Well, this would certainly not be good for Americans trying to catch a European sailing ?

Iceland will let Americans in IF they pass the rapid COVID-19 test that they give (at traveler's charge) at the airport.

So in other words... we're dealing with Schrödinger's Cruise? ?

I decided to buy it. We have the funds to cancel and re-book, so we figured even if our refund takes a little extra times it's worth it. Our last cruise we waited too long to book and missed out on some really good sales. We try to wait until there is a price we feel is fair and then hope for better one ?

Not surprising in the least. Only good thing I read there is that the list will be re-evaluated every two weeks to deal with the ebb and flow of the virus. So if the US can manage to get its "stuff" together and deal with this properly, we'll eventually be added on to that list.

Completely understandable.  Probably very smart on their part.  
I expect the Caribbean to do the same.  Why would any small nation want thousands of Americans and the virus infiltrating their country?

Fauci (aware some of you dont like him....) seems to think its when, not if, and it may be here by end of year or early in 21......I sail in March, and since my wife is an RN and will HAVE to get it, I will get it too (if she turns into a zombie, I need to be a zombie too)....so Im hopeful its ready EARLY '21.
LETS SAIL!

We stay at the Kimpton Epic in Miami. It's right next to the Intercontinental, beautiful, and far less pricey.

They  have sales every couple of weeks.  It should say on the Cruise Planner or promo email how long the sale lasts.  $53/day isn't a bad price for Symphony.  I'd jump on it and you can always cancel and rebook if the price goes down even further.

The magic 8 ball has broken and is no longer functioning...............thanks 2020.  Pick a random yes or a random no to answer your question about the Alaska 2021 season.  Both answers are correct, potentially.  (Of course, no one knows what is going to actually happen.....)

There's no saying they'll return to service on Sept 15th, either.

Anyone who lives/works in a city. Anyone who has family/friends who work in healthcare or is in law enforcement.  I happen to know a bunch of people personally who got it. Everyone around me knows people who got it/died from it. All through April and May there were stories of people losing family members from it...but I acknowledge it's different than someone who doesn't live close to a city.
 

Bummer that they have included Bermuda cruises.  I JUST booked October 10 on Grandeur.

It doesn't tell me how long the sale is but I agree that I should jump on that price. Like you said I can always cancel if I find a better price!

Yeah, I was denied a L&S off of an 8-night cruise next January as well.   Oh well, it is what it is.

"The three-ship fleet includes the Monarch, Sovereign and Horizon, and is part of a joint venture with Royal Caribbean Cruises."
