It's Canada Matt...much different than the US. We are in lockdowns for a year now and i expect at least another 6 months of tight lock downs then at least another 6 mths or lighter restrictions. We can't visit family or friends, even if they are dying. I have to wear a mask in my car to get a coffee at the drive thru(as you can sit inside to eat or drink). Our vaccine roll-out is a disaster if you follow it at all. We change our rules and regulations around covid on a whim. They are talking about 21 day quarantines now which will include contacts of the contacts ...noone is going go to be coming or leaving Canada in 2021.

Yup..I posted on the other thread on Jan 21 that there would be no cruises in Canada in 2021......didn't take long to prove me right

Wasn't long ago i posted this...?

Noone is surprised right?....I certainly hope not....

I have been playing along with those points....another cpl years of no cruising but collecting these points and I should be ready to sail in style with all my points...?

Its only the first week in February and its looking like in all reality, 2021 will be a wash for the cruise industry as well. Time to start looking and thinking about 2022....and it wouldn't surprise me if by mid 2021 we start hearing about delays into winter 2022. In Canada at least...things are still the worst they have been.....1 year in and 2 mths of vaccinations and things are worse than ever.....not an optimistic sign at all.

Not so sure about that....thats based on how things were handled prior to Covid.....this had turned our norms upside down. I hope you are right..but so far that has not been the case. There has always been the next big threat or worry or problem to keep us locked down and scared....maybe in 5 years things will be back to norm, but I have yet to see ANY indication of that(at least in Canada)

What she said!!!!!!? Yup.....seems like there is more bad news than good news. I am getting more and more pessimistic as each day goes by..2021 is looking like a write off at this point...I am not even sure about 2022.....as I wont cruise with the "new norm".... It was ok and fun to dream and talk and look at clips etc during 2020...now a year later and even further from cruising imho...its jut depressing!

CDC based on the past 12 mths, isn't going to approve cruising anytime soon in the US..and when it does, it will be so limited and restrictive that it wont be enjoyable for the average person.... 2022 is now my prediction before cruising will sembalnce some kind of normalcy ....and that is just being one month into 2021...alot more could happen to delay it even further..

Or wear two masks or 3 and a shield..just to be really safe...although with the new variant out, who knows yet what will really work.? Anyone think cruising is coming back in 2021 for real??

Apparently new strains can happen anytime and often...so based on that, we will never be able to travel again if they are waiting for everyone to be vaccinated.....its a catch -22 and here in Canada..just announced our vaccines from Modenra are being cut next mth by 25%....seeing as less than 0.033% of the population is vaccinated from Covid-19....never mind any new strains on the way....it wont be short term pain...its going to a long drawn out, never ending fight at this point based on the past year.

NCL Sky.....although at this point I may consider it if it was an option!

I wont cruise with those rules......I wont get into the political side of all of this.....those who know me, know well how I think and feel about it.... But i wont travel anywhere under those rules and conditons...and I don't think many others will either to be honest. Cruise industry is sunk if those rules are in place. I think cruise lines are going to have a terrible time surviving if cruising as we knew it before was to come back the way it used to be, but defn wont with all these other conditions and restrictions and rules.....

Not sure about the replenish package details as I have only had the drink package but most ships have Red Bull....the question usually is which flavors and which bars you can get it at. It can be hit and miss.

Welcome back!.....haven't missed much...no cruises still!..... I am hoping I can leave my city sometime this year as we are severely locked down here and have been pretty much for close to a year now...... Cruising is a distant fading memory and hope at this point...you'll tend to see that my posts here have been quite realistic (or negative as some like to think ) about cruising starting soon.....lol

Looks like they are going to implement this for land crossings as well....even for "essential" workers...... We are defn going backwards towards lockdowns and restrictions.....things are NOT getting any better or more positive for anyone who likes to travel.....

They could have hired me to help prepare their budget...lol...I could have told them months ago there was no way in hell cruises would be happening in Jan......I have serious doubts about even one ship in July to be honest.... I really don't think that's the WORSE case senario.....no cruise ships till fall or winter is probably more likely and a BEST case scenario!

If that doesn't make you think cruising isn't coming back any time soon this year, then nothing will.

As i have been saying all along...nothing happening cruise wise for anyone in N.A till late 2021.....and for Canadians it may be 2022 before we can travel so for me it may be that cruising starts and I still cant go.

Well it isn't going to sail....so then the question is do you want/need 5 cancelled cruises/credits or just wait till things actually start back up..probably late 2021 or early 2022 at this point to be safe.

Royal's math and sales I am sure...lol

I hope so...although mine is a 5 day out of Tampa....i thought about only booking a 4 day or under at the time but the deal was too good on the 5 day...hope it doesn't come back to bite me!

Nice to see..as I really want to book another cruise but we wont while things are still way to much up in the air. I feel like by June we should have a much better idea how things are going vaccine wise and travel wise moving forward. We are wanting to book a cruise for 2022 winter......would get us to Diamond status with double points as long as our Nov cruise still goes ahead.....fingers crossed!

Cruising aint ever coming back if this is the new norm. Nor will they be able to do this to even start up imho. Not feasible. the logistics of this would be insane....maybe for a cruise to nowhere, but to have to worry about all these rules for every port you stop at or want to visit?(if that's what is implied in the above message) Vaccination passport yes perhaps(and no surprise)...but all these rules and regulations would further kill the cruise industry and travel industry

Wrong spot to put this and has nothing to do with this topic.
