Izena Posted December 20, 2020 #26 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Agree it has been a historic year. Looking forward to ski trip... everything in Breckenridge Co shut down except for carry out. We have lift tickets reserved for the week. So just ski all day then chill out in front of a fire. Pretty sure April cruise will be cancelled but contingency plan is to transfer my son and granddaughter to my Sept. 2021 cruise out of Portland, ME. I’m already booked for a single.

We did that itinerary back in October, 2019, and enjoyed it very much. Since then, we have had five cruises cancelled, by various cruise lines. Our "Now Next Cruise" is the Ohio River (St. Louis to Pittsburgh) in September 2021, aboard ACL's Queen of the Mississippi. Hopefully, that one will sail.

Good luck and Happy Holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suitcasefull Posted December 26, 2020 #31 Share Posted December 26, 2020 March - Florida Rivers is only one with ACL. I've never sailed with them and companion has never been on anything like this so new experience. Not holding breath but hopeful since all within US. They took final payment this week, not that that means anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebhoward3 Posted December 26, 2020 #32 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Alaska Explorer cruise, round-trip Juneau June 24, 2021. Was canceled, re-booked, canceled, and re-booked to the current booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the first upcoming cruises would be Jazz & America first of March (New Orleans), quickly followed by Star (Jacksonville). So those are the ones I'll be keeping a close eye on to see if things really do developed as hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izena Posted December 28, 2020 #34 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I just scheduled my covid vaccine for next week. So excited. It’s a step in right direction. Still don’t think my April cruise will happen. ( My co- travelers are 49 and 25 don’t think they can get vaccine by then although I’m surprised mine is so early) Will post after first dose with experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word here on any timing, much less scheduling. Not that I'm in favor of getting something that was rolled out so quickly but if it's the only way travel is allowed, guess I'll get it.

Word from travel agent today says has documents from ACL; just holding for now in case there are updates. Kind of wishing now had scheduled later in March but we'll hope the first ones sail!

Ray in NH Posted December 31, 2020 Author #37 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi All, I think it is "high time" to say "Good Bye" and perhaps "Good Riddance" to the year 2020. It has been "different", that is for sure. We are raising a glass, and hoping for a much better 2021. We now aren't scheduled to cruise again until September 2021, unless things improve more rapidly then appears probable, at this time. Maybe then we will use more of those remaining Future Cruise Credits? Happy New Year to all our Cruise Family (Families). NRayH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jklc123 Posted January 1, 2021 #40 Share Posted January 1, 2021 ACL Hudson River cruise in October this year, postponed from 2020. Also Pearl Seas Great Lakes cruise late May/early June 2021. Thought it would be safe when we booked it months ago, but now I’m not so sure, unless vaccination rate increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vino100 Posted January 4, 2021 #41 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I just booked New Orleans round trip on October 3rd. we have done many ocean cruise, but thought a smaller ship would be good with Covid. after reading a few reviews on CC I’m concerned . Is the service and food really that bad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the service and food really that bad ? "Really that bad????" I have some difficulty assigning that level to food/service on ACL. My perceptions are based on over 130 total cruises (six of which were with ACL), I find the food and service quite acceptable -- not necessarily at the level of some cruises we have done on "luxury" lines but can not recall any incidents, on ACL, that I would characterize as "really that bad". Actually, we find it much "better" than what we have experienced aboard Princess Cruise Line voyages. NRayH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vino100 Posted January 4, 2021 #43 Share Posted January 4, 2021 That is wonderful news. I always am skeptical of bad reviews which is why I asked for info from people who actually have cruised on America lines. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'll be able to schedule Pfizer vaccine, first shot by end of January. I'm wondering, though, how long immunity lasts. Have cruises scheduled for mid-summer -- if immunity lasts only a few months, may I'd be better off waiting a couple more months to start. Searching the web, but not finding any answer yet...
