Literally just danced around the house with my wife.

Also...the CDC just VOLUNTARILY gave up power? There's gotta be more to the story. But I will be in my mental Viking Crown Lounge celebrating!

I too was booked on Majesty for March 2020. 😢😢

Thank you all for your help! I believe Majesty is the one that is gone now, I had cruises booked on both during the pandemic. I haven't followed cruising as closely, now that I am excluded, cruising has gone from a source of great joy and anticipation to something that's kind of depressing to think/read about. So I mixed up my ships!

Also, even aside from the heaviness of the water, if you have a lazy river that goes from say, the port side to the starboard side, and the ship tilts a tiny bit, all the water will rush to one side of the river and the flow of the river will be ruined. Ever seen the videos of cruise ship pools in a storm? Imagine a storm with a lazy river. Dangerous amounts of water coming out of the river. I love a good lazy river, but it will never happen on a cruise ship unless they can fit it into the footprint of a typical cruise ship swimming pool.

Got an email from the corporate office saying that they are issuing a refund and confirming the credit card, since it was originally booked in 2020 (on Grandeur OTS, RIP).

Well, that was quite effective. Great idea, thanks!

Have you emailed [email protected]?  Move it up the chain.

Hopefully pre-covid tests are next!🤞

Followed by the vax mandate !

Yes, I have "loose" FCCs right now. I have recently freed them from their associated reservations, and they are all three FCCs because I was refused a cash refund when protocols were announced for past cruises. I would feel silly booking a cruise I know I wouldn't be going on just to wait for protocols to be announced to cancel in the hope that I could get a cash refund, even though I haven't been able to before.

Based on the last 18+ months ... nope.
Pretty clearly demonstrated to my satisfaction that the cruise protocols in particular are pure theater driven by fear of an overreaching government agency.
Witness my first cruise in July with fewer protocols in place and statements being made by crew on board that they were prepping to reduce the protocols further in the near future and instead going the other way just to keep the CDC "happy".

Logic really hasn't had a lot to do with any CDC action so this would seem perfectly reasonable.
I'm just hoping they don't ask to demonstrate how to flood the ship in an emergency in order to "wash away covid".

Yes, Covid logic. Photos stop the Covids from spreading. 
More Mask theater and why masking on cruise ships needs to end. 

I have this on two cards...which is an amazing deal, but I'm not cruising right now. Bummer, wish I could take advantage.

My cruise on 2/4 has a final payment date of 10/27. So however many days that is. 😄 

The CDC doesn't listen to cruise lines.  I think that's been well established.
The federal government does pay for testing.  The problem is availability.  
The CDC is doing the change to 2 day to make it less convenient to cruise.  They are not doing this based on science or data.  The last thing the CDC is going to do is pay for it or make it convenient.
