Embarked and disembarked in Jacksonville, FL and only stops were Freeport, Bahamas and a private island not far from there.
Thanks. So not exactly hotspots, then.
BTDT cruise (before the Ecstasy arrived), love Carnival cruises, try to go every few years, just went with 50+ HS alumni last year.
From personal experience, Carnival really does let one have as much fun as one wishes there.
Which as some others and I suspect, relates to the occasional obamahead “falling” overboard at times.
you were on the cruise right as the virus was starting- and didn’t cruise to hot spots so chances are kinda good you didn’t encounter infected folks- in a week or two, there would be no way I’d even consider going- Way too risky-
Once this virus gets really rolling along, spreading out, fanning out- things like even public transportation are gonna be risky- They are right now, but I mean when it really gets spreading- Subways, buses, cabs, car pooling, etc- That is how the virus is really gonna spread rapidly- as millions of folks have to get to work- get to the stores (another hot spot once the virus gets rolling)
People going to ball games, shopping centers, vacations, visiting cities with millions crowding sidewalks, carnivals, Disney land, etc-
People going to doctor’s offices, appointments, hospitals, nursing homes, rehabs, etc- where all the sick people are going-
Right now it’s not real bad- hopefully it stays this way- but I don’t see how it can with all the above scenarios that must take place-
Carnival is my favorite line. Easiest to relax and have fun on. Staff are superbly trained and have top notch responses to unforeseen events.
Disclaimer: I go on cruises to relax and have fun. I’m not trying to prove anything or want to be a Pom. I just want to relax and enjoy the cruise.
Been on 6 Carnival cruises. All were perfect.
