Do you think that with the swine flu I will still be able to go on my cruise?

Yes, you will still be able to cruise. Carnival has posted a notice on their web site that they will not for the immediate future be making any port stops in Mexico. Their cruises will go to other ports and/or spend more time in the ports that they visit, or have more "at sea" days.

" Miami - April 29, 2009 7:00PM

Carnival Cruise Lines has canceled port of call visits to Mexico for 11 of its ships that are currently operating voyages and had scheduled stops in Mexico.

Additionally, for the 15 ships departing between Thursday, April 30 and Monday, May 4 with itineraries including calls in Mexican ports, those schedules have been modified. In many instances, the modification simply involved substituting an alternate port. Click here to see the details on the modified itineraries.

Guests who do not wish to sail on a modified itinerary may opt to receive a refund in the form of a future cruise credit equal to the full amount paid for the voyage. The credit may be applied to an alternate sailing departing through the end of 2010. Compensation for missed ports/altered itineraries (where applicable) for guests who sail varies by itinerary.

With four and five-day cruises from Galveston and New Orleans that are being converted to seven-day voyages, those guests may opt to receive their refund in the form of a future cruise credit or money back.

For cruises departing after May 4, an update will be provided in the near future. Guests are encouraged to check carnival.com periodically for further updates. "

Carnival has posted itinerary changes on its web site:

Other cruise lines have also made these same changes.

I think this whole thing will blow over by then. Just keep watching the news on the carnival website and that will keep you up to date.

Carnival has cancelled all stops in Mexico for this week & next. So it really all depends on what happens before you guy, but if it stays like this or gets worse then they will either re-route you to different ports or cancel, or let you choose a different cruise. I am going May 30th with stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya. We keep calling, but they say they are waiting until it gets closer, they said we should have an answer 2 weeks before our cruise departs. Good luck!

It depends on the state of the flu by about, I'd say, June 5th or so? That's a ways away, but, to be honest with you, the state of Mexico's swine flu isn't improving, nor is anywhere else's. Keep your fingers crossed for a miracle cure -- or go to Europe.

I would call Carnival. They may keep it on, but I doubt it. In this economy the last thing they want is to be sued because people dying on them. I wouldn't go if I were you, because if they still have it and you don't get off the boat, the other cruise members still may have gotten infected and they can effect you.
