Poll time. Are you still planning to cruise?

[mackfam]

Booked on Brilliance leaving Jan 3rd. 
Still planning on going unless we test positive between now and then, or our flights get canceled 

[Presbycruiser67]

Going next week on Mariner.  The only thing that would stop my daughter and me is a positive Covid test.

[HBCcruiser]

100%! 😃🚢😃 We have been on 3 so far. Next one in February.

We’re booked for Jan 23. I am on day 8 of the curse….super, super mild. Hoping and praying I test negative when the time comes 🤞🏻

I thought you had to be 90 days out from a pistive Covid test  to be able to board.

14 days, but otherwise you test within two days of the cruise.

Way too much uncertainty and bending over backwards to meet ever-changing requirements at this point to travel with kids -- and we don't cruise without them. So we just cancelled and have no plans to reserver another one until there is more clarity and stability in protocols.

[ROYALBOY]

We are on Allure Feb 27…still a go 👍🏼

I wouldn’t mind be stuck on my next cruise we have a royal suite with huge balcony and private hot tub .

You know you'd be moved to the quarantine cabins on deck 3, right?

Unfortunately that’s not where you would be staying if you had covid.    They take you to a room away from guests.     I heard 3 deck by crew quarters

I have been on 5 cruises since the restart.  We cancelled our Star Class on jan 2.  If  we were in a normal suite or balcony we would be going, but in communication with the genie it was becoming obvious the experience would not be the same as before omnicrom.  Lots of we cant do that due to covid, or I am not sure if that will be possible. etc.  

 

For the amount that it was costing, the experience would not be there for our family to throughly enjoy the ship.

Ya beat me to it by 30 seconds.

We have been on 6 cruises this year and have 9 booked next year. Our next two cruises are in two weeks and in mid February. We have no plans to cancel any of them. Other than being at home, the safest place I have felt this year was being on a ship. It helps that it doesn’t take much to keep me happy at sea and my wife and I find cruising very relaxing.
 

However, I can completely understand why someone who cruises for all the various types of awesome entertainment available on a cruise would cancel a cruise in the near future, since there are countless reports from numerous ships concerning entertainment being drastically impacted on recent cruises. 

[Empehi]

I have an end of January cruise out of Miami and I feel it is to early to decide.  I have flights through Air2Sea so if COVID rages on I will pull the plug four or five days before departure and get a FCC.

I have a great price and would hate to lose the booking but Omicron is so contagious going through airports, a flights and then a cruise .... the possibility of catching COVID and then being quarantined would be to risky.

We cruise the 7th of Jan on Freedom.  As long as the cruise goes, and the flights go, and we don't test positive, we will go.  We are not cancelling.  There are 18 of us going for my sister's retirement.

I have been planning for the last few weeks for an end of January Birthday cruise for the wife but not now. Too much uncertainty. Not the cruise-line's fault but the reality of where we are in this pandemic.

I had planned to cruise as soon as the CDC released their stranglehold on the cruise industry (mandates/testing/nonsense gone) and wait three or four (up to six) cruise cycles after that and expected cruising to be "normal". Now I plan to probably catch covid on land in the next month or so, since schools will be the largest vectors of infection and this will spread like wild fire, recover, and then as soon as the mask mandates are lifted, book a cruise with the expectations that it won't really be the same until all formerly mentioned conditions are in place.

 

I'm good with being on the ocean and relaxing. I don't really watch shows because I don't like cattle cart herding and having to be anywhere at a certain time. I'd still have a good time even if everything wasn't 100%. So I guess "still contemplating" is my answer lol. If the masking, pre cruise testing, and arbitrary nonsense went away, I'd definitely be more inclined to book asap and if the mask mandate is still in place in March, I'll be canceling that and doing something else (probably an AI in Mexico or Puerto Rico or a driving trip to San Diego).

Yup, was really hoping to get a Christmas, New Years, or Jan birthday cruise in but these conditions aren't favorable. It sucks too because kids are all finally vaccinated and I had/have the time. Frustrating to be sure. I am very glad that I ended up getting passports for everyone though; I got them just in case something like this happened and it looks like it was fortuitous. I think AI's will be popular this winter/spring. Hopefully, things are looking up by summer for the cruise lines. 

[AshleyDillo]

 I actually can vote both. We canceled our January 2 sailing but we are going on the January 16 one. Would have sailed both but COVID made the decision for us 🙄

[ToroAzul]

Cancelled for refund yesterday. I am not scared of the virus, I was worried the cruise would not be enjoyable. 

[Retired LEO]

I've been on 26 cruises since the restart in June and currently have 34 more booked. I don't see what the problem is. 

[Maitaivegas]

So if you have to quarantine on the cruise and you have the UDP, would they bring you food from the speciality restaurants?

just asking for a friend.

[deliver42]

We have 3 cruises booked, and have no plans to cancel any of them.

Showoff.  😉 

[island lady]

Scheduled to board on Sunday, got an email just now to shove us off our original show up time...by two hours.  

 

OK..will wait two hours...still plan on going.  Cruise to nowhere?  PVSA rule is their problem. 

 

Me...just get me back on the ship again...everything else I can deal with. 😉
