Thank you!!

We’re similar in that we’re just doing our first river cruise in Provence this year after many ocean cruises. I have a dear friend who specializes as a travel agent in cruises of all sorts and she puts AMA and Uniworld on top. We chose AMA bv we hit them when they were having a 20% sale which made their cost similar to Viking. Friend likes AMA bc fewer passengers, bikes always available, local wines are a focus, and incredible food. Not saying the other higher end aren’t similar but her preference plus the sale and timing made it our choice. Also, we didn’t do big ships to anywhere but the Caribbean. To do the frantic disembark with all the other pax in really interesting destinations where a few hours is not enough, is not for us. The appeal of river cruises is the less frantic vibe and smaller, immersive excursions. We’re really excited!

We have doggedly been communicating with X since debarking 3/28 with my husband having been sick since 3/26. They have advised us we should see the reimbursement for hotels, etc. by mid-May.

Thank you! Not my crush lol.

Is Bennett from Silhouette on the entertainment team on Beyond? thank you.

Thank you. I will! But if anyone knows the answer to post here that would be great!

Hello. I just saw a short video clip where it looked like the CD was from the activities team from Silhouette. (Okay I developed a happily married crush on him in March and we’re also not cruising for a while but I have to know if it’s the same guy ☺️) Thanks!

What we did: we washed, we masked when not required to, we sanitized, wiped down cabin, took homeopathic immunity supplements twice a day, didn’t touch handrails or buttons, spent 80% of our time outdoors and distanced, masked on two excursions w transport, masked during cab rides. We were triple vaxxed. What we didn’t do: avoid every conversation w new people though we were usually outside or distanced. Didn’t have an empty table next to us in MDR and enjoyed our dining neighbors.l tremendously. We did check if they were boosted. We didn’t avoid chatting “inside” our catamaran trip or out on the catamaran deck. We didn’t avoid chats at the bar. My husband still got covid. He survived. It was depressing and sad but we very much enjoyed 8 out of our 10 days aboard. He was taken to a cabin and pretty much ignored but by the ot was day 9. I think you have to look what can happen in the eye, accept the risk, bring otc meds and lots of reading, and enjoy every minute without fear (unless you are high risk, that would change things) but knowing there is a chance. Like Noro, Covid is going to be around us for a long time. Be prepared and enjoy every beautiful moment. An aside: we ourselves are off cruising for a while. After our March experience and our 2020 experience (not covid related but a crazy experience) we need some time for the cumulative ptsd to heal. On all counts, Celebrity did they very best they could and we have nothing bad to say. We will miss it but there’s plenty of terra firms for us to enjoy. An all-inclusive is next!
