Looks like the cruise industry is getting desperate. I've never seen a rate this low before, hope someone can take advantage of it. You can do a 4 Day Baja Mexico (minus the Mexico) for $99 for an interior cabin. For two people, after port taxes and fees, it comes to $292.20 (Leaving from San Diego, departing May 10) or $273.76 (Leaving from Los Angeles, departing May 11). That comes to $36.53 per person per night for San Diego, or $34.22 per person per night for Los Angeles.

This will probably be more beneficial to CA residents, but this offer is available to anyone.

The 4 Day Baja Mexico itinerary is actually a Catalina itinerary. The ship leaves from San Diego/Los Angeles, visits Catalina Island, then you have 2 "Fun Days At Sea"

MikeDirntRulez: Due to the "Swine Flu Pandemic", all cruises with a destination in Mexico are being diverted to Catalina Island off the coast of Southern California.

Russell: Are you sure? I've read cruise ships are being diverted to San Francisco http://www.kron.com/News/ArticleView/tabid/298/smid/1126/ArticleID/1271/reftab/36/t/Two-Major-Cruise-Lines-Call-on-San-Francisco-Instead-of-Mexico-Because-of-Swine-Flu-Fears/Default.aspx


They're going to a lot of different places. Some are going to Key West, St. Thomas, Nassau, etc.

Quote from abstractj :
Not unless you pick the 'Suite' which is $819 a person. I think the Paradise (leaves from Long Beach) does not have what they call 'Camp C' which are for kids 2-11, so it's a no go for me and my family.
Do you know for sure that they dont have a camp C ?? I read otherwise. Can you please send a link ?

Thanks

Quote from yazooo :
Guys, this is the Elation and Paradise ship , both ships INFECTED

these were infected with SWINE FLU, I called priceline, confirmed. thats why they are doing SD -> catalina ->SD or LA -> CAt _> LA, no mexico.
All I read is that they are not going to Mexico because of the Swin Flu risk BUT I didnt read that they are infected. Can you give us further information please ?

if my wife didn't get laid off, I'd be totally all over this.. Awesome deal.. Congrats to those that can afford it!

As for avoiding mexico... Who cleans up after you? Who makes your bed? Who serves you food?.. I have never been on a cruise ship, but figured it'd be like little mexico on those..

Price for one adult and two kids comes out to 470 $ for the oceanview / 410 $ for inside (BTW - had to call to get the price for 3 people).
Both kids --- 2 yrs. and 7 months have to pay the full amount, though. Boohhh !

My bad, it does have Camp Carnival. Now only if you can book for more than 2 people other than the Suite.

Quote from ionizer :
swine flu is no worse than regular flu, in fact its not even as severe

every year tens of thousands of people die from the regular flu
so far ONE AMERICAN has died form swine flu and she had a buttload of underlying complications

stop believing the BS hype the media wants you to fear and read "in between" the media and find out the real deal
yes you are right that the media is definitely blowing it out of proportion to the actual severity. The real underlying issue though is that pigs carry genetic variants of respiratory cells that make them prone to catching both the normal human flu [more of an upper respiratory illness] and also avian flu [deeper in the respiratory tract]. And we all know avian flu is a true issue... thus what is scary is if somehow a pig gets avian flu and it essentially infects the other cells within its respiratory system [upper part] that match the human upper respiratory cells but still has the avian flu lethal strike. Then somehow this infects a human but has easy human to human transfer [unlike avian flu]. Thus we will see the lethal force of avian flu world wide but with the easy transferability of human flu [that resides in the upper respiratory tract].

Now how likely is this? I have no clue... but I would say not very. But I am just letting you know why they are afraid of the whole "swine" part.

NOTE - I may not be 100% accurate but that is the gist of it.
