WOW could you imagine if they got left behind in CC, they would have thought they'd died and gone straight to heaven

But the bugs would eat them up at night. That's one of the reasons the ship leaves CC before sundown.

I don't know if anyone has seen this or not, but Carnival just pulled one of their ships out of Europe for next summer. The Liberty was supposed to do European cruises and they are now keeping the ship in the US to do Caribbean sailings. They sited slow bookings and the downturn in the economy as a couple of reasons for the decision.

Here's a copy of one of the articles posted:


Carnival pulls ex-UK cruises



Carnival Cruise Lines has cancelled a programme of summer 2009 sailings from Dover.

The ship Carnival Liberty is to stay based in Miami sailing to the Caribbean instead of re-positioning to Europe next summer as originally scheduled.

This will mean the cancellation of the ship’s 2009 summer schedule from Dover of 12 and 13-night cruises to Northern Europe and Western Europe respectively.

The decision was based on “current market conditions, continued economic uncertainty and high air costs to Europe which impact US visitors wishing to cruise in Europe,” a statement said.

UK passengers booked on Carnival Liberty will receive full refunds or be offered alternative cruises by sister Carnival Corporation brands.

Passengers are also being offered the option of being rebooked on Carnival Dream, to be launched in Italy in autumn 2009, offering Mediterranean cruises from the port of Rome. Those choosing this option will be given an extra $50 onboard credit.

In addition to three 12-night Grand Mediterranean cruises from Rome (Civitavecchia) in September and October 2009, Carnival Dream will also operate a 16 day transatlantic crossing from Rome in late October 2009.

Carnival Cruise Lines’ UK office is also working with other sister brands including Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and P&O Cruises to offer comparable cruise deals to affected passengers.

Lynn Narraway, Carnival Cruise Lines’ UK managing director, said: “We would like to apologise for the disruption this will cause our UK passengers, and our trade partners who have worked so hard with us to build up our ex-UK cruise presence in the UK market.

“As international operators, we are focusing on our core Miami and Port Canaveral cruises, which continue to be most popular for the UK market, and which also remain perennially popular with US passengers, especially in the current economic climate.

“We are very sorry that we are now unable to offer our Carnival Liberty ex-Dover sailings for 2009, but very much hope to be back in the future.”

You need to ellaborate...I didn't know there was a bug problem

When the sun goes down all the bugs come out at CC. The crew that lives on the island rarely go out after sundown.
We heard that on one of our cruises from some of the crew when we asked why the ship didn't stay at CC longer or even dock overnight.

Good Morning All

Okay after reviewing last nights drivel some actually cruise related

I have one question, how do you get a Russian Blanket Visa?

Can it be done online?

I belive Russia has been increasingly concerned about the number of Russian blankets leaving the country. So it is more difficult to obtain a visa for them than it was. However, if you already have a Russian blanket and wish to obtain a visa for it to visit, it should be possible to do so. Send some thread samples, a picture, and a report of the insulating properties of the blanket to the Russian embassy along with your passport. If acceptable, they will embroider your passport with the new visa...

(sorry, I just couldn't resist)

I thought it was just me and my computer with the red x.

They should be rather dark and cold blankets to go with the feel of the country.
