Marlena 157 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I'm certainly not trying to start a fight, but I'm interested at when people think we are likely to be able to resume cruise vacations?? ( and please everyone remember this is just peoples opinions or guesses....stay nice! Lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,247 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Purely a guess. I will go with 1 July 2020 RCIfan1912, shaydav19, Neesa and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ampurp85 1,179 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I will guess Memorial day for "all travel" but as far as cruises I would too agree that the first week of June is looking good. April is not going to happen. SpeedNoodles, shaydav19 and Neesa 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazycruiser50 65 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Friend of ours that works on one of the ships said the entire staff was being sent home until August. That’s all he knew for now. Neesa, CruzOnBye and WAAAYTOOO 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ampurp85 1,179 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 @Crazycruiser50 This is possible but has no bearings on all of the cruises schedule. It could be they foresee the industry starting back in May or June and these particular workers contracts ended during this time ...thus they start back in August. I think COVID will need at least 60 days to run its course. Maybe another few weeks after to get things to a new normal. RCIfan1912 and Fireman973 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Curtis 174 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Probably August, the start of Hurricane season, sure hoping sooner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neesa 900 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 06 June 2020 the first Saturday of the month. We are not cancelling our 28 June 2020 so if RCCL cancels we will take the 125% FCC and apply to the Thanksgiving sailing. Just saw DCL pushed final payments for their summer sailings back 30 days. I wonder if RCCL is considering this? My balance is due at the end of this month, I guess we will see. (Always pay balance last possible moment, nothing worse then the feeling of missing a price drop because you paid the balance early.)

Crazycruiser50 65 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 We just cruised with him the first week of March and are supposed to cruise again on that ship on May 2nd, so trust me I am not happy. Luckily we have an Oct and Nov cruise scheduled too, so hopefully we can roll a FCC over to one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ampurp85 1,179 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 @Crazycruiser50 Well that sucks if that is the case. I cannot travel during the summer so my next cruise is in October. I highly doubt, if available, most cruise lines will not start as soon as they can. It could be ship and itinerary related as August is almost 6 months away....I cannot fathom that cruising would be able to survive that long without any sailings. I won't be delusional and say April but I also won't be pessimistic and say July either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
