BUMMED OUT!  I got my call and an email from Carnival, plus a call from my travel agent.  So now I have all day tomorrow to sit and stew about it.  What can you do though?  I could go to work and save a day of vacation leave, but figure I'd be in such a foul mood they wouldn't want me around.  LOL.  See you ...

A few minutes ago Carnival had an update posted that the Triumph (NOLA) and Fantasy (Mobile) were departing a day late and that we (Fantasy) would skip Progreso and be refunded for the one day.  Now that notice appears to be gone.  I wonder if they are re-thinking things now that it has been downgraded to a TS with more weakening ...

Thanks for bringing that up oldtom...I was wondering the same thing.  I live in the greater Mobile area (eastern shore)...only 8 miles from the port.  What is adequate compensation for missing a port?  We have an excursion scheduled for Progreso through Auto-Progreso, but fortunately they didn't require a pre-pay.  ...

I just read that they won't make any announcements until at least 24-48 hours before the sailing.  So, for now, we sit and wait...and wait....and wait.  Oy Vey!

I am seriously considering the May 15th sailing of the Elation out of Mobile.  Hoping to put down a deposit soon.   Gotta get through my cruise on the Fantasy next week first.    

Heck....I would drive to New Orleans but then I would have to pay for parking.  I only live 8 miles from the port of Mobile so I have someone who can drop us off and pick us up (really convenient).  But whatever it takes to make it on that ship...count me in.   It's the waiting and not knowing that is driving me ...

We will have a 6 yo boy with us who is looking forward to making friends at Camp Carnival and at the pool!  Anyone else gonna be on this sailing with kids?

We are scheduled for the DZ ruins tour with Auto-Progeso next week.  I will let you know how it goes.   Sandi

Go to the Orginal Oyster House on the causeway just east of downtown for some really good seafood.

We'll be in Costa Maya on the Fantasy next week and will be looking to find one of those cheap (inexpensive) beach massages.  Any suggestions on where they are located in Costa Maya?
