You knew the big three cruise lines were putting on the best face for a return to crusing after having done in a lot of Unvaccinated cruisers and talking about pent up demand.

This article comes as no surprise to me. - Tom

Cruise lines were floating Petri dishes even before Covid.

Bubble cruises!!!

Everyone gets a bubble suit.

And if you roll overboard, you won’t drown.

I made a first payment for a Caribbean vacation in 2019 for a vacation in 2020. Couldn’t go in 2020. Also couldn’t go in 2021. Hoping to go in 2022.

I won’t push it to 2023. If I can’t go this year, I’ll swallow a $300 loss and just decide no more traveling. For me, it’s not a cruise. But the concept is the same — who wants to ride this merry-go-round?

Once the Love Boat is now the Bug Boat.

One of the prime reasons I was never a fan of ocean cruises.

[JonPreston]

I suggest they cut back on the Venetian hour and dump the Don Ho act.

2025 is looking pretty good

Just out of curiosity how many cruises have you taken?

[hoe_cake]

Geez, how i miss cruising. Was hoping on a 3- or 6-month cruise before the plandemic.

[rktman]

Butt, butt, butt only vaxxed passengers and crew.

🚢🔬😨😷💉🐂💨💩💸

I was considering a cruise in 2022 but getting the jab is a big no to cruises for me.

[hoe_cake]

I would consider a smaller cruise, a River cruise, now. Of course, I don’t have to consider the expense because my partner would be paying.

[hoe_cake]

Cruises are just not everyone’s cup of tea. I have come to love them now that I know what to expect. I avoid the free food during normal dinner hours, I stay away from mass public, take the stairs when I can, and eat at 8pm. And, I don’t do exersions very often. I’m not one on being cattled around.

We have a cruise port in our county......
...so this will affect more than just the cruise line

fwiw, every cruise I have taken has been lovely.......the rooms and ship very clean....the food well prepared
....and I have never been sick

[American Infidel]

I don't think people are necessarily leery or afraid of catching the wuflu as much as they are afraid of paying for a cruise with all of the amenities, and then suddenly being placed on lockdown inside their cabins for a week in name of "safety" as they are fed like prisoners getting a plate of cold rice slid under their door once a day.

No Thanks. Plenty of other vacation options.

The Honduras Migrant Express will be making weekly sailings soon.

Wife n I have done mostly Carnival 15-20 total, 1 Norwegian n 2 Celebrity cruises. We won’t do one requiring a vax. That’s not the CL’s fault, they have to follow CDC guidelines. Maybe someday, we loved cruising.
