We are on 7/3 cruise too and booked direct with Iceland Air for $700 pp; Viking Air was $1,098 pp! We have been to Iceland before and transport is very well organized there.

Any sign of shore excursions yet? We are on 7/3 sailing.

No, I was speaking about companies that have used their influence to "jump the queue" here. -

Believe me, these large corporations have access to vaccines - at a price. There are many instances of vaccines being given to people who aren't legitimately eligible here in Illinois. Money buys access. -

I hoped it would be otherwise but I guess X can command a premium for a brand new ship. -
Me too. For those having to travel from US, with airfare and hotel stay, just too much to risk given the current situation in Greece is also uncertain.

Where did you read that? From The Guardian online: "Greece hopes to reopen its doors to visitors on 14 May, the country’s tourism minister has said as he announced a much-awaited date for the tourist season to officially begin.

All visitors will be subject to random testing upon arrival." No, it's not a fact yet, but I'm willing to book now and hopefully we can go, otherwise it's just another cancelled cruise.
