I would not like to do a socialy distant cruise. I sleep in my stateroom and thats it, I would not want it to be a prison. What is the point if you can't mix with people to chat and dine etc. isn't that why we love cruises?. .
So many people say yes they would as they miss cruising, but it will not be how they remember it to be.
We had a Mexican Riviera cruise booked for April 2020, together with LV, LA stays before the cruise and a SF stay afterwards. Luckily we got all our costs back.
We have booked the same cruise for next April, but at the moment are reluctant to book the flight and hotels etc. for the stays. If the cruise lines are making SD mandatory, we could pull out of the cruise, possibly lose the deposit, but if the UK government say its safe to travel (and the US will allow us in) we would have to either travel or stay at home at lose all the costs, as travel insurance would not cover it, if its our chice not to go.
It make the future difficult for us at the moment, and all the comments posted on social media that you read speculating what will happen are absolutely no help whatsover. You know the ones, they always start with "I've heard or I've read"..........
We have to wait for official announcements before decisions can be made.
I'm just hoping that things will be back to near normal in 10 months time, but accept there have to be changes, some of which will probably be for the better.
Would you go on a "socially distance" cruise
in Holland America Line
