I think covid is not going away anytime soon(too many wont listen to guidelines in america ), so the only way i see it happening is if they (cdc) decides that we have to now live with it. Dont stop cruises anymore but just make us sign a waiver and they do the best they can distancing ppl and extra safety precautions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaveWeMetYet Posted August 6, 2020 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don't think they want to sail until the Covid situation has gone away. There is too much risk. If they come out with strict guidelines and fail they face the liability for that failure. It looks more and more likely the primary method of transmission of covid is aerosols so face mask and social distancing have limited protection. Contact tracing is proving that out. Too many workers at healthcare facilities are getting sick and they take all the precautions. Most of the people I see with a mask are wearing one that is effectively useless anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted August 6, 2020 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2020 10 to 15 % But if you do sail, hopefully your home state doesn't require a quarantine upon your return from Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figdu Posted August 6, 2020 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2020 We have two booked in November from Florida. I don't think there is any chance of cruises happening from US ports until next spring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanger727 Posted August 6, 2020 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Well, I believe that CLIA has already announce an extension of no cruising until Oct 31; so agree that your October cruise isn't going to go. I think it's incredibly unlikely at this point that Dec 2020 will go either. Really just comes down to how many times you want to reschedule. If it were me I would shoot for summer 2021 or later.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree.critter Posted August 6, 2020 #10 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I just had a short cruise canceled on October Elation. I’m thinking of rebooking a November Breeze expecting it to be canceled so that I can get a $600 OBC instead of the $300. Only downside I see is that Breeze sails and I don’t have to wait until next years cruises which are already booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerman2 Posted August 6, 2020 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Seaman11 , you've gone down this path before and it didn't work out well. Now there was a ship (?) sailing with ONLY 66 pax and Covid reared it's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyancho Posted August 6, 2020 #17 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) The chances are less than zero. They have tried to restart cruising in Europe and Alaska on small ships using very strict protocol. The startup has been disastrous. Imagine what it's going to be like on ships that hold thousands of people. It's just not going to happen.

Oulton Jim Posted August 6, 2020 #19 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I can see the thinking behind cruises from/around US. I can see cruises happening around the turn of the year around Europe -IF the vaccines prove effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
