snorkle lover Posted April 14, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Just out of curiosity I was looking at the Regent web site and saw that all the cruises for August have just about all categories available. Anyone thinking what I am thinking?? Maybe another month going to be canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted April 14, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Whenever they do what they are going to do, remember what Mr. Del Rio said. They will bring the ships back 1 at a time.....It will probably be 6 months from when the first ship sails to when the last ship is sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkle lover Posted April 14, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Pcardad, Thanks for the optimistic outlook. Still holding my breath for our late September Splendor cruise. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One a month means the last ship will start FOUR months after the first one (e.g., 1 Aug, 1 Sep, 1 Oct, 1 Nov, and 1 Dec). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has also said every 4 to 6 weeks.....depending on which interview you watch. There is no way this is coming back on line the way anyone expects.

So you're saying that FdR talks out of both sides of his mouth; I rest my case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted April 14, 2021 #7 Share Posted April 14, 2021 But did I say that? There is news coming that should answer a lot of questions. Lots of whispers in the wind these days. I am just as anxious/excited as you are to find out what the plans are...I get my 2nd shot in a few days and I am ready to go! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 2012_Alaska_bound Posted April 15, 2021 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Already 2 weeks past my second shot, and still holding a slim hope for August 20th on the Splendor! Have not canceled my Copenhagen hotel reservation yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going with the opinion that since August cruises have not been "waitlisted" except for Alaska cruises, it looks like ships will begin to sail in August. I have no inside information, it's just an opinion. This "waitlisted" thing has gone on for too long IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted April 15, 2021 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think a minimum 60 days after NCL.....to get back to 100% and lessor restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big IF though....but I have been posting for months that NCL will go first to test the waters and Regent will go when then feel it is safe enough to resume "normal" sailing.

Last week you predicted Splendor will sail from Athens, this week from London; about time for Jason to make an announcement with fact instead of conjecture by us.

Pcardad Posted April 15, 2021 #16 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) But it is so much fun...and we are both so good at it! 😃 And the last time I looked, it was possible for a ship to sail from Greece one month and the UK another month. And to assist you a little in putting words in my mouth....I guessed it was possible for Splendor to be first and to sail from Greece in August. I am also guessing a Splendor sailing, as mentioned above, is possible, even likely........but EVERYTHING rests on NCL sailing first.

labonnevie Posted April 15, 2021 #17 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Pcardad, what do you think the chances are for Voyager to restart with the 10 day Athens to Athens cruise on September 13th? That cruise is shorter than the 15 day Barcelona to Athens cruise before that. The next cruise is September 23rd, 10 days also, Athens to Rome. Seems like good "trail" cruises. At some point they have to restart and it would seem best to start with these shorter cruises. Eventually, Regent has to get the Voyager through the Suez Canal to do the rest of their winter schedule, so why not do that with the October 3rd Rome to Abu Dhabi cruise (which we are on)? Your thoughts please/thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladys Mom Posted April 15, 2021 #18 Share Posted April 15, 2021 You guys just have too much time on your hands. NCL again sent a letter to the CDC pushing them to give a response to their request to sail starting July 4th. Regent will start when it starts but if there is no "waitlisted" notes to August sailings, I venture to guess Regent may get on the high seas by then.

If Regent were to take Splendor to Greece in August, hopefully they will notify those of us on the current Splendor itineraries in August soon..... Big difference between sailing a Baltic itinerary and a Greek one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellaggio Cruisers Posted April 16, 2021 #22 Share Posted April 16, 2021 We surrendered this week and booked the Crystal Bahamas cruise at the end of July. T’is a pity. We will fly the one hour flight from Miami, be in a crowded airport, sit like sardines aboard a plane. And fly back one week later. I wish the CDC and Dr. Fauci could explain how this is better. And, who are they to say we can’t resume living? Crystal requires vaccines for passengers and crew. Time to be sensible and sail out of the US! sheila 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been our preference. But at this late date it is difficult to cancel the Crystal. Maybe another time. We just wanted to cruise again. Now if Regent decides to set sail in August, that may be another story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted April 20, 2021 #25 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) All August and September cruises are now waitlisted; maybe Regent is ready to announce their reopening plan. Edited April 20, 2021 by mrlevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
