Thanks for this. Just rounding numbers, but it looks like about 40% have tested positive. That’s a lot to me. I have a cruise booked for this fall and can’t decide if I should go. I probably would have cruised already if I could drive to a port, but I worry about all the time spent in airports, planes, shuttles, taxis, etc. I hope more people answer your poll. It’s very illuminating. For me, 40% is a lot. Thanks.

The Sapphire was my favorite ship for years before they moved her away from the US. As for reviews, no one has traveled on the Sapphire for a couple of years. It’s difficult to guess on condition at this point, but the crew will be completely different so old reviews really don’t apply. Personally, I would pick the Sapphire just because I loved the ship before and I prefer a smaller ship to Alaska. I like the Royal class ships, but not for Alaska. I’ve been on Princess, HAL and NCL to Alaska. Others mentioned the NCL Bliss which I enjoyed, but the Bliss didn’t go to Glacier Bay when I was on it. I liked the observation lounge, but outdoor viewing wasn’t that good.

The Crown is scheduled to do the 28 day RT to Tahiti in November 2022 and March 2023. I read skepticism in previous posts that these propulsion problems can be fixed in the October dry dock. It sounds like something to be concerned about.
