Welcome back to all of those who cruised on the May 2nd sailing to Bermuda! Hopefully the weather in Bermuda and at Sea was better than what we had here...and you remembered to roll up your car windows before you left.
If you have just returned from the sailing, please write a review here or share your tips for future cruisers.

Swine Flu and Norfolk Cruises
The cruises from norfolk are not currently impacted by any itinerary changes due to the swine flu...they don't go to Mexico and the cruise lines clean the ships pretty thoroughly between each sailing.
Royal Caribbean's Statement on the Impact to their Sailings:
"...It is important to note that health authorities have not raised concerns regarding the ports of call we visit in Mexico. None of our sailings have been altered and none are scheduled to be...." Full statement: click here
Carnival Cruise Line's statement on the Impact of the Swine Flu on their sailings:
"Carnival Cruise Lines has cancelled all port of call visits in Mexico for 16 of its ships that were previously scheduled to stop in that country. Itineraries for vessels departing between now and June 15, 2009 that included stops in Mexico have been modified. In many instances, the modification simply involved substituting an alternate port...." Full details: click here
Note also that cancellations to any trip to mexico due to swine flu are currently covered by most travel insurance, but that will change if the CDC elevates the threat to a pandemic or epidemic, which is conveniently not covered by travel insurance. BUT if you have Cancel for Any Reason insurance, you are set! And you may be able to add on Cancel for Any Reason insurance to your trip (it depends on whether you have made the final payment or not).
Normally i don't like to put any sales pitches on this blog, but in this case, i do want to just say that even if you didn't purchase your vacation through CI Travel, we may still be able to help you get insurance...so give us a call... ok, that's it, no more sales pitches!
Enjoy your vacation - if you work as hard as i do, you deserve it and more!!
