Sunshine3601 Posted March 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2021 That's great to hear. I'm sure we will be hearing announcements soon on european sailings this summer. I'm just not sure they will allow US residents to board but maybe since vaccinations will make the difference. I'm booked for a baltic sailing on jewel in august and just no sure it will happen.

Jimbo Posted March 22, 2021 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Lets hope they allow US Residents to lift and shift to 2022 if they so choose, even if they do allow US residents. Not comfortable going over seas or just how much ports on itinerary are affected, not getting the real European cruise like we signed up for.

RFerrington Posted March 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I doubt seriously that they would be accepting US residents. Maybe though.... I am booked for Harmony in June 6. I still don't think that one will sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandebeach Posted March 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Just saw Marc’s post and I wish him well on Harmony. So Europe may be a go this summer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted March 22, 2021 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Harmony was scheduled for western med cruises out of barcelona this summer. Spain seems to have covid under control, italy seems to be having another spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted March 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I really hope Harmony will sail and that I will be able to get the vaccine in time to sail as booked at the end of September. We booked for the ship (actually for Allure originally but Harmony will do instead) rather than the ports, so a modified itinerary wouldn't be a deal breaker for us. However, I can totally understand folks not wanting to come all the way over from the States and not get the Europe experience they were looking for. In those circumstances, I think I would want to postpone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee Eight Posted March 22, 2021 #10 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Good news from Marc. Been a very tough year on Cruise Crew. He has busted his butt to support his family. I’m impressed by his work ethic. Wish more here had his work drive. We would be a better place. M8 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm friends with him on another social site and I posted today that he should consider writing a book about his experiences this past year. His positive attitude, unbreakable spirit and will do determination to work any job that would feed his family should be a lesson to us all. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted March 22, 2021 #12 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I saw his post and since he had a UK Post Box in the picture and he said he will see his Mum I am guessing that Harmony is heading to Southampton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically use bump to indicate moving forward to say Oct 30, and push to move it back to say November 1 Just semantics Bump it up a day Push it back a day 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgmn Posted March 23, 2021 #19 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) 17 hours ago, Heymarco said: Just read the post. Sounds like it will be going to England. 😳 The talk in the media here is that the international travel date opening up for UK being pushed back till the end of June or July. The worry is of a third wave from Europe undoing all the hard work getting our rates down this last few months. If there are cruises from the UK I think they will just be domestic, at least until late Summer Edited March 23, 2021 by sgmn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
