When Carnival kept their onerous requirements to cruise offline, we got to read them, thanks to a post by Tennessee Nana.

It looked, IMHO like a Bait and Switch operation, since you didn't see the onerous hidden requirements until you were ready to pay for the trip.

The Cruise lines are back on their heels and at the mercy of our CDC, and other worldwide health agencies and of course , world politicians.

IMHO, What hasn't helped the Lines is their timid acquiescence to all the regulations put on them, and kissing ass by adding more onerous regulations on themselves.

Nice Cruise Line you got there. These monthly delays must be costing you BILLIONS of dollars to stay afloat. -Tom

“The cruise line currently has in place details to make sure guests will remain safe during a cruise vacation.”

I’ve seen cruise line pandemic policies before. There is one striking omission. Not once do they mention having a good time.

Considering how Covid spread on cruise ships even when people were quarantined in their rooms, I cannot imagine anybody in their right mind taking a cruise.

What is the difference between a 2021 Cruise and a concentration camp?

Beats me!

I had never wanted to take a cruise, nor did Mrs LS, although we finally thought maybe a Disney Cruise to their nearby island off FL would be ok.

Not any more.

“Although cruises are currently scheduled for May this year, we’ve all come to expect this to change again.”

The change will be that every top level pol in DC gets his own personal cruise ship, and we peons never will see the inside of one again.

Open negotiations with Caribbean Island ports and see how it goes. Leave out US territory islands.

Captain - When your posts refer to Carnival Cruise Line, I assume that means the different lines owned by Carnival, e.g., Princess? Or is it just the ships with “Carnival” on the sides?
