When (if) cruising returns to normal where would you go first?

[Grego]

We have too much fun looking and planning for each voyage when we do it together.  When we find it, the first thing we do is call our PVP and book it.

Where would I go first?

 

See below........I am still  hopeful. 🤔

 

Just booked a pre-cruise hotel for Port Everglades before our December 2021 cruise. Price on that hotel was about $25 less than it was our last cruise from Port Everglades in November 2019. If cruising starts up again in the next several months I bet the hotel prices rise!

 

I can always cancel the hotel for a refund if needed....along with cancelling the cruise itself and EZ-Air. That would be very disappointing, but I want to see some statistics on successful cruises from the USA before I make my final payment. Wish me luck.😎

we've enjoyed staying at the Hilton Inn Marina - directly looking at the Port and Pier 2 

 

the first time only stayed the night before - the next time - "Let's stay 2 nights" - we stayed 2 nights before a little 4 day cruise - took the water taxi tour, which has a landing right at the hotel

Guess I'm not very imaginative......   Where I would first is the closest embarkation Port on the first cruise I could book.

We like to travel on our own and then cruise to travel back home or to relax before going back home. We have 3 cruises booked that would fit the bill for us: a November 2021 TA; an April 2022 Trans Pacific out of Sydney; and a Baltic cruise in September 2022.

 

We have EZair flexible tickets booked for the November TA (not sure this one will go ahead given current state of pandemic).  We are hoping to go in early October and spend a month in Europe before cruising back to North America. 

 

For the Trans Pacific we have booked business class tickets to Australia using our Aeroplan points (fully refundable of course). We would fly in mid March to spend a few weeks in Australia before the cruise. We are thinking of booking a March 2023 similar cruise out of Sydney as a back-up just in case...

 

We have not yet made plans around the September 2022 Baltic cruise but I am hopeful that this one will sail.

...

In 2018 Hilton announced this hotel was sold which I discovered trying to make reservations. Now I'm not so sure the sale is going through as here in 2021 I can still book it.

 

Oh yeah, we're planning to head to South America and Antarctica when cruising returns!
