Just wash your hands. Agreed, my wife and I have talked about this, there really is no reason to horde Lysol in your home. As long as you wash your hands when you get in and keep your house a reasonable level of cleanliness that should be sufficient. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I have serious doubt about our remaining 2020 cruises, Harmony 11/29 and 12/6. Cancelled Allure 10/18, 10/25 (President's cruise) and 11/1 TA out of Barcelona 3 days before final on the 18th. Not interested in giving RCI yet another no interest loan for cruises I don't think will happen. 😮 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It came in slower than the cash refunds, and with RCI's "fuzzy math" came in at 113%...nor 125%. 😕 Now...assuming I can actually use that 113% towards another future cruise (I have plenty to choose from booked a year ago for 2021 season)...at least I will indeed get 113% on my investment. Another consideration...will we ever actually be ABLE to actually cruise again to use that "113% future investment"?? 😮 All things considered...all refund requests going from that point...were cash refunds. 😉 2 Link to post Share on other sites

When all of this hit the fan we decided it was in our best interest to take the cash refunds for our cancelled 2020 cruises. We've got 3 cruises booked for 2021. I'll take cash refunds for those also if those cruises are a no go. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

dplusd Posted July 22, 2020 #140 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Personally at this point in time, I would not plan to visit the state of Florida in October and certainly would not plan to cruise. I know things can change, but for now, it does not look promising. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I look for lysol or any disinfectant spray wherever I go. I have always used lysol as regular part of my cleaning and other than insane prices online no stores here in bucks county pa or at shore house in LBI NJ have had it. Crazy! Guess I should have bought stock in cleaning products!! They must be booming. Target I am able to get everyday if I am there before 8 am.
