Why not if I'm close to more people at work? Treatment options depend on where I cruise. Not necessary more or better options at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s a good thing that there are organizations in place that protect people who think like you from yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are ;you familiar with their work conditions or treatment options? If not, then your comment is just more blah, blah, blah ridiculing those with different opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison simply can't be made because no on knows the conditions or treatment options of cruises to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BoozinCroozin Posted January 17, 2021 #230 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think another factor of cruising starting, from a US perspective, is the Caribbean nations learning that they are not dependent on cruises. They will make more money from tourists at resorts. I think it was the tourist administer from Grand Caymans that made the reference and other island nations will be able to copy it. Not that cruising will end, but they will put pressure on the cruise industry as a whole because of covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted January 17, 2021 #231 Share Posted January 17, 2021 On topic —- still at least 270 days. There still is no start-up date, and I think it will take at least nine months once cruises do start for reasonable and acceptable conditions to emerge. If you stop to actually think - do you REALLY want to cruise wearing a mask all the time, keeping social distance, accepting limitations on port calls — all while paying a premium price to make up for the reduced capacity? Then, do you really want to be on a ship full of people who are so desperate to cruise that they would go under those conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getting older slowly Posted January 18, 2021 #234 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Cruising in US... I don't think so 370000 deaths so far and climbing at 3000 per day... Time to put a pin in it and check on it in at least a year... if not much longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the vaccine is distributed successfully, we might be back sooner. That being said, I used to think Fall was the start and now I am thinking early 2022. One interesting note is that RCCL is now going to home port a ship in Barbados sometime in the late fall. It could be that cruises start in Barbados before those in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
