johnlcruise Posted May 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2021 OK I know this is a stupid question... But what is everyone's feelings about the Port of Galveston being open by August. I found a great deal for 7 nights. But right now RC already has my money from two other cruises that I have moved to 2022. And don't want to give them anymore of my money, until I'm sure they are really sailing. There is light at the end of the tunnel. But how bright is it really?

The CDC and/or HHS are the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted May 18, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I think you can flip a coin , hopefully they will be sailing, good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfganghowell Posted May 18, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Carnival announced they are sailing July 3rd. I think it's quite possible late August will work. The crews are vaccinated, they've been recalled to service and the CDC just loosened up a little bit more on requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 18, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Million dollar question. One that many many people want to know. Fingers crossed. Only the cdc knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone forgets that the secretary of HHS could end the CSO with the stroke of a pen. "This Order is effective upon signature and shall remain in effect until the earliest of (1) the expiration of the Secretary of Health and Human Services' declaration that COVID-19 constitutes a public health emergency; (2) the CDC Director rescinds or modifies the order based on specific public health or other considerations; or (3) November 1, 2021."

HicksRA Posted May 18, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2021 My coin landed on heads - that ships will sail from Galveston in August in some form based on the way things are progressing. Just my own assumption and it could easily land on tails instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they give it up, I think we are stuck with no cruises. I think the cdc is like that naughty child who starts getting off on negative attention. PS governor Abbott just banned mask requirements in public schools. Surprised but glad. Edited May 18, 2021 by firefly333 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree about the publicity and control, have you ever seen a bunch of politicians who didn't love publicity and control? and we really like the naughty child comparison! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
