Goodness, Robert&#33;  at least you are getting some answers&#33;  The discount does sound good.  I know you are driving down but just think about all the people who fly in...I guess that is the reason you need to get your tickets through Carnival and let them absorb the losses.<br /><br />Joey - Congratulations to you and David on getting your license&#33;  Tell us more details soon. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />I have been watching the news too...Seawall Blvd. doesn&#39;t look good.  I have been trying to see the hotel we are planning on staying at next Jan.  I have an ocean view suite booked for us the night before we sail and then for 3 nights after we get back.  I am beginning to wish I had booked a regular room in the back of the hotel&#33;
