We very much like Seabourn but have decided not to book another cruise until the whole mask/ quarantine/ testing fiasco is finished. We’ve just booked all our vacations for 2023 as land trips. I do hope at some point by 2024 governments and the cruise industry just accept covid as we do the flu and have no special restrictions in place. The U.K. now hardly ever mentions covid and all things here are back to normal. This is where we need to be.

Until the testing stops we have decided not to take another Seabourn cruise, or any other that requires testing. The threat of isolation and a ruined vacation is still too great. With everyone now triple or quadruple vaccinated, it’s inevitable that it will stop soon but the CDC seems to work at a snails pace.

Anyone know if they are enforcing mask wearing when in Italian ports as per their website info. We were on an Azamara 2 months back and we departed Ravenna and their was no mask requirements either outbound or on the return. This must must be Oceania’s interpretation of the rules or their own company policy, or other lines are just not complying. Not sure which at the moment. The Italian rules I’ve seen state masks on public transport including ferries, but does not specifically say cruise ships which I guess are not really public transport.
