great offer!

[lindya]

got an offer for an  8 day cruise from Galveston to The  Florida Keys for less than $500 for 2!!!....Carnival Dream the end of September....on 24 hour hold so anyone want to weigh in on why we should or should not go?...(other than that "Covid" issue)..we are both vaccinated..

[ProgRockCruiser]

I don't see any cruises to "The Florida Keys".  I assume it stops elsewhere?  The Dream is cruising in Sept to three Bahamian ports.  Is that what you meant?

I see it but not for that price. Are you seeing a casino offer? 

 

Used to have 4 stops, key west dropped. I wanted to do it but it's not more than 14 days from my vista cruise.,.. extra covid test, no thanks. It was a bargain anyway. Just not worth it.

I thought Key West was closed to cruise ships.

If it is $500, it is due to time of year (hurricane season). I love Key West, but if it includes Freeport and Nassau, I will take a pass.

For $500, it's a casino offer.

my bad...don't know where I saw Florida Keys, I think it used to include a stop there, but yes, it is Freeport , Nassau and Half Moon Cay..anyway,, I think it's still a good price for 8 days...shouldn't the hurricane season be done by the last week of Sept?  It was a casino offer as it also included free drinks in the casino..also , I'm not sure it's worth the risk and I will have to check out some of the rules of rescheduling or being stuck somewhere in quarantine even though its supposed to be 95% vaccinated...who knows what position we will be in by then?

Hurricane season is officially June - November.

I would do that in a heartbeat.  I don't care for the ports, but just to be on a ship for 8 days.  Unfortunately I don't get the amazing casino offers mentioned here (even though I donate a fair amount of money to the casinos on board).

I was on the Breeze last month, and will board Mardi Gras in 7 days.  I'm not worried about covid/getting stuck somewhere in quarantine/getting cancelled/rescheduled.  It's different situation now than it was 18 months ago.

Hurricane season peaks in Aug and Sept, and can easily have storms through October, and yes, even to the end of the "season" in November (and the storms don't care about what we call a season, they can and do form in Dec on rare occasions!)

 

From what I just read: "The specific date of the peak of hurricane season is September 11th".

We booked that same cruise for next May. It was $405 total for 2 with $200 obc and drinks everywhere for 1. Plus we have canceled cruise obc too. That was for Lido balcony.  We have already been to all those ports except Half Moon Cay. That's where I wanted to go! We took taxi to beach in Freeport. Went to Hilton hotel in Nassau and just walked around Key West. It was fun to us.
