Well only a bot would know how to do that !  I have cruised umpteen dozen times and I never knew you could book all of your MTD at once.  Of course, I don't claim to be all that bright, either.  Thanks @twangster

This would be wonderful as my husband and I have one scheduled in November. Hopefully by then we'll be cruising or have some test sailings ?

I think we can all agree we all hope that cruising will be a lot closer to normal in 2022 and even better in 2023 but... no one knows.
I'm booking interiors in 2021 because I think public health agencies learned that keeping everyone on a ship while they do nothing and scratch their heads was a really terrible idea on their part.  The inaction of the public health agencies led to the spread that occurred and they know that now.  Hindsight is 20-20.  Consequently I don't think we'll see that sort of failed response on the part of public health agencies in the future.

I think it's way too early for it to show up for fall of 2022.  Keep checking, but I doubt it'll be available before fall of 2021.

Yes, that’s where it is.  Be aware, you can only book 1 night at a time, then go back in for each subsequent night.  It’s kind of a pain!

I have no idea what you're talking about...

As long as you make refundable deposits I see no down side other than tying up your money.  I think it's a very sound strategy as long as you can get your money back quickly.

Haha the thing to know with my dad is he always uses vague language. Like “it’s okay” and “not bad”, but never “great” or “fantastic”. But it did seem like he enjoyed himself so I take it he liked it. 

Just another form of gov't messaging to dissuade travelers and twist arms of small Caribbean islands

You can always trust that your government has your best interest in mind! 

As a frequent solo cruiser I am seeing an opportunity right now to book cruises at reduced rates for solo cruisers but the window is closing.  As the restart approaches more and more guests are beginning to see the light and they are starting once again to book cruises.  
 When the restart is announced, even if it starts with just one ship, the floodgates will open and all those hesitant would be cruisers are going to start booking cruises in mass.  At that point the hidden reduced single supplement fares will be eliminated or those few remaining will be consumed quickly.
Right now is a great time for solo cruisers to book but it takes time and effort to find the solo deals.

Right now bookings are at risk due to the pandemic.  My travel agent shared with me that there are reduced single supplement fares to be had but there are capacity controls so the entire ship doesn't book up with just solo cruisers.  
Once the few reduced single fares are gobbled up on that ship and sail date they are gone but it's specific to a sail date.  The next cruise on the same ship might still have them.
Right now there are cruises available with 1x, 1.25x and 1.5x single supplements if you look for them.  I've been busy booking them and so have many other solo cruisers.  Sometimes you watch it disappear right before your eyes so you know another solo cruiser beat you to it.  
If you have flexibility with dates and itinerary or cabin type there are ways to cruise solo without a fake guest and save money. 

What cruise lines often have but don't advertise openly are hidden single supplement reduced fares.  They would rather have every cabin at double occupancy, that is their best case scenario.  When bookings are soft they can sometimes slip in some reduced single supplement fares.  The trick is finding these hidden gems.  A good travel agent helps immensely but you can also come across them yourself from time to time by luck or by pricing a lot of different cruises.  Often they only reduce the single supplement for interior or oceanview cabins but occasionally balconies and suites can be reduced as well.
When Cuba was closed to cruises with zero notice suddenly there were two ships sailing with modified itineraries nearly empty.  They responded with promos to entice booked cruisers not to cancel but many did.    Then they removed the single supplement entirely and boy did I cruise a lot with no single supplement.

I'm optimistic that conditions are now right to get the test cruises started. I'm not optimistic the CDC agrees.

Booked on this too for honeymoon... cannot wait! Only 527 days to go...

As long as it not Viagra ?..and the flight doesn't last more than 4 hours,  you should be ok.  But then again,  your there to take care of any issues that come up.?

We're on Allure this December.  So make sure you don't break anything before we get on.?  This will be our first Jr suite.  
In December Allure will be sailing out of Port Everglades.  

That comes into play also. It depends on whether I'm scuba diving or doing more laid back things so it is route dependent for me.

To be clear, I don't double book due to uncertainty related to the pandemic.  I often double book due to "ICan'tMakeUpMyMind-itis".
I often see two very compelling cruises and I can't decide which one to take so I book both while I think about it.

Okay Matt (who likes to blame starting live blogs way early on someone else)

@WAAAYTOOOstarted all this star class nonsense way back when ?

I have to tell ya'....that little filet looks pretty darn good !

I wish there was a way to track your EXACT cabin category somewhere.  I have had the same experience as Sabrina where you must track the prices of JS in hopes that the higher priced categories follow the trend.  ....but alas, nobody, that I have found, anyway, tracks the exact cabin categories....just the lowest category in a cabin class.  ☹️
