CARNIVAL IS ONE OF THE BEST FOR NONE OR VERY FEW INCIDENTS.   Dirk Pepperd Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 990 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - 11:16 pm:    Shipboard illness is like a plane crash. You only hear about it when it happens not when it doesn't. There are hundreds of cruises that go out every week with no incident. There is no reason to draw any conclusion that there may be such and incident. I'm not a statistician but would be willing to say the chances are minimal at best.   DANIEL T.

By the way, our cruise passengers might be interested in a web site re a ship board gastrointestinal diesase that could crop up on our cruise. The site is www.cda.gov, I found it on my aol home page.   Dirk Pepperd Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 989 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, March 29, 2010 - 09:52 pm:    Between Barry, Cheryl and myself, we will come up with a designated location to catch the shuttle along with a schedule. Barry is in the UK for a few days and I will be talking with him when he gets back. We will keep everyone posted through this thread and the web page in the upcoming weeks before the cruise.   DANIEL T.

It does include Port Charges and there are no Booking Fees but add Taxes & Other Fees. The stateroom upgrade is only for the same stateroom type and doesnot apply for a cancellation and rebooking with Carnival; also, not valid with group bookings. Sorry, my first time crusing. Nice try. Dan P.S. There are several VOQs and a VAQ at Patrick AFB. Which one or more will the bus to the port leave from? And, is there a schedule yet since it will make several trips?   Phil Doubleman Senior Member Username: Phil Post Number: 1542 Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Monday, March 29, 2010 - 01:31 am:    $292.52 is the "inside cabin" rate with all taxes and fees included through Travelocity. No ship board credit.   Dirk Pepperd Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 988 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2010 - 09:41 pm:    Dan, Here's the thing about the Travelocity.com rate. I'm sure if you look a little deeper you will find that it DOES NOT include port charges, taxes, a $75 per cabin shipboard credit, or any of the other amenities like our own meeting area with coffee and danish. Call travelocity and talk to them Dan. Let us know what they say. If they can match everything for that price let us know.   DANIEL T. SCHULTZ Member Username: Schultz Post Number: 11 Registered: 06-2008 Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2010 - 02:59 pm:    Travelocity.com has our cruise offered with an upgrade to balcony making the balcony $319 fare code PS1. Can Cheryl get us this upgrade?
