deadzone1003 Posted January 21, 2021 #26 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Sorry everyone, my opinion was of sailing from the USA. Europe, China, Japan, Singapore will probably start up months before we will. I'm just curious. When we embark from the USA for a r/t cruise and the ship is registered in, say, Panama, do all the rules and laws of Panama applies to our ship when we are on the high seas? If not, what does?

I now am near 99% there will be no cruises before July and 80% before December. I think that July will be the new start date because you have t0 wait 4-6 weeks for the vaccine to take full effect.... Thats my best guess based on what is happening and the incompetent management or lack of it giving the shots... I dont see people getting shots before the end of MAY.

If they’re not sailing by then, we’re canceling. I’m guessing most will do the same before forking out more money. How much money, for how long, do they have left? I have to agree with your time line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatbush Flyer Posted January 21, 2021 #30 Share Posted January 21, 2021 22 hours ago, Cruise Wonderland said: @Flatbush Flyer The Travel Advisory is a bit unclear this time. I have checked with Oceania and it should be: Paid by cash (deposit only) >>> refund the deposit by cash Paid by cash (full payment) >>> refund full amount by cash Paid by FCC >>> FCC will be reissued Paid by a combination of cash & FCC >>> cash will be refunded, FCC will be reissued Therefore guests do not need to make a cash refund request this time. The refund will be processed automatically. You may refer to the Travel Advisory of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Their policy is the same but it is written more clearly. Which is exactly what I said in post #18. One of my pet peeves about O is attention to website text in a variety of areas whenever a policy changes. Often, the website ends up contradicting itself by lack of thorough editing or it omits language in one place that appears in another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha 1 Posted January 21, 2021 #31 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I would not count out Med cruises in June just yet. Example; Riviera is currently in Genoa and unlikely to come back to the US just to do a TA. EU is already allowing 7 day cruises and even back to back 7 day cruises. June is 4 months away and vaccine distribution will be widespread by then. O has limited cabins and separated crew to one per berth. All must test negative before boarding. I remain optimistic . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so right. Florida is doing a pretty good job of giving the shots. If we could get more vaccine it would be still better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all on allocations established by the government. We need to get more vaccines CDC approved as quickly as possible. Hope the J&J Phase 3 trials goes smoothly!

GICNJC Posted January 22, 2021 Author #36 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It is not only vacinated individuals in US that have to be considered, as passengers from other countries especially Canadians, Australians, UK, which account for the most of Oceania's passengers. The target for 60% of Canadians vaccinated is Sepember. Then we have to consider the country ports rules we are to visit. Then, with the exception of Nautica, (which normally does not enter US waters), the rest of the fleet has to follow CDC directives which will take a minimum of 75 days to receive a green pass. Just Information from my view point to help you plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadzone1003 Posted January 22, 2021 #37 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Just saw on the Celebrity forum that the CDC has extended their no-sail order until end of September. My cruise is not until November on the Sirena. I wonder if Oceania will use Bridgetown as a home base for some of their Caribbean cruises like Royal Caribbean.

Rare pinotlover Posted January 22, 2021 #38 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I didn’t miss it by much. I predicted that Fauci would work with the CDC to shut down the cruise industry in the US by the 21st. He waited until the 22nd. The cruise industry can now effectively ignore the CDC and work with other nations, that want tourism dollars, to develop successful protocols so to bring back the cruise industry. Oceania is wasting money parking the Regatta in OR. If contractually possible they should look to move it somewhere less expensive for cold storage. Remember, Fauci doesn’t care about economic consequences, not his purview. Biden just drove the stake through the heart of thousands of Americans this coming summer whose livelihood depends upon the cruise industry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took information from the State Department website about the new testing and quarantine requirements for those entering the US and the web page also had a link to the CDC No Sail Order that extended the order through September 2020. False alarm caused by poor web page design and a person who didn't read the link to see what it actually said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlevin Posted January 23, 2021 #42 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Actually if you look at the seven day average of new cases it has been coming down rather quickly for a little while now. With over 1,000,000 vaccinations a day and post holiday surge past its peak; time for the good news to actually be reported. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this intended as a political comment? Apparently it has already started here. This week the trend is continuing to increase. If you ignore the holiday weekend, the trailing 3 day number for the USA is 1,130,000/day as of today. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-covid-vaccinations?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&country=~USA®ion=World If you take an optimistic view, the trend will continue to climb especially with additional vaccines being approved as well as the structure to deliver vaccine being improved over time. If you take a pessimistic view, you can believe that the supply is not going to be adequate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
