Our next sailing is 11/29, which I re-booked due to our April cruise cancellation.
 
I'm so desperate to sail again, but now I'm really losing my elan for it.  Most people fully
expect all of November and probably December to be postponed, so I'm just not in a 
hurry to buy any of my cruise planner or non-RC excursions.  I guess I'm just "cruise depressed".

It's a great place.
We went in Nov '18 and it was super nice.  We're also going on our 11/29 cruise - and don't anyone 
tell me that it's gonna be cancelled, cause that ain't happnin'

I feel like this isn't talked about a lot and I agree 100%. I've cruised solo and with others and the same with land vacations. The resorts in some countries are awful with the staff following you and making unwanted advances...and in my case, I didn't feel comfortable going to the managers because I was afraid of some sort of retaliation.
Never felt this way on any of my cruises, I've always felt safe walking around the ship.
For me, I'll always choose to be by the water. I grew up on the water, it's my happy place. Add just about everything else that has already been mentioned and it's a perfect vacation.
 

I get away and 100% relax.  
I get away from my house, my job, politics, having to feed the animals, driving....yadayadayada...
 
And one thing that has always stood out for me - the crew members treat me like I'm somebody,
which is so rare these days.  They are unfailingly courteous, friendly, and respectful - as I am to them.
 
I've only been on 4 so far, but I'm as hooked as I can be - I would cruise right now at 11:30 on Friday 
night in the middle of a pandemic if I could.  Just love it.

I'll repeat pretty much what others have said
it's a way to totally get away from work and problems, etc it's a way to have complete family time (no internet for us so we really just enjoy our time together) no cooking, cleaning and laundry (well ok...laundry will be waiting when we return but none to be done during the week) so much to do for all of us, adults and kids, between the amenities (swimming, mini golf, rock wall, waterslides, zipline, laser tag, sky pad, etc etc depending on the ship) and the organized activities (e.g. scavenger huts, trivia, dance classes, games such as giant jenga, etc etc) great food selection and love the sit down every night excellent entertainment and variety every single night (broadway shows, musical acts, comedy type shows, etc, then fun things like Love & Marriage, Quest, Battle of the Sexes, etc) yummy fun drinks different music playing in the evenings (schooner bar, other areas along the promenade) crew is generally excellent, smiling, happy excellent ambiance...I love just waking and exploring the ship, looking at the art work on the walls and around the ship, etc relaxing...nothing better than going for a walk and watching the water move by (will often just watch the wake at the back) and seeing different places for a day I really don't think any other vacation even comes close.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!

 
If my 11/29 cruise is cancelled, just take me out back and hit me in the back of the head with a shovel.  I'll dig the hole.

Oh come on!  Throw me a little bone, LOL.  They can at least report to the CDC how what has worked, what hasn't and how they can improve!!!!

I just checked both of my upcoming Harmony cruises, and they are both higher than
what I have.  Also, the drink package has gone back to crazy.   It'll be better around Labour Day 

At least you are considerate enough to share. 
Nobody eats them off my plate...they are all mine!

Working on it, now that we are in indefinite dry dock. 😉
