the third cancellation. Crazy times. Wondering if we should just move it to like 2023 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
