Sooooo....you are saying that if you are sick with COVID, you should be wearing a mask??? EXACTLY!! This prevents YOU from spreading the virus!! I reiterate, WEAR A MASK PEOPLE!!!!!! You may be Asymptomatic which means you may not be showing any symptoms AND you might not even know it!! Protect your fellow cruisers any which way you can!!

I'm picky with what I order (don't eat meat or spicey things), but in general, I am not picky with quality (guess my standards aren't that high).  But I agree with this comment.  Chocolate molten lava cake should be warm and moist on the outside and then gooey thick "lava" in the inside...all a rich chocolate.  Chocolate molten lava cake is one of my favorite desserts...but I will say that the few times I've tried it, I agree.  It's dry and the inside isn't very liquidly.
Chops on the other hand does it perfect.

Not just the pool deck.  Outside watching the ship sail away from a port a mask is required.  Sitting on the promenade deck outside reading a book - wear a mask.   Visiting the helipad - wear a mask.  Unless you are in a pool or in your cabin, wear a mask.  They can't afford to have an outbreak or they'll be shutdown.  They are going to be excessively over cautious.  

Why would that change for cruises from the US? That's literally where they are needed the most 

?

This was addressed in the Healthy Sail Panel submission to the CDC.  Those aren't finalized as policy but likely something that will be a requirement at least initially.  
Some ships and itineraries work well for this and some don't.  As a cruiser you'll need to consider this possibility and decide if postponing your cruise is the right choice for your circumstances. 

Just had the same email, will be looking to change to a different itinerary as we don't fancy the Jewel.

Yeah, you reeeaaalllly don't want to run into your past self and give them any hint of what this year has been like.

Just one 'big' trip planned so far for 2021, our Copenhagen to Amsterdam cruise on Adventure.  I'll plan more local trips nearer the time travel restrictions permitting and try to rebook our cancelled trip to visit family in Florida..... fingers crossed....?

Visiting Chichen Itza on our Harmony cruise in February
Always been on my bucket list and despite a long traveling day , it was just incredible!

It was our 7th wedding anniversary and we decided to take the 2019 holiday cruise on Mariner since we never had a honeymoon. We had so much fun but one of our favorite things is the unlimited dining package! We are foodies so we tried every restaurant. We went to Izumi Hibachi twice because the food was soooo good! 

Later boarding times to allow for expanded cleaning.   More reliance on "touch-less" interfaces like WOW band becoming more prevalent. 

Hopefully the habit of washing hands and using hand sanitizer will become more common permanently.  

I keep thinking about my Sydney cruise.  Only Star Class had a special meeting point.  Suites/Pinnacle/Key all waited for their appointment time.  The only difference was that the process all started around 11am instead of 2:30pm.
Given the late start at 2:30pm I don't think there is time to grant special status to anyone, especially in the early days of a restart.  I'm fine with that, you won't hear me griping about my status and early appointment times.  The last thing they need are whiners during these crazy times.  Give me a time and get me on board ? 

I agree. In places like Copenhagen, Tallinn or Helsinki, taking an overpriced excursion might hurt the idea of an already expensive trip. 

Have you seen the great results MSC and others have had in Europe to resume cruises? That's fantastic news.

You can also sometimes find transit cruises within Europe.  I'm booked on Adventure of the Seas from Copenhagen to Amsterdam in August 2021 and there was one for this year between Copenhagen and Barcelona (presumably cancelled!). It's a great way to see a wider variety of places and you can add on additional city breaks before and after.

Something local to the region you're sailing! I still feel sad that there was no key lime pie when we stopped at Key West! Or meatballs when in Sweden....

I'd take a Baltic Sea cruise over a Med cruise any day. Bonus point: even Royal has longer itineraries there (up to 10 days). You could even do a Baltic Sea cruise and a Med cruise - or a Norwegian fjords cruise. Flights from Stockholm to Barcelona or Rome take about 3 hours and  flights in Europe are quite cheap if you don't need any bells and whistles.

Sold out???!!!..I have never heard of a drink package being sold out....7 months in advance.....that doesn't make sense....they upped the price which makes much more cents....lol
 
I would be booking NOTHING at this point..I am not giving any travel companies my $$ to sit on and then wait mths to get it back....
 
good luck!

I would wait. You have a long time still and airlines are constantly changing itineraries at the moment.  I would set up a fare alert for the route you're looking for. Sky scanner offers this on their website,  I think. It will send you an email when fares change for dates and route you are looking for.

Most of the desserts in the MDR! They always sound amazing but about 90% of the time I find them really disappointing. 
Chocolate molten cake arrived over baked and dry. Creme brulee wasn't set. The special RCL birthday cake looked pretty but was just a sugar bomb with no flavour... 

I cant believe they make me wear clothes to dinner. Where is my freedom.
