This will be the first year we haven’t taken the 14 day first-class cruise to Hawaii because of Rona. All the other years it’s been because we couldn’t afford it.
Everybody should be free to do it, no problem. When I vacation, I’m going for solitude. I’m glad that a lot of people choose to be all crammed together living like pigs.
RBG passing had knocked the COVID (hoax) off the front page. I expect the lock down to end soon too. It’s all Ruthie all the time for here on in to Nov 3rd.
I went on a 4 year “pleasure” cruise on a FF while in the Navy. I’ve seen enough of the ocean.
I've been on a number of them and never got sick once, except the one time I ate raw fish at midnight buffet (it smelled a little funny so that one is on me).
yes open them up! We all need to get back to normal.
Sorry, but the CDC will decide when you can go on a cruise.
The CDC has at least 6,000 opinions right now to go through, and the no sail order ends Sept,30 th .
, The CDC may have to extend the no sail order while they go through the opinions expressed by those who answered their questions and come up with a protocol the Cruise lines using American ports can choke on - or else. - Tom
my parents 60th is in Feb. i am planning on taking the entire family on a cruise to celebrate. The CDC can pound sand
Coffin ships—they should be allowed to sail but then not be allowed to stop at any ports.
Cruises banned from entering port in Hawaii.
I am fine with cruise lines reopening their tour business.
As for me personally, based on past experience and the recent “virus crisis” I would not do a cruise unless I got a an outer cabin where you can get the air directly from the ocean. And I would choose the least favorite hours for the buffets, as well as entertainment that was only outside on the decks. Though yes I would visit the casino - last time I won back 100% plus of what my daily charges were.
Neither have we.
I’ve eaten street food all over Asia in wet-markets, like the one in Wuhan where all this Covid19 nonsense started. I’m not afraid of the buffet on a Royal Caribbean ship.
I can well afford one. I can also afford a MB or BMW. But that doesn't mean I want one. Unlike a lot of people, I planned for my retirement and do better than 90-95 percent of the population.
I think you are overexplaining here.
No way I'd go on one of those petri dishes.
Did it once... never again. YMMV.
I'd rather overexplain than underexplain. It's like towing. I'd rather have too much truck than not enough truck.
Haven’t been on a cruise in 30 years, but I paid for a Jamaica vacation over a year ago. This covid BS is so over the top, I don’t see any way I can go even next year. The last thing I want to do is get a fever and be quarantined in a foreign country for 3 weeks.
Sounds like a virgin who claims he has no interest in sex because it can’t be very good.
Last October on the Boston to Bermuda cruise the Serenade of the Seas had an excellent buffet.
We rarely went to the main dining room.-Tom
I’m with ya. I don’t even like to go to town (1500) people. No way I’m getting cooped up on a ship with 5000 others. That said I support cruise lines operating again. If people want to cruise it’s their free will. Free will, isn’t that a quaint idea?
