Go to Snorkel Beach in Bermuda, small and crowded

1. The Gift,

2. My Time dining first night

I completely agree. We´re just going to ride it out and see what happens, if it´s safe we will cruise, if not we won´t. But we are not going to stay home because we have to wear masks or wash our hands (we are already used to washy washy) it´s part of life now. We´re lucky we have our cruises booked for Nov, so we will have time to see what is going on, if we get canceled we´ll just rebook.  Watch out 2021, lord willing, we will be looking for sun and fun at CoCoc Cay.

Wearing a mask will be a personal choice, if it is mandated to be on the ship, then people will have to chose. I think it will be a small choice in the bigger picture. There will be new rules when ever we start cruising again, I guess following the new rules will be a choice people will have to make.

Again it´s back to wait and see, we had a b2b 10/30 and 11/7, the 10/30 was an 8 night so we changed it to start 11/7 and 11/14. We just keep our fingers crossed

Hopefully the other vaccines aren´t far behind. Wish they´d just start telling people upfront whats going on, quit sugar coating and tell us.

That´s hilarious. First ship we saw was the Liberty, it was impressive, then we saw the Anthem, Awesome

Head to NJ (Bahamian music in the car, visit with friends in Lyndhurst to Harolds for dinner. Breakfast at Goldberg´s bagels, Liberty State Park, see the Statue of Liberty and a glimpse of the ship. Finally on to Port Liberty. Always love it when you get your first sight of the ship driving up.

All we can do is sit back and speculate. We also have to have ports that will let us dock and disembark.  Looks like there are going to be some challenges with vaccine distributions and faith in it. I think RCG is just as anxious as all of us, they can´t take any chances. They have to get this right, rushing them isn´t going to help. We all want to cruise asap, we just have to be patient. 

Very easy to get around, even have ¨sand¨ wheel chairs with large tires. Shuttles are constant, very easy to find.

I think it differentiates it, great for marketing, ya won´t miss it, coming or going.

So funny, that was always thanksgiving at my dear, sadly departed Aunt’s house.  Start with appetizers around 11.  Full Italian dinner at 1, football, full turkey dinner at 6, more football, dessert around 7:30.  Roll yourself home around 10.  

Sounds just like my wifes grandmothers. Just had to pace yourself, slow and steady.

We were supposed to be eating dinner in the Solarium on the Anthem right now. We did the same on our last cruise. It was a great way to start the sail. Only 344 days till our b2b on the Anthem. 

Awesome, looks huge.

All good news, looking very good for the world.

No one knows. 

We can all post our own assertions and our own version of facts to support our own assertions and it's possible someone will post the right guess.  We'll know in February who was right and who was wrong.  Until then it's all guesses.

that is the perfect answer, No one knows. I think we will find out when we find out. I would assume Matt will be on it as he has all the other news he picks up. Thanx again Matt, and who ever he gets his info from.

Things might be more normal later in the year, but I don´t think you will see mask less cruises in 2021. The cruise lines will be under a microscope like no other industry. I would think they will be following their Healthy Sail Panels recommendations for quite a while. 

I agree 2021 cruises will be pandemic style, just to be on the safe side. Hopefully everything will go well. No one knows what will happen with the vaccines, hopefully again, there will be more than one vaccine that should make things go faster. All we can do is sit back and watch and speculate.

Just checked our 10/30/21, 8 night Anthem it´s still open. Should be pretty set by then I hope.

I would have to say no, I trust RCG, but I´d like to at least see what it will look like after they move some crew around. I don´t think theyĺl give ya the drink pkg, I think I read it´s not a vacation, lol

A year ago today we were in Nassau, it was a gorgeous day spent touring the rum cake factory, Atlantis, the Queens Staircase and straw market on to John Waitlings Distillery, (free tastes) We wound up at Senors Frog (Grouper strips, fish tacos) Then back on board. We were supposed to be leaving on the 29th on a repeat trip. Oh well, memories of cruises past and planning for our first B2B 10/30/21. 

All you can do is sit back and watch, agree, nobody knows. I don´t think RCG knows.

NCL just announced their cancellations. Perhaps RCL is next?

Think I have believe they will cancel till 1/21. They still will be working on getting us back on board ASAP 

Every day is a day closer to cruising again.

This is what I have been looking for, this is a real tangible positive step. This is actively rounding up crew members. If not a full crew at least they will be getting the ship ready to re man them. They seem to have moved the process along. I think it´s great news.
