Everything is changing but these were my thoughts last fall...

Celebrity's prices are out of this world. We have a credit but cant figure a way to use it yet.

We looked at Hawaii on Celebrity for 2021 or 2022. Same thing. Crazy prices. Maybe there is big demand for cruises that start and end in the US or Canada. We booked a Vancouver to Vancouver Alaska on HAL priced what we thought was fair. I had expected to book more than one cruise by this point. I told my spouse to look for deals after final payment and not beat our heads against the wall.

Yeah this is not really *the media* its basically clickbait. It goes on forever so it can feed you tons of ads. The OP fell for one of those "sponsored" stories someone paid to place on a mainstream site.

My spouse and I average below 55 so... 😜

I agree with the others. My favorites for this cruise would be Coral Princess or NA.

There's an online TA currently doing reduced refundable deposits with all the extras plus more. We figured we want the industry to survive. So we booked. If we are out a couple hundred dollars so be it.

Before we booked we found the base cruise on a certain bb travel site. We added taxes and tips which we would ne paying anyway and basically the dinners and drink package were "free." It seems prices and deals are always changing. You can always rebook.

Well we booked 2 vista suites so I'm really hoping we can go. Its about a year away.

Yes we lived in NL for 4 years so...all my favorite foods as well! Ty all.

I know! Shame on me. I told my spouse sometimes you just have to do it. There are some good deals and I want the industry to survive. We are booking tomorrow. As for Dutch Cafe, it is not listed as a dining venue on the ship overview on the HAL website.

We are thinking of booking a Vancouver to Vancouver Alaska cruise for 2021 on Koningsdam. It will give us all something to look forward to. I cant see any mention of the Dutch Cafe. Has it been changed? Hope everyone is safe and healthy! Jammu

Some will need to reduce inefficient capacity. Some may consolidate lines or merge with other firms. I fear for the HAL brand. We are thinking of using our FCC and the cancel for any reason offer and booking for fall. I see things going teo directions: one, smaller, more expensive and exclusive. Two, massive ship to basically nowhere party boats. I hope I am wrong but if it comes to pass I know where I will be.

April 25th has been cancelled. I'm disappointed but I understand.

Which sailing are you on?
