I actually wish those itineraries were available from US ports. I guess we'll see. Travelers are going to get frustrated and stick with land packages if cruise lines begin canceling because of low occupancy. I 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are starting the process to allow crew from India tomorrow. It's lengthy. Per Michael Bayley: "We are re starting crewing from India on May 21st. There will be enhanced protocols to ensure safety. PCR test, 14 day quarantine, PCR test, Charter flight, PCR test, Vaccine, Quarantine and PCR test. Hopefully these enhanced protocols will only be in place for a short time as we all become vaccinated. Other countries where the pandemic is surging will have same protocols. FYI. Crew contracts will be lengthened during this period by 2 months. All details will be presented to each crewmember before the journey begins. Onwards and upwards team !"

I wouldn't mind days at sea and just the private island. What is interesting is DCL sells a lot of cruises with a stop at Castaway Cay and Nassau where majority of the ship doesn't get off, and there is a sizeable number of B2B passengers. And the double dip Castaway Cay cruises often sell for a premium. Given this cruise was Bermuda, a few days at sea and CocoCay, it sounds like a nice cruise. I just wish is sailed from Baltimore or Norfolk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightOne Posted May 20, 2021 #67 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) I think the hard part for some people to swallow on Vision cancellation is that they were kind of told "Finally you can cruise. You can safely book this one without worrying about it being cancelled because of Covid." and then Royal cancels it because of low sales volume. That hurts.

long4acruise Posted May 20, 2021 #68 Share Posted May 20, 2021 1 hour ago, Another_Critic said: Now that the Bermuda cruises are cancelled (and Vision is crewed up to sail??), they should move Vision to Baltimore until Enchantment is ready to sail. 🙂 A good idea and then they can sail to Bermuda. Reasonable flights to Baltimore with three area airports can usually be found, especially on Southwest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted May 20, 2021 #69 Share Posted May 20, 2021 50 minutes ago, livingonthebeach said: If they cancelled just because of low bookings, then I agree it isn’t a very wise move on their part. There could have been other factors as well but I guess we’ll never know. For sure, when there are flights and hotels involved, it complicates the matter substantially for those who had their vacations cancelled. Not good for RCI’s image. Usually have my Travel Plans, Hotel/Air, all done 6-12 months before a Cruise. Have Multiple Cruises every 4 months w/o my usually travel Booked. Fly about dozen times year and up til recently Airline had free change/Cancel/FCC but as things are getting back normal and Full Flights, that benefit ended. When Cruising starts hope not caught with my pants down, $$$, scheduling at last minute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted May 20, 2021 #70 Share Posted May 20, 2021 They canceled a season in Dubai for low interest. To make a profit you need a certain percent. If they have no hope for getting it, and it's not even close.....than I see why. People around me that cruise have been waiting to see what happens in Bahamas.....but no one had a slightest interest in Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted May 20, 2021 #71 Share Posted May 20, 2021 3 hours ago, 100viper said: Makes sense. Flights for Bermuda seem like a lot more planning than a flight to Nassau. The flights to Bermuda were very cheap too. I was booked with A2S for $149 pp RT with American airlines and the exact same flight was $770 if I had booked direct with AA. So I guess they were subdizing a large amount of money for these flights to be this cheap. Probably part of their decision to cancel. It's a very easy flight to Bermuda for us. Flight out of PHL is just over 2 hrs - non stop. The fact they are not giving a lift and shift option is annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a Celebrity call this week they did not hold back at all in saying that if they can't 'get to' the 40-60% range on some of their cruises they would open it up to TA's. I have a feeling none of these cruises, Caribbean or US, are booked as strongly as they hoped. Although it would be much easier for American's to book a last minute cruise from Florida in July or August. We could get r/t tickets for less than $200/pp. Not a bad deal if your alternative plans would include renting a car somewhere which is insanely expensive right now.

Bermuda is the destination for me. I can't wait until they start the regular Bermuda itineraries on Celebrity. as a Long Islander,I wan't two things.#1 open Bayonne and bring back Celebrity and Royal. and #2,bring back 7nt. 3 day stay at Bermuda, with a price that's more attractive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
