The Hurtigruten outbreak was due to proper protocols not being followed. As time goes on, since human beings are fallible, there *may* be isolated incidents. Now, some people may be tempted to say "see? These slipups are why cruising shouldn't resume." Wrong. It means that mistakes are made and learned from. Which is why MSC and Costa, as well as TUI, have been able to cruise risk-free since then. There is no such thing as a cruise utopia, so if that's your standard, you'll be forever disappointed. The rest of us will move on with our lives and keep sailing.

Thank you,  well said

Are you currently allowed to fly out of canada to go on vacation, say to the caribbean where most islands require a covid test be done within 72 hours of arrival?  

 

The main obstacle is the 14 days quarantine on return to Canada. That's the deal breaker.

 

I would rather cruise out of Canada to New England if we had a bubble with the north east. Or Vancouver to Hawaii.

Personally, I worry about air travel. At least the cruise lines are cleaned constantly unlike airplanes that are turned around almost immediately.

Yes, we feel the same.   Whenever we flew pre covid we always wiped down armrest trays etc. As my Dh is immuno compromised.   We live in Pa and can drive to cape liberty or baltimore in 2 to 2.5 hrs so all the future cruises we booked this year and 2021  leave from those ports except for 2.  One for baltic in august and 1 out of tampa in january which we will cancel unless rcl cancels. 

With all the health protocols I would feel safe on a cruise ship but not in an airport or on a plane.

I agree with you. I live just 15 minutes to the port of Miami and close to PEV also 4 hours drive to Port Canaveral.
