geocruiser

Very sorry to hear that you were so sick with covid. I don't blame you for not wanting to cruise in Oct. And you are correct, it is not just like the flu for everyone. Over the course of the pandemic we have had so many family members catch covid. Sadly one did not make it through.

Thank you.

Thank you. Reading Cruise Critic gave me some of the info that I needed to make this personal decision. I will some day cruise again, but I can't say when.

This is how I see Covid on board Princess for me. I know that a cruise ship inside is more of a closed environment than outside. The crew and staff are wearing masks to help keep them safe from Covid. Which makes me think, why would I not want to be as safe as the crew and staff? I would want to be as safe as I can be. For me, If all PAX are not wearing masks I would not go. I have not gone on a cruise since the restart because I don't safe . Cruising has changed so much from what I have read on these boards, that I think that I would not have the cruise experience that I want. I am enjoying life at home in my town. I have hobbies to keep me busy and while it would be nice for me to go on a cruise, I can live without it for now, enjoying being on land. What is right for me may not be right for others.

Wishing you both well.🌻

Sorry to hear that she has Celiac. Maybe the could make some fancy fruit, if she can have that.

Have a great cruise. Check out if you can still get the small (free) birthday cake for Beck. They will also sing Happy birthday to her. Her birthday does not have to fall on the cruise for her to get the cake. You might be able to do it on line. Or tell the head waiter too.

That is right. This way a person can find their clam shell.

Would beach chair clips work. https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/clown-fish-boca-clips-set-of-2/1045752032?skuId=45752032&store=&enginename=google&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_sscoutdoor_online&product_id=45752032&adtype=&product_channel=online&adpos=&creative=545768559586&device=c&matchtype=&network=u&gclid=CjwKCAjwu5yYBhAjEiwAKXk_eM1odfIezYtPWtNLm36MXaMLutv_JZVJR27bLSIw6vmKWR9xNXnfrRoCjDAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

For a seven day cruise I sometimes bring 6 cans of diet Sunkist. If they sold it on board, then I would not bring it on. I also drink diet coke, which I get on board ship.

Here are some other things in the harbor to view as you are sailing out. Fort Jay Governor's Island https://npplan.com/parks-by-state/new-york-national-parks/governors-island-national-monument-park-at-a-glance/governors-island-national-monument/ https://www.govisland.com/history#:~:text=FORT JAY%2C CASTLE WILLIAMS AND SOUTH BATTERY&text=Castle Williams%2C the second of,were concentrated on Governors Island. https://www.nps.gov/gois/learn/historyculture/fortjay.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Jay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_Island Hoffman and Swinburne Island Just out side the V-bridge https://www.oldstatenisland.org/hoffman-island.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffman_Island https://www.abandonedspaces.com/hospital/swinburne-island.html?chrome=1 Brooklyn side of the V-Bridge is Fort Hamilton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Hamilton Staten Island side of the V-Bridge Fort Wadsworth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Wadsworth

Just to let you know. The cabin is small on Princess. A regular balcony cabin has only one chair to sit on. Have you thought of a obstructed deluxe balcony? That will have a loveseat that converts t a bed.

Are you thinking of four people in one balcony cabin on Princess?

Hi, We have sailed in Emerald 429,433, 437 many times. These are mid ship by the lifts. We love these cabin. Very good view with larger balcony.

I am sorry to hear that both of you are ill. Get well soon.

The shirt looks great. I don't know about preserving the autograph. It you put anything on it would it take away the value of the autograph, if you were to seel it?

They may also have coupons that you can print. They do put flyers in the newspapers. I had live beach side in Florida on a barrier island. Bealls was on the island. So, the carried swim suits all the time. There were also hotels on the island, so lots of winter guests looking for summer stuff.

Yes it would be. I live as a snow bird in Fl. for over 20 years. Bealls had swimsuits all winter when I was there. https://www.beallsflorida.com/

Is there a Bealls near where you are staying?

Would using a stabilizer help?

I would not go..(But that is me) Would you be comfortable on board? Or worried about getting covid? Will you be able to enjoy the cruise? Would you not go to shows, bars or onboard activities as before, because of covid ? Is it worth spending all that money with the chance of getting covid? Just think about how you would or would not enjoy the cruise. As for me and my husband we will not be cruising for a while. We are happy with what we did before covid. We enjoy each day , just different than pre covid. could I get covid not cruising, maybe. but at least I will have my own Dr. and not have the chance of being in a foreign country. Just sort it out. Maybe make a list of pros and cons and see which list is the winner.

Did you try to book another cabin in the same cat? don't cancel the one you have. Just see what comes up in price?

We loved Sitka. We enjoyed the Bishops house. Very interesting. And the church was al so nice. Everything that we saw was in walking distance from the pier that we were at. https://visitsitka.org/things-to-do/placestovisit/museums https://www.nps.gov/sitk/learn/historyculture/russian-bishops-house.htm https://stmichaelcathedral.org/ https://sitkahistory.com/ https://visitsitka.org/things-to-do/placestovisit/historic-sites https://visitsitka.org/things-to-do/placestovisit/culture https://visitsitka.org/things-to-do/placestovisit/wildlife

I would think that it might be hard to get dressed and shower. being there will be two female and one male in the cabin. Could you dad be able to take a inside cabin? Maybe two inside cabins?
