I know I have read it on several internet sources, and heard it several times on our local News that Carnival Cruise Lines as well as NCL, and RCCL have suspended their Cruises. We live in New Orleans, and those three Cruise Lines (as well as Disney) total of 5 Ships, Cruise out of here every weekend. My wife has two Cousins who just left today (ship left on schedule at 4:00 PM) on the Carnival Valor. Their Travel Agent told them last night "All is well, the Ship is still Cruising-Have a good time". I don't know where the misinformation is coming from, maybe the Cruises to Europe are canceled???
4:47 PM CST Edited to correct my post: Wife just heard from her Cousin, the Cruise was in-fact canceled. She got a call from Carnival last night at 11:00 PM, that their Cruise was canceled, and she would receive an email shortly about her options for a refund or to use the $$ on a future Cruise. The website I was looking at Port of NO Cruise Ship webcam did in fact show the Ship leaving at 4:00, but apparently without passengers.

I was thinking if things get REALLY bad, and the Cruise Line(s) have to file for bankruptcy, they might not have to honor the prior claims, or refund any money. When things settle down, it will be a cruiser's market and would be a good time to book. Until then, I think not.

Even in a chapter 11, claims for individual cruisers would be WAY down the list.. Hopefully no chapter 7's, but who knows, at this point?
