I have a July cruise and called my PVP to move it yesterday. He said he would automatically be moving my final payment date until the make an announcement about July cruises as well. I was thankful for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its apples and oranges. The poster said biden is expected to loosen travel restrictions..as in right now no travel non essential is advised, not flying, none. You are talking cruises specifically. Oh boy I cant wait, biden might say vaccinated can travel after may, how exciting. (Like no one is right now).

There is no way that June cruises will be happening unless the CDC changes the conditional cruise phases in a couple of weeks or so.. The ships are still operating with limited crew..

CoW mAn Posted March 25, 2021 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Carnival provided an update today on the current state of cruising. Rather than sit through a long video here are the important points… News · Guests booked on June sailings can cancel without penalty · June cruises final payment date moved to April 30th · Carnival through its trade association has asked the CDC to amend the conditional sail order to allow cruising to resume this summer Background / Old News · No decision on June sailings · No decisions on vaccines being a requirement · CDC Orders have not changed since last fall (prior to vaccine approval) · US restart timing uncertain · Other cruise lines have made some decisions, Carnival will make its own decisions · Carnival ships will remain at US home ports Fun Facts · Carnival has 14 US home ports · 50% of sailings are less than 7 days · Carnival sails more families and children than any other cruise line 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoW mAn Posted March 26, 2021 #13 Share Posted March 26, 2021 CNBC is reporting that the CDC has rejected the request and stocks are taking a tumble as a result but before anyone panics it has not been confirmed by a second source that I can see yet and if true it just means they aren't amending them right now, they could always do so in the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BoozinCroozin Posted March 26, 2021 #14 Share Posted March 26, 2021 It is going to take a lawsuit by the cruise lines to cruise before November. It is as simple as that. The major cruise lines need to file for an injunction and force the CDC to appear along with the heads of all other Departments that have shutdown the ports. If you haven't noticed, the Ports in the US are not shutdown, only cruise lines. We are importing so many products still it is ridiculous. We are cattle-calling students into schools against the CDC and DHHS direction of social distancing. Planes with 3" of social distancing have been in operation since this has started. Wearing masks and not wearing masks has no effect on the infection rates. Another failure the CDC won't address. No initiative the CDC has taken has stopped or slowed the spread. The only thing making a difference is the beginning of herd immunity and vaccination. The CDC has no function in the vaccination realm. That is managed by the FDA, a completely different organization. Therefore, the CDC won't acknowledge the science of their own experts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxer Posted March 26, 2021 #15 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I admire how Carnival and the other cruise lines are keeping at it and trying hard. It's an uphill battle, but I respect how they sincerely want to make things work so that they can get back to their business. Maybe they will eventually find someone from the CDC side who really wants to find a way to make this work. The places where the governments are working closely with the cruise industry are the places where they are successfully sailing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda the Book Lover Posted March 26, 2021 #16 Share Posted March 26, 2021 We are hoping we get to sail in June since our cruise is the end of June. If not we will rebook once again. Like so many I am tired of moving cruises and just want to cruise. We gave up and started moving to 2022 with the exception of one moved to December of this year. I am keeping positive, believing we will sail again soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever get to a point where I can't sit through a 5-minute video, then I would be in deep trouble healthwise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that June cruises will be happening unless the CDC changes the conditional cruise phases in a couple of weeks or so.. The ships are still operating with limited crew.. There are three "events" that can cause the CSO to be cancelled: 1 Nov 2021 The Sec of HHS declaring the pandemic over (possibly by letting the current declaration expire - it renews quarterly) The CDC rescinds the order So the CDC can be overridden by the Sec of HHS. The CDC does not hold all the cards - if the current administration feels that cruising can resume, they have an avenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but declaring the Pandemic over has impacts on a lot more than just cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
