I did and got all excited except it comes back Christmas Day. Probably won’t work. I’ll wait for the next year. I’ll make one someday!

My check in date was correct. I checked in roughly 7am and got the 1:00/1:30 (earliest available) check in.

We’re not moving any. We cruise in the spring and fall, outside of cough/cold season. I just read a commentary from a doc that has a podcast about why Florida cases are so high. His thoughts are that Florida is experiencing their “winter” right now. It’s so hot that people are indoors in the AC where the air is drier which allows virus particles to circulate. Makes sense to me and I expect our cases to go low again once the weather gets cooler. We were very low up until July 4 and usually around the end of July, all of august into early September we start to see our heat indexes into the 100’s. Anyhoo, we have this October, March, May and October 2022 booked and we’re going!

Dang it! I can’t leave my farm during hurricane season. I’m only 2 hours from PC too. Bummer ?

Now I know who’s on vacation! Lol. I’ll bug her when she gets back!

Do you have a refundable deposit? If so, the fare is higher. I always end up bugging @Sharla to price check and then she does and then reminds me I have a refundable deposit so no better price for me. I always forget that lol and always disappointed ?

Try the Walgreens in Green Cove. I live right across the river from Green Cove and went there to get my vaccine because my Walgreens up the street from me and the Julington Creek were booked solid. Green Cove Walgreens was wide open.

How soon after boarding did you try to make reservations?

Starts August 17. Mostly international but some select Alaska, repositioning, Bahamas, Bermuda, Caribbean, Europe. Most likely the same song and dance, but check those prices anyways!

Gotcha. We always walk off with ours. Early worm and all that.

So do we need a secret hangout to “migrate” to should this happen again? Anyone want to start a Facebook group? “RCBlog Junkies?” ?

I didn’t think I was addicted to this board. Yesterday proved I am.

We’ve had 3 booked for the next year forever. Booked the 4th spur the moment because double points extended and bingo zippy, we get a survey for that cruise. I made it clear the only reason we booked was for the double points that would take us to the next level.

I wonder when those that drove to the port get off. We’re driving to Miami and the day we get off is Georgia/Florida game. Was hoping to be home in time to watch the game! Lol It’s a 6 hour drive to North Florida. Go Dawgs! ? (normally we’d be at the game but this cruise is trumping football!)

To add: disembarkation is also taking longer due to Covid. It’s not the mass exodus right now that it used to be. In the past, everyone was generally off by 9:00. Now it can be as late as 11:00.

I would talk to the professor first. Maybe you’ll get a better idea of the timeline and feel more comfortable making the decision. As others have said, if you can afford to keep that money in FCC limbo, then I’d wait until 48 hours to cancel. With that being said, I’d absolutely have a replacement cruise already in mind and if you can afford to put down a refundable deposit, I’d slap a deposit down on the replacement cruise. If you end up sailing the original, cancel the replacement and get your deposit back. If you have to cancel the original, your backup is already booked and apply your FCC to final payment.

I’ve had good luck contacting them through their Facebook page through Facebook messenger. You could also try contacting through email the shore excursions department. They may not have the answer but hopefully you’ll get someone that will find out.

I would call blue lagoon directly and ask. We took the ferry from Atlantis. Back then they only offered dolphins.

Hmmmm we could easily do Brilliance and/or Vision. Hope they send out another “sweepstakes” email for the next batch.

If you’re on Facebook, join this group:

Well we’re hoping to get them “hooked” and become part of our cruise buddies! We’re all empty nesters. The husband’s one and only cruise was the Carnival out of Jacksonville so it won’t take much to impress him! ? That’s why I picked Symphony. Go big (and the best) or stay home!

So since my October Symphony is now a fully vaccinated cruise due to St Thomas, lots of cancellations and lots of Royal Up options. I was tempted BUT we are traveling with RC “virgins” and we currently have cabins next to each other. I’d feel bad if we abandoned them for an upgrade. So I’m not partaking. I’m saving up to bid BIG on my 12 night Holy Land/Best of Greece on Odyssey. (now I won’t get a Royal Up I’m sure!)

I’d wait. Make back up Christmas plans. The cruise lines are like underwear. They are changed everyday.

No no no. That wouldn’t be cool since I’m on her in the coveted corner aft JS in Alaska in May.
