SXSW cancelled, Geneva Auto Show Cancelled, Ultra music festival cancelled. Thousands of companies implementing bans on international and domestic business travel. Just because you aren't aware doesn't mean it isn't happening. It's making major headlines and causing airline slow downs, drops in convention bookings for Chicago, Las Vegas, Orlando, etc. Dozens more here https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/03/05/coronavirus-update-list-canceled-events/4950641002/ They're cancelling.."in an abundance of caution"..but are they *testing* anyone from any other major gathering of people besides a nursing home? That's the problem I'm having. This is NOT just on the cruise ships..I'd bet my next paycheck. Edited to add: I am very aware and following this more than is probably healthy. No need for snark. I'm also aware of the shortages of PPE at my hospital as an OR nurse. Believe me, I'm plenty aware. Edited March 8, 2020 by DenaInWyo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug910 Posted March 8, 2020 #1979 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Really appreciate the updates on the situation. But, truth be told, I'm boarding RCI's Adventure OTS in the morning, and you guys are killing me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachDiva101 Posted March 8, 2020 #1980 Share Posted March 8, 2020 At this point, they might as well keep you overnight now because everyone by now is probably sloshed since they kept the bars open. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenaInWyo Posted March 8, 2020 #1990 Share Posted March 8, 2020 We are certainly getting a great photo tour of the alchemy bar! And I thought my vodka and GINGER sprite zero was exotic tonight! Still following this like the last episodes of Game of Thrones! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenaInWyo Posted March 8, 2020 #1994 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess all bets are off on the normal rules. At least I hope so for your sake! Ya got lemons, make alchemy cocktails! Lots of those involve lemons..some of them flaming! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot believe Carnival has not atleast said check in tomorrow 6am whatever and we'll see where were sitting. Is everyone still just in LIMBO? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 8, 2020 Author #1996 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I think the drinks are only free for people who bought cheers because I’ve seen and talked to people who are paying for them. I haven’t told them I’m not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRue1975 Posted March 8, 2020 #2000 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I can say confidentially that sitting at the Alchemy with an extended Cheers package is way better than Hollywood, you are winning! I feel for all the others that are so negatively impacted by the situation but thank you so much for continuing your live report. Who knows, you might become famous, cheers! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
