Many of the TA's that give a big discount or big rebate want to be paid by check.. You can get a good deal with "Don't Leave Home W/O It" Platinum or Centurion Card Travel.plus rebate plus bonus points plus cruise credits.. Also, you have a big company standing behind what they sell even though only partly owned by Plat or Centurion now.. Refunds come quickly if needed.

Flossie, are you going to wear your voluntary mask on your cruise?

The world is slowly normalizing , I didn't realize that over 20% of Italy's and Greece's GDP is tourism... That's why all the rules are finally going bye, bye.. People have to eat and pay rent

Well, thank God I'll be cruising from Greece in June.... Where they have some sanity.. https://www.thesun.ie/travel/8733980/greece-covid-rules-scrapped-holiday/

Well, I have a cruise coming up June 26th from Athens to Athens to Rome.. I'll be damned if we need to wear masks on the cruise. I have 3 cabins booked for my family costing some $140K. If masks are required onboard better to cancel the cruise and give the me my money back.. I'll rent a villa w a yacht on the Italian Riviera in Liguria for the family for the 18 days
