The Greece cruises departing from Cyprus look very attractive, but getting to Cyprus from the US doesn't seem all that easy. Has anyone from the states booked this cruise? How are you getting to Cyprus?

Thanks.

Thanks Kathy,

I didn't see an option for a refundable deposit on Celebrity's website. Was your deposit refundable?

Never mind. The booking page works if I don't include my Captain's Club number.

Turns out it was too rich for me, but it was fun dreaming.

I just noticed three 7-day cruises from NJ to Newport & Bermuda on Celebrity's website! I tried to book (on 3 different browsers), but I can't get past choosing a cabin.

Has anyone been able to book one of these?

Thanks.

Hello all.

I am departing on a Baltic cruise out of Copenhagen on Voyager OTS on May 22, 2022. Does anyone know how I can find out which cruise terminal we'll be leaving from?

Thanks.

I'm thinking of booking Radiance for an 11-night NZ cruise, departing Sydney on April 3, 2023.

I have two questions:

1. If anyone has sailed Radiance to NZ before, I'd appreciate any comments/insights.

2. Are Australia & New Zealand schools back in session in early April (meaning fewer children on board)?

Thanks.

Just booked an NCL Greece cruise from Athens, Oct. 10-17, 2021.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Does anyone know when we can expect Celebrity's Oct. 2023 cruise to Australia and New Zealand to open up? Thanks.

Well there goes the September Med cruise I booked.

Maybe not, because there are still others, just not the one I chose.

Lots of shuffling going on.

I had a Greece cruise on hold with NCL for October. I tried to pay the deposit this morning, but it's no longer available. I also had an NCL Bermuda cruise from New York bookmarked, and that too is no longer available.

It sure feels like 2021 is going to be another "lost" year for cruising.

From Royal Caribbean's website:

If a certain threshold level of COVID-19 is detected onboard the ship during your voyage, the voyage will end immediately, the ship will return to the port of embarkation, and your subsequent travel, including your return home, may be restricted or delayed.

A vaccine mandate is a good thing. It significantly reduces the likelihood of an outbreak.

• 10/15/21 - 7-day Spain & France on Sky Princess from Southampton (not optimistic about this happening)
• 1/23/22 - 7-day Southern Caribbean on Explorer of the Seas from San Juan
• 5/8/22 - 7-day Scandinavia & Russia on Voyager of the Seas from Copenhagen
• 10/7/22 - 10-day Italy, Turkey & Greece on Jewel of the Seas from Tarragona, Spain (ending in Athens)

Yes I would wear a mask if I had to. My wife and I are both fully vaccinated, and are enjoying being maskless around other vaccinated people (allowed by the CDC). I'm a little confused as to why masks are required if everyone has a vaccine. Perhaps it's because the under-16s are not.

The big issue for me is not being allowed off the ship on our own. That's a deal-breaker for me. Excursions are fun, but I don't want to be required to go on one. That said, we currently have five cruises booked, the earliest is this fall. God willing, we'll actually be able to go.

If you call Royal @ 866-562-7625 and follow the prompts to the automated system, it can send you a confirmation via e-mail.

Thanks all. I'll plan on staying overnight and taking the 11 am nonstop the next day...that is, IF I actually go at all.

Good morning all. I am booked on a Southern Caribbean cruise out of San Juan, PR on Jan. 23-30, 2022. The itinerary indicates a return to San Juan at 6 a.m. on Jan. 30.

In your opinion, if I have an 11 a.m. flight home, is that feasible?  [My only other non-stop option is 9 p.m.]

Thanks.

I haven't noticed that the website changed, it's just as clunky as always. However, I no longer see the option for refundable deposit when I try to check out. I've tried three different browsers.

I've also noticed that trying to search cruises based on dates or departure port just isn't working at all.

Something is going on.
