While the lifeblood of any zoo is its visitors, the best time I ever had in my 16 years as a zookeeper when we were closed down for 6 weeks.  We always did things like this, and we also got so much done when we didn't have to worry about maintaining an opening/closing schedule. It was a magical time ?

This one is for @SpeedNoodles.

Looks like they were dressed up for formal night too.. 
 

You would think. Celebrity has several similar itineraries that are already being shown as having their ports changed to Nassau or Bermuda.

How about the following in lights:  "$500 in OBC" ?

Well preparations have started... as things continue to unfold with Covid-19 we will be self isolating while we are there!....... So we have been "shopping" in our pantries to determine what we need and planning activities..... Lots of games, I am sure the kids brains will be fully or partly pickled on their iPads, walks along the shore...2 metres apart of course.....
However most exciting we have planned a wine tour ? Please see attached photo for the route ?
 

I don't see how considering we are in the "during" COVID-19 phase ?
 

Does anyone else feel like life has been separated between "before" and "after" COVID-19?  ?

Well, no more $18 drink packages ???

You're welcome!  The desktop site seems to have more features than viewing it from a phone, like you can filter on the cruiselines.  Just a little tip if you didn't notice that yet. 

Hey Brobbins.  A big thank you for pointing out cruise mapper.  I have been using marine tracker for years, and I still will do so for certain things, but I really like cruise mapper too.

Cruisemapper.com is a good site for seeing where all the ships are for all cruise lines on an online map.

Perspective is the word of the day. My cruise was a luxury. A break from life and the daily grind. It's a bummer I have to reschedule, and have to cancel my PTO request.....but ......I have an awesome family, I have my health, and....now.....I get to pick out, and plan another cruise to replace the one we just lost!  So....as upset we are at losing a vacation, and the hassle of canceling hotels and excursions and such....just ask yourself......

Oh well, there goes my $18 mistake drink package.  I guess i'll never find out what it's like to have the unlimited drink package...

I live in MD, wife is a teacher. Spring break is now make up week. So no cruise for us that we had scheduled for a year. 

"Live cultures"

They’re probably secretly hoping that the insurance company forecloses and takes it away.
Just kidding ??

who are working especially hard during this Covidilemma - waiting on hold with the cruise companies (ALL of them!), rebooking, refunding, repricing, upgrading - WHATEVER.  I imagine they are all putting in LOTS of extra hours to help their clients.  (We're looking at you, M.E.I. folks, but also so many more of the great ones out there!).
We appreciate you!

Thank you to all of you for your kind words.  It seems in the TA world every year or two there is something that comes around such as this that shows people why they might not want to book direct - - the hold on the phone line or busy signal!  HAHA    While we are busy, it is you the client that we do this for because we love it.  Because many of us at MEI have been doing this for so long, we have lots of experience at holding on the phone, placing holds for new bookings online, chatting with another agent in the agency to either vent (so we don't toss the computer or phone out the window) , and we can order a pizza for dinner because we assume we will be on the phone til after dinner!  ???
