Let me be part of the solution.

There is no way i would take a 3 hour flight to florida to get on a cruse ship with all the restrictions that are going to be 

placed on a passenger .

I will wait until this virus blows over and then may consider a cruise , but for the next couple of years , no chance .

This will leave a little more space for the avid cruiser that wants to get on a ship asap.

Enjoy your cruise .

Cheers !

No idea how I've survived this many cruises eating in the Windjammer and never been sick.😏

Good antibodies i would say , you have developed an immunity to other cruisers .🙂

You have probably witnessed some activities that make you cringe on a cruise ship .

buy another  german car  ?  maybe one with a softer suspension . 

The one i have now is more race car than luxury .

New ones have air suspension , should do the trick .

I never touched any food in the buffet with my hands , i always used a knife and fork .

That went for a muffin too . 

Never ate bread in the dining room either . Only food i ate came off my fork.

Used a napkin when i ate a hotdog so my fingers never touched the bun .

These were my rules to avoid noro , and they would apply to covid also .

But by the time i cruise ( if ever ) again in a couple of years all this virus stuff should be sorted out .

i wont consider a cruise any time soon . Dont need the extra hassle .

cheers ! 

wow , sounds like a good to place to visit .

I know what i am doing , lol .

Looks good . 

If i ever get on a cruise ship again (  has to be an oasis class ) and the dock can handle them I may 

see it for myself one day .

Ah. why take a chance , just don't cruise until all this virus stuff is put to bed .

I wont even consider cruising for a couple of years , not worth the hassle for me . 

I always brought a jacket to wear with dress pants , but on my last two cruises on the Allure id say half of the gents

were not wearing a jacket . 

If  ever cruise again I wont bring the jacket . It looks like you can  wear whatever you want .

They did not turn anyone away at the entrance .

One more reason for me not to cruise for a while . 

Why bother with all the perceived restrictions .

I will wait years for this to get sorted out .

No rush for me .

I wont be among the first in line either , I don't get flu shots , so I wont be getting this one .

I don't even like buying first year model cars , you know , so they can work out the bugs .

I always wait for second year production , as they seem to be more refined .

I can wait to cruise , no rush for me .

I`ll see how this new vaccine pans out on the sidelines for now.

You guys go ahead .

Cheers .

If you book directly with the cruise line you can call as many times as you like ( in Canada anyway ).

I got several price reductions on my last cruise on Allure . 

Don't know if you can book direct in the UK , but two cruises ago I used a travel agent linked to my credit card

and they ignored my phone calls and emails for a price reduction , so back to booking direct with Royal .

They will take your call and reduce the price accordingly .

I wont use a travel agent anymore .

No  way would I cruise again with restrictions . 

I may never cruise again , I don't really care .

I can wait a few years to see how this virus thing ends up .

Just saw a video on the Meriviglia and was very impressed .

I Usually do Oasis class on Royal Caribbean .

Compared balcony cabins and MSC is almost half price on sept 2021 

Any reasons why , or is royal still gouging .

regards 

Checked prices on Oasis for sept 2021 

Then saw a you tube video of the MSC  meriviglia  

checked same balcony cabin and they are 800.00 less per person CAD 

Why such a spread in prices , the ship looks fabulous and similar with a promenade .

RCCL is certainly not discounting yet . 

Im pretty loyal to royal , but now I am not so certain .

Im probably not going to cruise until 2022 anyway , but wow .

im gonna wait  a couple of years until they sort out their issues . I couldn't be bothered cruising soon after they lift restrictions .

Too much hassle for me , maybe not so much for others , so enjoy your cruise .

I am definitely not ready  to cruise .  

Never liked big crowed venues for a few years now  but tolerated cruises , but going to wait a couple of years 

to resume cruising , if ever .

Didn't somebody mention something about setting up cooking stations in the windjammer , where you cook up your own food ?

I will wait 2 years before I consider cruising again .  If I even cruise again , its too hot down there in the Caribbean .

as Remo said in Casino …. why take a chance . 

Cruising is fun , but this virus is serious  , so I am going to lay off for about 2 years 

until everything settles down . Like another poster said , it wont be much fun if you

get stuck on a ship with the virus spreading around . 

No cruise plans for a while , probably 2022 before I think about taking one .

We have flights to consider also , so I want to see where pricing goes on them .

We wipe down the drawers and storage cabinets too .  Then leave them open to air out for a little while .

Dirty socks and underwear could have been residing in those drawers a few hours before we got there .

Save the money and go with Oasis . Both ships have the same layout . 

Been on Oasis and Allure and would not pay more for Symphony .

You wont get 1800 dollars worth on the new ship .

I had the 9th level and 5 cabins from the back .  I could see the events and big screens fine .

But as others have mentioned , I only booked those cabins once for the novelty , and booked ocean view balconies

on all of my cruises after that . If I want to see anything I sit in the seats like the other poster suggested .

Kind of glad I didn't book anything for this year .

Got put off by the oppressive heat last September , so I thought we would take a break from cruising for a while .

We typically book eastern caribbean  on an Oasis class , mostly for the ship .

Going to wait for the ships to air out . 

They do a pretty good job on the Oasis class ships I have been on . They have the casino split up with a non smoking side and a smoking side . They positively pressurize the non smoking side ( bring more fresh air in than they exhaust ) to keep the smoke from the smoking side from migrating over . You will get some carryover , but for the most part it seems to be effective.

They would most likely keep the smoking side on a negative pressure to help keep the smoke on that side .
