As long as RC can provide food and drink (mainly alcohol), that's all the satisfactory service we need.

How about seating and service in dining, that'll go down as reported cases state that it's the crew getting sick! No thanks. I'll wait until spring. Have fun! TC

Omi's peak is estimated to be upon us shortly.  Calmer heads are starting to prevail in some governments.  Capacity on ships will fall because it always does in January.  Christmas and NYE peaks had really poor timing with Omi.  If Omi had hit in January the result would have been massively different for the cruise lines. 

Just really bad timing this time.   That doesn't mean there needs to be massive changes or even minor changes.  Follow the science as cruise lines have been.  Don't follow cable news and whatever you do don't use social media as an information source.

It is bad timing, our cruise was cancelled 2x and we cancelled our 1/9. Such a bummer, who wants to cancel a cruise? NOBODY! We just think it's too risky for us.

We have a cruise scheduled 01/09 and barring cancellation by the cruise industry we are going cruising. As of a few minutes ago the Bahamas cleared Freedom OTS to disembark on CoCo Cay so that conspiracy is now defunct. We will test as always, be careful in our events onboard and enjoy yet another cruise as we have since August. Flexibility and care is the name of the game now, onboard ship and at home. Even with additional protocols the cruises have been enjoyable and we cannot wait for the next ones.

We also have a cruise scheduled for 1/9. We just called Celebrity to cancel it. They gave us quite a hard time, not happy. Too many risks that can't be mitigated. Sure there are less than 1% of ppl getting sick on ships, but you can't social distance on a ship like at home. So chances are higher on getting the virus on the ship and going home with it. Also, the crew is getting sick, not the passengers. Let's not even start with the airlines, their ppl are sick too, another huge risk. We have to fly to our ports. Overall, it's a shitshow and you all are taking a huge risk. Ports, excursions cancelled, less crew. It really spoils the whole experience and we pay a lot for these cruises, I want #1 customer service.  If youre retired you can possibly get stuck on the ship, no worries. Miss ports, maybe, but not me. I pay for the whole experience not a stressful vacation. That's just me. TC
