Hence we will probably get a anouncement in the next days that all cruises in North America and Europe will be cancelled until Mid September and in one more month probably that all cruises are cancelled in Europe for the remaining season and the US until at least mid or end of october and so on. Yep. After final payment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash is king right now and every druise line is starved for it. Whatever it takes for survival at this point. Looking forward to the day we are all at a sailaway party and laughing at this! I fear a sail away party to the beaches of Alang, India 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and they´ve added this to their Cruise Health and Travel Alerts site: "CLIA has announced the voluntarily suspension of U.S. cruise operations until September 15. We will share more details about this announcement with our guests early next week." All cruises (except for China) til Mid September are not bookable anymore since early last week (prior to the CLIA announcement). Same for Celebrity. So expect an announcement on Monday or Tuesday. steamboats Edited June 21, 2020 by steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK government is in the middle of talks to open travel corridors to other countries, mainly European holiday destinations, and they should be finalised in the next week or so.

But letting people from the UK travel to Spain for instance with their numbers wouldn't make sense at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's the weekend but our figures for people passing in the whole of UK is 36 today, the figures have been consistently downward.

gerif Posted June 30, 2020 #49 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I was so jealous Saturday. Sent a birthday message to a friend who is currently living in Finland. She was on a cruise then ported in Latvia and looking forward to the grand buffet that evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
