One interesting observation - I have seen quite a few refer to 'casual' where the Cunard dress code is in fact referred to as 'Smart attire'! I don't remember Cunard using the term 'Casual' regarding the non-Gala nights on board.

Do people actually travel, and go on cruises without travel insurance? If you were unlucky and had a serious medical problem whilst on a voyage you could end up with astronomical costs that you would then be fully liable for on your own. That make no sense to me at all unless you have infinite assets at your disposal to pay for potentially hundreds of thousands of pounds, or much much more.

It is not back to the way it was - it is the new normal, and we all have to live with Covid as part of life. So we make our cruise decisions accordingly, and of course not everyone will make the same decisions or assess the risks the same way.
