My final payment is due February 2021 for my May 2021 Bermuda cruise.  I'm going to see how things go from now till then, if things are still bad, I will call Carnival and try and have my final payment date moved to March 2021 and see if Carnival cancels.  If Carnival does not cancel with things still uncertain or cruising has returned but with too many restrictions, I will most likely have to cancel the cruise.  Right now unfortunately everyone of us is in a holding pattern.

My May 2021 Bermuda cruise is in question with me because no one knows what is going to happen.  Bermuda is a bucket list place for me so I will be bummed if I have to cancel cuz of this virus.  I also have an Alaska cruise booked for September 2021.  I have never been to Alaska before either. 

Good thread!!
I’ve been in a clamshell on the serenity deck today reading the fun books I brought.  It’s 6:30 now so I am in the MDR having dinner. I will go to a comedy show and then hit the jacuzzi before bed.  

I like dressing up a bit for formal nites.  Always wear a long dress.  My dad is very old school and wears a tux.  

Yes.  I booked a 10 day Alaska cruise, balcony stateroom for September 2021.  I’m trying to be hopeful.  I’m such a beach bum that all my family and friends had a heart attack when I told them about going to Alaska!  This will be my first NON-beach cruise.  They are all worried for me they think the culture shock will kill me!! 

How about The Searcher, as in, let’s search for a date to get back to cruising please. Seriously though you guys are probably more correct in the name of Jubilee or Carnivale. Something to do with their 50th anniversary I’m sure.

Carnival Victory is/was a Destiny class cruise ship released in the year 2000. It will be coming to Long Beach April 2021

 

Which Panorama cruise of yours got cancelled?? As of Now the Panorama is scheduled to resume cruises in October 2020

 

May 9, 2020 Panorama cruise got cancelled.  I have a cruise on the Horizon for October 25, 2020, which I do believe will be cancelled as well.  I'm happy about the Radiance coming here to SoCal!

What class of ship is the Radiance?  Is it Conquest class?  My Panorama cruise got cancelled. I was looking forward to checking out that new ship, but alas, covid hit.  It will be nice to do a 3-4 day and be offered balconies now.

I'm so sad that Carnival has decided to abandon cruises departing from this port.  This was my favorite cruise itinerary, because it was port heavy and only 1 sea day.  Loved doing a beach crawl on all the different islands.   I'm so glad I was able to do it last June 2019 with my niece to celebrate her graduation. 

My boss talked to her PVP at Holland America and the PVP said that the talk is that the authorities/people who make the decisions regarding letting cruise ships into the Caribbean island ports are very concerned about cruise ships bringing Covid 19 cases onto the islands.  The Caribbean islands do not have the medical infrastructure that we have here in the US to handle a lot of cases of covid 19 if that happened and the cruise lines are probably going to cancel all Caribbean cruises through 2020.  My boss told me this because I have 2 caribbean cruises planned this year.  I think a lot of ports will say no to cruise ships and more cancellations are coming.

I vote for the Breeze

ive never been to Bonaire before, that’s why I’d pick it. I always try to find a cruise where there is at least one port I have never been to yet. Also, I sailed the Breeze back in 2014 when she was new and I love that ship.  Have fun on whichever cruise you choose.

I hope to sail her on October 25th. 

The Tulum ruins tour. Amazing.

June 2019 I took my niece on a cruise out of San Juan, Puerto Rico for her college graduation gift.  She is a marine biologist.  When we embarked the ship, a crew member asked why we were cruising and I told him that she just graduated college and is a marine biologist and I was the proud aunt!  Somehow that info got around to all crew members, because from then on whenever we saw a crew member she was addressed as Marine Biologist and I was always addressed as Proud Aunt.  Also on that same cruise we visited St. Kitts and went on a tour with the Thenford Grey tours.  Thenford Grey himself came up to my niece and congratulated her on graduating college.  After we finished touring the Brimstone Hill Fortress, our driver had a surprise for my niece and had put in big white writing on the van’s back window CONGRATULATIONS BAILEY!

We had a great time on that cruise!  I love cruising and I hope we can all get back to it after this virus is gone.  Take care all.

Hoping to go on Freedom of the Seas August 16th. Also have one planned for October 25th.

Panorama. New ship here in Long Beach, CA. 

I was on the Breeze in January 2014 and our ship left a couple of people behind in Cozumel.  I always see pier runners in Nassau. 

Carnival Sensation 9/23/2019 5 day Bahamas and Half Moon Cay Cruise!   I love Half Moon Cay!! 

My May 9th Panorama Cruise was cancelled.  Looking to rebook that cruise sometime in 2022 since I already have 2 other cruises booked for 2021.  I have a cruise on the Horizon scheduled for October 25, 2020. We will see what happens with that one.

We had the same thing happen to us on our tour with them in June 2019.  Girl who met us at port was not feeling well and complained how bad she felt the whole way there.  The beach area is a very small area to the far left.  Beach chairs are gross. There was bugs too.  Not worth the money we paid.  They put us on a boat that did not work and we were going very very slow back to the port waiting for a different boat to transfer us to in the middle of the ocean (that was fun, 2 guys trying to hold the boats together so we could hop onto the other boat).  It was a horrible experience for the money. Awful. I would leave use them again.

Yes. I have one planned for August 16th and October 25th.

wow!  great stories!

I love the Breeze!!  Sailed on her January 2014 when she was pretty new.  Western Caribbean.  Had a blast!  Have fun!

My May 9th got cancelled today, so my next cruise is on the Horizon October 25, 2020.  I also have one planned for April 17, 2021 to Tortola/Caribbean on RCCL and another planned for May 24, 2021 to Bermuda on NCL (Gem).
