We booked the Koningsdam for the 18 day San Diego to Hawaii RT on 3 November. I am confident we will sail with normal loading and traditional distancing.

Your Mexico cruise in Dec should be fine.

If not? Then I will book the next one

We are ready to go.

If they cancel. No big deal.

It's not like I am using my rent money to go on cruises.

Is this just a gut feel or do you have some information.  We are also booked on that cruise (with the 7 day Mexican Riviera extension) and I'm having my doubts, especially considering how protective Hawaii is being presently.  The trouble is, I'd like to use that vacation time this year (we're not fully retired).  Also reading that a recent economic report by the state of Hawaii makes the assumption that no cruise ships will be docking anywhere in the state until the second half of 2021.  

My partner and I were on a 24 night Baltic and Highlands trip in June. It was our first time on the Zuiderdam. We had some issues. We had a suite and after long days of sightseeing, all we wanted was a quick nap before dinner. They were constantly working on the ship - grinding rust off stantions and davits right below us. We complained. What could they do? They offered to move us to another suite on the other side of the ship after the first 12 days or the voyage (it was two back to backs) but we were all settled.

That said, the ship was fine. The interiors are very nice. The Dining Room was lovely. The staff were terrific. We can nap when we're dead, right? We had a good cruise, saw loads of stuff and would do it again in a heartbeat.

50s couple from Toronto doing two back to backs on the Zuiderdam in June. Would love to hear from any other couples who may be booked. We've got some cars reserved for Shetland Islands and Isle of Skye we could share with like-minded souls.

Pretty easy-going, non-scene guys.

My partner Gary and I will be doing two back to back cruises on the Zuiderdam beginning June 10 in Copenhagen. Would love to connect with any other couples who may be travelling also. We're big on setting up our own excursions and we enjoy having others join us.

My partner and I just booked. Two weeks starting Dec 14. Our fourth trip on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Will probably be at the FOD. We're quiet types but say hey if you see us around.

Partner and I are cruising Viking Aegir Amsterdam to Budapest September 1, 2014. Would love to know another male couple were going, just for the heck of it.
