Roger88 Posted April 6, 2020 #102 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Even if asteroids hit the Earth, cruising will not stop. Like any other business it will operate as long as there is a place to operate and the people who like the services that you provide. I am sure such occasions happend before and nothing tremendously terrible happend. Its life and everything can happen. The only thing that I can wish everyone is not to give up and believe in your dreams and perusing them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipbound2 Posted April 6, 2020 #104 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Sure I will continuing cruising. You can't live in a bubble, are you going to stop driving because more people die on the roads then probably from this pandemic Edited April 6, 2020 by shipbound2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't live in a bubble, are you going to stop driving because more people die on the roads then probably from this pandemic I can’t just ignore your post without comment. Yes, car accidents happen & take more lives per year than this virus so far. As so eloquently as someone else posted a mere 4 weeks ago on this board “it’s just the flu”. No argument there. Maybe think for a minute how often that car wreck asymptotically caused future car wrecks resulting in death. Maybe the person I allow to remain anonymous who said “it’s just the flu” before everything shut down now should know that people way more in control (if not more knowledgeable) than you or me say wait awhile before you resume normal life..... I like cruising too. I also HAVE to go to work as an essential worker in a stay-at-home state for 2+ weeks now. Keep thinking positive but as I warned over a month ago don’t try to influence others into situations you can’t assume for them. Caution is sooo much better at this apex moment. I’ll cruise again eventually, but not until I feel safe that the moment I get off that ship, every person I love or work with will not inherit something from me that may not even give me the sniffles. Edit: By the way, as I was finishing my thoughts I got a text from my wife about her best friend in Chicago. Just found out she does have Coronavirus. Tested on Friday. Doctor thought she had it & sent her home. Doctor called Sunday & said no just an upper respiratory infection. Now called back & she’s confirmed. She works from home, rarely goes out & gets Door Dash food delivery. Edited April 6, 2020 by TooManyWakeUpsTilWeSail 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missholly24 Posted April 6, 2020 #107 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yes of course I will. Diseases will continue. As will car accidents, and heart attacks and cancer and etc. Once again seasonal flu (despite vaccines, etc) kills up to 80,000 Americans per year. Corona is currently at 10,000. Do you worry about the flu on your cruises? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to rebook for summer of 2021. We were booked on the same cruise...so disappointing. Definitely hope they have a nearly identical itinerary for 2022, as that one was perfect. All I know is eventually we will indeed enjoy cruising once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted April 6, 2020 #110 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I am planning to cruise again - rebooked my cancelled cruise for next year. I don't know if I will cruise this year, though. It will really depend on whether this virus gets under control. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a while though since the CDC put in new restrictions on the cruise industry being responsible for getting people home (or something like that, I saw it on youtube so I haven't verified it personally) Edited April 6, 2020 by Farts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4jaynki Posted April 6, 2020 #112 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Still cruising, and if for some reason the cruise industry goes belly up (which I highly doubt) we will find a new vacation format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted April 7, 2020 #113 Share Posted April 7, 2020 So, I will absolutely be cruising again. My wife and I me 40, wife 37 are scheduled for the Glory September 6th 2020....I am hoping that we will be able to cruise. We are scheduled for Nassau, Freeport and Key West... I am thinking they may cancel key West and give us an overnight in Nassau.... If September is Cancelled looks like we will try an All-Inclusive for the 1st time....

Darcy03231 Posted April 7, 2020 #114 Share Posted April 7, 2020 We'll continue cruising, but are going to wait until we think it's safe to do so. It may be next year, depending on what happens with the virus. DH is at higher risk so we're content to wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanaire Posted April 7, 2020 #115 Share Posted April 7, 2020 ABSOLUTELY! We love cruising and will never stop unless there are no cruises to take. You only live once. What could happen that's worse than sitting at home for 18 days straight now? I would just about give anything to have a Muster Drill right now! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouche Posted April 7, 2020 #117 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Yes I would, have the Mardi Gras booked for Feb 2021 provided it doesn't get pushed back again, if so I will rebook her for later in the year 2021. Now I would feel even better if there were a vaccine by then, but in the end I will sail. Lord willing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibby sails Posted April 7, 2020 #118 Share Posted April 7, 2020 usually cruise 5-6 times a year. Will definitely be cruising again but will hold off until November. Usually take three over the summer but might take one in August and see how that works. Already have three booked for November and December.

Elsie26 Posted April 7, 2020 #120 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I'm hoping to be on my May 25th cruise. If not then, I'll try to reschedule in September/October.

The point is that there are no guarantees Hopefully, they will give us a vaccine on the same lasting level and effectiveness as the small pox vaccine, the MMR vaccine, polio vaccine, etc. If this virus does not mutate, like the regular influenza, this could be possible. And then, there is the possibility of “herd immunity”, much like there is from the measles, if you were born before a certain date, and were exposed to this as a child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MississippiMom Posted April 8, 2020 #124 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I have mixed feelings. I live in an area that has been under “Safer At Home” orders for two weeks, and people are still out and about doing all sorts of stuff. (I am NOT talking about the essential workers and the essential outings.). The overall belief is “you can’t tell me what to do.” These are the same type of people who would get on their cruise when they are sick, not stay in their cabin if they were ill, and spread illnesses all over a ship. I think the cruise ships can do everything in their power to keep the ship clean, but it’s the travelers that are the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmackel Posted April 8, 2020 #125 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) We'll cruise again but it may be a while. Our September cruise on the Legend was canceled last week. We don't want to be stuck on a ship to no where. I'll try some land vacations for the next two years and see how that goes.
