I am not a fan of the cruise sponsored excursions only, which is supposed to be temporary. I do understand the point of it from a safety aspect, but it also destroys the destination for those that just want to visit a new area and don't want to pay for an excursion just to get off the boat in the destination that they already paid to travel to.. Just my opinion, I realize there is not an easy option for any of the cruise lines to offer, so I get it. Everyone has to make sacrifices if we want to return to cruising.
I'm in the process of utilizing Lift and Shift on my cruise since it was supposed to be for December - since the excursion I do in Cozumel isn't through Royal Caribbean. I don't have an issue waiting another year and seeing how the return to cruising goes before going myself.
