Hi everyone, 
   Winter in Illinois with no hope of cruising soon and waiting to get a vaccine so I can go to Disney was MAJORLY getting me down!  It was time to come back home lol.  I have missed thinking about cruising and we have begun to consider a New Year’s Eve cruise with the kids, since spring break is impossible for the next few years (husband and I both teach, and our spring breaks are off until my district shifts again).  Anyway, just wanted to say hi again and I hope everyone is well and planning for cruising with a vengeance (and a prayer that things open up soon)!  Jane

We have had a pretty mild winter until the last couple weeks and it still is bad...so so done!  Jane

I will cross my fingers for you! I totally feel your wife’s need for sun and warm.  Please tell her thank you for her service!  My husband and I are in the current group to get vaccinated (educators) but the roll out is very slow...hoping it speeds up..and my husband has some health issues.  If I get vaccinated, we have agreed I will take my almost 18 year old to Disney for spring break.  She’s had a miserable senior year and this was the plan before all our lives changed.  We will chance it, be as safe as possible and quarantine her when we get back.  However, if I don’t get my first shot in the next 3 weeks, then we scrap it and go in June.  Maybe we can do an Airbnb on Lake Michigan low key for a few days.  Our last cruise was an amazing 12 day med/Greek isles  summer 2019 and we cancelled our 2020 cruise so I’m anxious to try...looking like Christmas 2022 might be the time though I’d love to try 2021.  I just don’t think I could take another cancelation!  Jane

Spent a day at Magic Kingdom mid-week last week, and I agree - Disney is very good with doing all they can to keep people safe.  Airports, on the other hand... Ugh...

I've never had a ship that I wouldn't sail on again. I do have an itinerary that I wouldn't sail on just based on the time of year went.
(Southeast Coast/Bahamas out of Baltimore in January, Cold and rough seas)
Right now, though, I'd take ANY ship with ANY itinerary. It's been one full year since we've cruised and were supposed to be on our way to Miami TODAY for a 9-Night Southern Caribbean. 🙁

Worst feeling in the world. I remember being in a virtual department meeting this past September thinking... I'm supposed to be on CoCo Cay right now. FORK ME! lol.

No.  From Empress to Anthem, we've liked each ship so far.   They all offer something different and unique.
Since I am sitting home instead of sailing on our 11 night cruise that was originally scheduled for RIGHT NOW, I will double down on my first statement.

I'm glad you're back.  I have missed hearing from you and your lovely family.  

Welcome back!

Welcome back, Jane.  We've missed hearing from you !

Welcome back!.....haven't missed much...no cruises still!.....
 
I am hoping I can leave my city sometime this year as we are severely locked down here and have been pretty much for close to a year now......
 
Cruising is a distant fading memory and hope at this point...you'll tend to see that my posts here have been quite realistic (or negative as some like to think ) about cruising starting soon.....lol

Welcome back Jane! 🙂

I don’t think there is one I’d say never again to, but after my last 2 cruises on very small ships, I’m ready to sail again on a bigger ship.  I haven’t been on any amped ships so would like to see some of the new areas and restaurants.  Jane
