Well, if Carnival's going to do the same, I wish they would please just rip that band-aid off quickly. The waiting is kind of torture. No longer holding out hope for my May cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just going to keep kicking the can down the road raking in as many final payments as they can until herd immunity sets in. Thank goodness for them they have so many people willing to part with their money for free and give them interest free loans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrucern Posted February 17, 2021 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think the hint was when they sent us letters that we had options if booked on cruises through July 3st 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically the CDC has to change guidelines, or cruises won't be able to start until May 20th at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asalligo Posted February 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2021 No chance of cruising in May now, Carnival is just waiting past that final payment date to make the call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not interest free if you are getting OBC for not cancelling but I get what you are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interest free if they file bankruptcy, because you aren't getting that credit if that happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also interest free if the OBC given never gets used due say to not wanting to cruise due to whatever restrictions are imposed or just running out of time.

crazy4themouse Posted February 19, 2021 #12 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Disney has also quietly pulled their May sailings, but haven't formally announced cancellations yet. I'm holding out *some* hope for our October cruise on Breeze, but not a whole lot. I don't see cruises starting back up for the general public until maybe near then, definitely not before probably late summer. There's just too much that still has to happen before then.

asalligo Posted February 19, 2021 #13 Share Posted February 19, 2021 The stock price would indicate that the market still considers Carnival solvent and getting back to cruising, but I must admit I am struggling to see where their optimism stems from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan58 Posted February 19, 2021 #14 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Don't Worry Be Happy! The Things we can't control as we try to just add more silver to hair follicles. When it's time to cruise we will. I just pray when we do get back the initial rush to get on the ships will not resemble the madness associated with the Popeye's Chicken sandwich craze. Hopefully we are more civilized and patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prekcruiser Posted February 19, 2021 #15 Share Posted February 19, 2021 My May 2020 cruise on the Magic was rescheduled for June 2021 on the Sunrise. That one was changed by Carnival to the Horizon for May 2021. This week, I gave up on my May 2021 sailing and re-booked yet again for April 2023 on the Freedom. I pray that all this will be over by then....I just want to cruise!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mslhb Posted February 20, 2021 #19 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I remember almost a year ago being somewhat hopeful that my end of May 2020 cruise would sail. Would never have guessed we would be in this position a year later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they give you any problems moving final payment? They refused to move my November 202 cruise final payment, then they canceled it 2 weeks after it was paid. Which is what I'm expecting for my May cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "hey can you bump this" and she asked when I thought I could pay it off, so I told her the end of March and that was the end of the discussion.. She put me on hold, came back and it was done..
