What up with that? You think they could have picked a better color. My guess is they added crew recently, getting ready to start up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy_weatherman Posted June 7, 2021 #27 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The answer will become simple with time - pull the cruise ships from Florida. Home port them in states where the governors will not act as foolish as DeSantis has. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lazydayz Posted June 7, 2021 Author #31 Share Posted June 7, 2021 You have to have standing to challenge a law. So far, it is not even in effect, so in legal terms, a suit is probably "not ripe." It will be on July 1. Clever of Celebrity to get its first cruise out of Florida in late June. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would give them the opportunity to challenge the law. and face a fine of up to $5,000 per violation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure for every cruise that set sail Florida there will be a big press conference counting $5,000 fines. When all is said and done I'll be shocked if the per person fine is more than $100. Probably closer to $50. And that's before any kind of lawsuit negotiation or mediation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If land-based crew embarked, they were immediately quarantined (unless fully vaccinated or recovered in past 90 days) upon embarking the ship.

I really don't think anything regarding cruising is as clear as day anymore. It's back and forth daily. Carnival would be smart to proceed with their test cruises while all of this negotiating is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJHAN Posted June 7, 2021 #48 Share Posted June 7, 2021 2 hours ago, lazydayz said: We are scheduled for the July 10th cruise from Miami and just received this via e-mail. Dear Carnival Horizon Guest: We are looking forward to welcoming you on board Carnival Horizon for your upcoming cruise in July. We have been working to navigate through the evolving guidance for restarting our ships in the U.S. We appreciate the support for our U.S. restart and the industry continues to be in regular communication with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requesting that more manageable guidelines be adopted, especially as it relates to families traveling with children under the age of 12 who are ineligible for vaccination. The current CDC requirements for cruising with a guest base that is unvaccinated are much more restrictive and will make it very difficult to deliver the experience our guests expect especially given the large number of families with younger children who sail with us. Earlier today we announced that we plan to operate our ships sailing from Galveston during the month of July with vaccinated guests. This approach, however, requires guests to provide proof of vaccination at time of check-in which is currently prohibited in the State of Florida. As stated above, we continue to work with CDC on its requirements for unvaccinated guests, especially children under the age of 12 and we are working with the Governor of Florida to find a resolution so we can begin cruising from Florida in the same manner that we are sailing from Galveston in July and satisfy their requirements. We will provide an update by Friday, June 11, regarding protocols specific to your cruise in July. As previously communicated, we have extended your ability to rebook or request a full refund until Monday, June 14. We continue to believe these matters will be resolved in time for Carnival Horizon’s first departure from Miami on July 4 and we remain optimistic that requirements for cruising from the U.S. will continue to evolve and our approach to future sailings will become more flexible. However, at this time we must follow the requirements we have as of today. Ultimately, we are focused and committed to following all guidelines, protecting public health, AND delivering to our guests, a FUN Carnival cruise vacation. Thank you to all our guests, travel advisors and other stakeholders who have been patient and supportive as we work through this process. Sincerely, http://image.carnivalcruiselineemail.com/lib/fe9513727761047c7c/m/16/bd3f70f3-0423-4959-8e06-f79b51e6b9d9.jpg Christine Duffy President, Carnival Cruise Line http://image.carnivalcruiselineemail.com/lib/fe9513727761047c7c/m/16/8f151793-2154-433e-91fb-766729f720e1.jpg http://image.carnivalcruiselineemail.com/lib/fe9513727761047c7c/m/16/6d8d56a5-51cc-4394-a48e-1959697413fe.jpg http://image.carnivalcruiselineemail.com/lib/fe9513727761047c7c/m/16/5ec19a3a-e023-49b4-8bba-3c25c00e97a3.jpg http://image.carnivalcruiselineemail.com/lib/fe9513727761047c7c/m/16/c74ecf7e-7eb2-4483-8d9b-36cb7940ebea.jpg http://image.carnivalcruiselineemail.com/lib/fe9513727761047c7c/m/16/eb3528b1-1004-436d-b4c2-c652d7f3c4cb.jpg http://image.carnivalcruiselineemail.com/lib/fe9513727761047c7c/m/16/b9080fa5-6a9f-4e78-864e-3ac2e3570359.jpg Contact Us • About Us • Privacy Notice • Unsubscribe Looks like I’m rolling this dice and booking out of Galveston mid July.

If that is true, I would feel pretty good about a cruise from Galveston in July. But I might be an optimist, as I feel ok about my July 10th cruise on the Horizon. Cruising is making a comeback in North America and Carnival is focusing its efforts on those three ships. Just my latest leap of faith - LOL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
