we have sailed on Celebrity and had a really nice time.  If anyone asked me which premium cruise line to sail it would definitely be Celebrity.

We currently have a reservation on a BA 744 upper deck seats 64J and 64K, Heathrow to Cape Town in January 2021.
My understanding is that it is almost identical to the 747.
Obviously this flight will probably not happen, but maybe the experience you’ve had is still there.

744 short for 747-400 being retired

So, I would rather be on a ship, wearing a mask, than wearing a mask in the supermarket. 

these paragraphs particularly worrying:

"The difficulty to date of cruise ship operators to submit and adhere to appropriate NSO response plans during a time of limited operations, as well as ongoing concerns relating to non- compliance with disease prevention protocols and continued outbreaks of COVID-19 onboard cruise ships, highlight the need for further action prior to resuming passenger operations"

"........... the Director of CDC finds that cruise ship travel exacerbates the global spread of COVID-19, that the scope of this pandemic is inherently and necessarily a problem that is international and interstate in nature, and such transmission has not been controlled sufficiently by the cruise ship industry or individual State or local health authorities. As described in the March 14, 2020 Order, cruise ship travel markedly increases the risk and impact of the COVID-19 disease epidemic within the United States"

whoever drafted & approved this document is certainly not a fan of cruising or the cruise companies  ☹️

stagnant air in a/c??

masks?

Since we have enjoyed many cruises on Regent ships, and if it requires wearing masks, both crew and guests, count me in!

What I'm looking forward to is when production so ramps up that we can start buying useful masks that are fashionable as well.  You know, matching my outfit, etc.

I'm not encouraging speculation about when and if there'll be a vaccine, whether it will be effective or not, but assuming there is an ongoing risk of some kind

I don't think we need endless speculation here on this thread about whether the virus will be around or not.  Let's assume it will be in some form or other.

virus still around + no vacine = no cruises
