HOW WILL NEW SWINE FLU "EPIDEMIC" IMPACT YOUR CRUISE?

SO excited and cannot hardly wait! My husband is self-employed (mobile mechanic) and he says he is having to "flog" himself to get his work done! It is sugarbeet harvest here in Wyoming so he is keeping a bunch of older-than-the-hills trucks running for the farmers for one more year (some of these trucks are 4 trucks taken apart and put together to make one truck!) I got a new digital camcorder and have been practicing up! We have been to Europe before but never for this length of time. Unfortunately, the dollar is so bad it's taking a beating. Travel sites are warning about exchanging your dollars for Euros and no place in Rome will take dollars anymore. It is VERY expensive using taxis or shuttles. The train is fairly cheap but when you have a lot of luggage it is not very convenient (lots of bums and panhandlers too.) Train is safe and fast but not for everyone. I got an email yesterday that there are still unsold rooms on a 12 day coming from Barcelona to Florida and an interior room was 399.00! It was around Thanksgiving but I think you missed the big travel rush dates. Vacationstogo.com always has last minute unsold cruises. Mary

As any of you who go on the internet , watch tv, or read newspapers know, the swine flu "epidemic" is affecting alot. Many major cruise lines stop in Mexico were this flu is raging so there is a possibility that your crise that is visiting Mexico in the near future will have an itenarary change… So far Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian aren’t visiting Mexico…. period…. Please read this article for more info. [url:61mckr35]http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/04/28/20090428tra-swineflu0428.html[/url:61mckr35]

When will the cruise ships start stopping in Mexico again? Was it just for the week of May 2 or is this going to continue through summer? If they do stop, will anyone want to get off the ship?
