IS ANYONE afraid to book with Carnival

[lmb84]

Just wondering, is anyone hesitant about booking with Carnival with all that's in the news?

[pirate4me2]

Nope, just made a new booking last week! :)

[hockeyguru32]

No just waiting on the other cruise companies to get their hands slapped as well

Not at all. I have 3 Carnival cruises booked and another one on Princess (under the Carnival Corp. umbrella of cruise lines).  While I was disappointed in the Carnival Corp. environmental violations, I feel that there will be a concerted effort to make positive changes.  Maybe I'm just an optimist.

Uh oh. 😯    💩☔

Exactly what part of the environmental fine is suppose to scare me? And I might mention I love the BIG spooky title.

We have double digit cruises booked on Carnival thru February 2021 and will likely book a couple more in the near future.  So no I am not afraid to book with Carnival.

Norwegian and RCCL have both been hit with environmental violations in the past and paid millions.

Well they could be blocked from U.S. PORTS...for violating terms of their probation for dumping in the ocean.

That has been settled. There will be no port blockages, that was all bluster and never was actually ever going to happen. I have three booked. Don't let it be a worry for you. Enjoy!

I have a couple cruises booked- I have to admit I was a little worried when I saw they could be blocked from ports.  Then I started thinking about that and realized how low the odds of that happening actually are.  Still, I am relieved that they came to a settlement.  Of course, I would prefer Carnival/Princess/every cruise line follow environmental regulations and stop breaking rules.  But I'm also glad no cruises will be blocked.

Negative.  I'm also not afraid of tap water, frogs, or the color mauve although I don't trust it.

[TNcruising02]

No.  I have a cruise in less than two  weeks and another in September.  I have no hesitation about booking a Carnival cruise.

Not at all.  We have a 14-day partial Panama Canal Journey's cruise for 2020.  Looking at B2B2B on Breeze for 2021.

It would never detour us at all. This year Carnival for Halloween, next year, Sky Princess, Island Princess and Carnival Mardi Gras for Halloween, 2021 Carnival Elation and the Radiance. Plus others.

Thank you for that...I feel better...They were saying if you didn't buy insurance, than you should...

You still should buy insurance. Not for a judge blocking Carnival lines, but mostly for medical emergencies.

I agree — mauve is a very shady color.  Is it pink?  Is it purple?  Inquiring minds want to know!

 

Nothing to be afraid of — Carnival big wigs knew what was at stake; there is no way they would have risked not sailing from US ports.

It's actually a combination of pink and grey.  But don't tell it I told you so.

I'm more worried about the color puce. Shifty color with a weird name.

Yes I agree with the post below. Still not a bad idea to buy insurance, but not because of a port stoppage. Thats just alot of bluster, but, life does happen so insurance is never a bad idea :-). Dont worry, and enjoy your cruise, and the lead up to it!

[Doggielover68]

A big corporation did something shady and got caught and fined. Shocker.

 

No. I'm not afraid. I will continue to cruise just the same.

Did you read the cruise contract? Carnival can change ports at its discretion. So don't book if you are this worried.
