agreed, since we have to fly in and adding a hotel stay, its too impractical  for us for a short cruise. The airfare if higher than the cruise. The restrictions and reservations for pool time, etc. This isn't our cup of tea

Cruising is expensive, I simply cannot justify the expense with any restrictions. We will not cruise again until there are no restrictions and that may be a long time if ever... as much as it pains me to say that. 
 

Agreed number of cases is a poor stat to focus on, Florida has lots of cases but the majority are young, healthy and basically don't even notice they had it. Keeping the hospitals available for those that need to be taken care of is the key.

What's the one thing you would change about the cabins on RC?
Mine would be bigger showers.

We just payed for our March 27th on Harmony and wish they would make a decision to go / cancel. If its cancelled we have plans all set to go to Cancun to an All-inclusive w/ the kids. Just would like to get it booked earlier rather than later due to airfares.

And this is VERY common in retail - % off the suggested retail price - lowest price of the season.  If you are basing your purchases on wording, you are just the customer they’re looking for!!  Years ago in CT, Filene’s had the state Dept of Consumer Protection all over them because their linens were always on a percentage sale.  Deceptive advertising because the linens were never sold at FULL price.  So we learned never to buy towels on Monday or Tuesday when they were full price!
As others have pointed out, watch PRICE not SALES.

I think they threw in the towel on the mock cruises and protocols, going with vaccine or bust.
Tiptoeing up to the no politics line here but pretty sure that the whole thing was only moving forward due to political pressure at the time that is no longer being applied.

Deliberate ambiguity allows for control.

At the same total cost, I would opt for two cruises. Consider back-to-back on the same ship, especially if the two weeks have different itineraries. It's a great way to do everything on the ship without cramming it all in and missing out on the opportunities to relax.

Except for their attorney.

Keeping things shut down is a huge financial impact to FL and other places depending upon tourism trade.
 

Really surprised this got rescheduled so fast. Awesome.

Sail away on Symphony of the Seas from Miami, just realizing that I won't have contact with work for 7 wonderful nights and nothing to worry about, since I can't do anything about it. I refuse to access / pay for the internet service, just to decompress for a few days.

We should be boarding her tomorrow for seven nights.  ?

I'm not blaming the family at all, but what would lead them to this belief?  Did they think they were sailing on Mayo Clinic of the Seas?  "“We were always under the impression that the medical facilities and staff on a ship were world class and world leading."

Royal is going to have to come up with some sort of plan here or a lot of people won't be cruising, not for the lack of not wanting too but not being able to get tested.

That story is pure clickbait. "The Carnival Cruise Ship That Spread Coronavirus Around the World"
Give me a break. Let's conveniently forget that the virus spread across the world on airplanes, which were never stopped at all and given a free pass for being the primary means of transmission from one country or continent to another.
