Tons of us have done this cruise under some name. One I wish I did the same cruise twice so one day you rush around on a tour and the next time you do your own thing .

like a nice lunch out. 
 

land tour..no way.. there enough to do in Tokyo to keep you busy for days. Also you can price it out for less using many companies.

I did the old Legwnd was good for the breeze coming in and sunset pictures. Was booked on Breeze and switch to legend for fall 2021.

Thank you! I appreciate your input @uktog, @Host Jazzbeau, @ellbon.

 

It may just be a pipe dream that we’ll actually get to go in 2021, but even if we have to wait until 22 or 23, information is helpful. I’m going to continue to gather information.

My favorite place to go is a good bookstore and read. I have taken pictures of reviews  In Frommers  or Fodders and looked up menus etc online. I also  done  the same with hotels. 
 

like everyone here social media had ideas in the end you have to trust your own judgement. 

But in most cases I would lick,a major city and work with day trips.

In the states the top companies are  18. Only Cuba I had smaller

Barcelona, Santorini ,Athens, Seville , list goes on and on.

Which ports been to many of thrm. Yes, to,Perth and the prison in Fremantle.  Sydney plan on stsying days. Also book your own NYE package as you will get better thsn what the ship offers ..at least less money 

Been no problem here, my agent spoke to someone on Monday who was working from home which could be part of the problem.

I know people who go out to eat without masks. They have cross state lines.  I am willing to wear a mask just to go To Drs, eat etc. I do not understand why They will not. I hope to sail out of FL  bit it will be months.

anne, I would be careful of holiday hotels as that is where people from states will go to get away from winter,

I have mix feelings about Azamara Pursuit  this fall.  Yet,,Windstar starting late Oct out of Greece. Crystal talking about sailings out if Mia in Oct. so only time will tell.

at this point I am more concern about winter 2021. I believe S America could be a problem.

My agent has called more than once  and so far no word on cruises before Oct 1st. 

I got an email for one cruise on Pursuit..not fir the others. My agent got nothing. If you go,on an airline site flights are going to,Spain in Oct non stop for ORD. Yes, that could change too..again! The question is for Americans do we get tickets or not. My first set if tickets was cancel in March. But now they are back! 
 

Since we have to,July to cancel  I waiting.

Yes, after over 2 months in the UAE, the Quest is finally on the move.

Where is she going? Where the JR?  Azamara still selling fall cruises. I have yet to canceL. I want out  of the states I would take a cruise just to leave,

We just received a mail from Azamara that last payment date for our cruise on October 10th would be delayed by 30 days. Good move by Azamara.

It is also nice to see localy in Norway there will be oportunity to sail with Hurtigruten and Seadream from mid June. So far Norway will only allow travel from Denmark.

Well, that means close to July. Works for me. 

I am not sure who,I want to cry for first. The officers and crew or their families.

plus how many months home to be with families. 
 

Like a war  they are gone for a year.

So you are saying Carl abd other top officers are stuck on board another month. 
 

wonder how many officers and crew will want  to come back 

I am friends with a band member he bit off the  ship,15 minutes before CDC shut it down. It is his friend said the 3d try his flight was cancel. 
I was going away this month..knew Inwas canceling flight..but before I cancel it has been chsbged twice and it a short flight I do twice a year.

Thanks for sharing the Article. I'm surprised Pursuit crew isn't part of the RCI/Celebrity plan using ships then charter flights to get home considering their current location.

 I do know that in some cases they are. I have a friend who was on Pursuit who is now on Explorer OTS. Charters have been arranged but last I heard (a week ago) his country was on lockdown and charter planes not allowed. 

And the main problem. The CDC,coast guard, our govt etc. one person has tried three times to just gdt off Pursuit to man RCCL,ship and somehow each time the flight was cancel. Our airports are pretty much shut down.

It does in a social media site I read a report by American. I known for a week my flights were cancel or changed. It was not updated under My Trips by AA.com. So you do need to stay on top of it.

On a different ship and our captain or main office cancel all of Asia.

Everyone is canceling Singapore  so AZ  should be.

I suspect in this era of political correctness acts like Jim are not going to be used by cruise lines. 
They moved to some really good quality piano bar entertainer (eg Ed Walters) but then stupidly asked them to go during the ill fated entertainment revamp and other lines snapped them up.  
Last year, there was a really great piano player/singer Gemma Rose. Is she on any of the ships these days?

Ann,you are thinking of Ed Waters.He just opened on the brand new Regent ship. He flew to Europe  to join  and bring her from the shipyard. Have no idea what happened to Max.

Also the four piece band I got to hear for two months. The singer is married to the drummer. The Living Room was busy with them playing at night. Great people..think her name is Sheena.

In general Phil is correct. But I have done it a couple times in the past.

It is not nice to hear what is happening to people just because they have a chinese passport. If the crew member was on the ship so long without having contact to infected people, why are they denying her entry to Indonesia?

 

Ask the Captain and HD. Last I heard nothing yet was decided. But people with Chinese passports could not travel in Asian waters. Meanwhile our ship could change its ports. Will know more soon.

Pursuit did not do that in November 2018 so is this a recent change. The only shuttles were to the Marriott 

Ann, you are correct..I should of said which hotel. But the Belmont is under ten minute walk. I used one  of the gift shops at Marriott and walked there and to the mall at night.A very safe walk at night.
