paradiselivin1 Posted February 25, 2021 #26 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Makes sense to me. I am a huge trip planner and we road-tripped all summer 2020 while maintaining the quarantine requirements in all locales and still getting to spend 3 months on the road. Road trip around FL when we can and have plans to finally get on a flight in mid-May to get to Utah to road trip for another two months before heading back to upstate NY (home turf). We are both fully vaccinated; still wear masks & social distance. We should be on the 2021WC right now; booked for the 2022 and 2023WC's respectively. We want to cruise and will book when we know we can safely get out of here. Expect they will start with Caribbean cruises from FLL and I'm happy to get on board...

If they definitely cancel the New England and Canada cruises before us (they are still on hold) there would be no reason for the CB to be in New York. What I really miss is the planning. By now I would have my air and hotels booked and looking at the various things to do at the ports. If we are required to only do Princess excursions, that would certainly limit our choices. So we must wait...and wait...and wait. Just wondering where is the far distant port that allows you to cruise from NY to Fort Lauderdale. From my recollection the relocation cruise at the end of the season starts in Quebec City and end in Fort Lauderdale to avoid PVSA. No way to start in New York and end in Fort Lauderdale since that would violate PVSA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was Quebec City to Ft Lauderdale, and turned it more into a Southern Caribbean cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had to let go of planning in depth because for me, it’s a greater disappointment when it’s canceled. I look for fun occasionally to have ideas of what I’d want to do, and I’d apply an FCC if I felt hopeful, but that’s about it til cruises become more realistic. Now once they do, it’ll be full steam ahead on planning! Same here. I LOVE to research and plan excursions and such, it is part of the fun, and not just planning for myself. This past year has been so hard watching all the planning being cancelled. My in-laws were supposed to have gone on a land tour of Israel last year with friends of theirs and I had all these wonderful tours set up for them. I was a disappointed as they were when the trip was cancelled. As soon as I know my cruise in January is going to happen I will be planning the hell out of it.

gvre Posted February 26, 2021 #36 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Last year at this time they cancelled are B2B on the Diamond Princess for April. California instituted a shelter in place order on March 19, 2020. We figured by Easter this would all have blown over and things would be back to normal. Almost a year later we had 6 cruises cancelled with 3 on the horizon with the first in September 25th on the Island Princess out of Southampton. California daily cases have dropped 90% since the mid-January peak. I think the storm came out of nowhere and hit us hard but the sun is going to come out and warm us quicker than anyone expected. April is looking good. I am betting man and will bet we will be on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted February 26, 2021 #37 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I am hoping my Dec. 4 2021 Cruise on the Sky Princess sails. Have had 2 cruises cancelled so far and I am pretty confidant this one will sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cruise was always to have been from NYC to Ft. LAUDERDALE. It was originally suppose to be on the Sky but when they mandated that cruises be no longer than 7 days until Nov. 1st they had to change the transatlantic from Europe to Canada in September. so they are keeping the Sky there until Nov and doing the TA directly to Ft. LAUDERDALE. The NE and Canada cruises and ours were all changed to the CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to pre-covid the relocation cruise for the ship doing the NE cruises used to be from Quebec City to Ft Lauderdale (a few times from QC to Houston before they pulled out of that port). So was referring to Princess changing their past practice by making it a South Caribbean cruise now, not referring to this particular cruise.
