SpeedNoodles Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 We don't consider celebrating Thanksgiving with anyone as obligatory. If we don't want to go to the relatives homes, we don't (which we've opted for each year over the last 4 or 5 years). We never host because our home is not child friendly. Usually we just try to arrange our schedules so that we just work that day. Neesa, rox, PRebecca and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempoGL Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 If your cruise is canceled, which in all honesty it probably will be, that means that covid is still a serious problem. Therefore, I wouldn't worry about hosting a large Thanksgiving either way. Tira04, Baked Alaska, SpeedNoodles and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Thanksgiving cruise booked for Symphony but I have a Strong Feeling it will be canceled. Holland America and Princess already canceled their cruises through December 15 so its not looking too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy H Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 My transatlantic, which WAS leaving on Thanksgiving day, was cancelled. We were able to lift and shift to next year, Oct 31 on the Harmony transatlantic. It will be our first time on a big ship! We are really looking forward to it! However, if by chance everything opens up for winter 2021, we will be on a ship! Any ship! Any itinerary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously we have done similar cruises on Harmony 2016 and Symphony 2018. Loved both of them. Katy H, cruisellama and rox 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even my FEB 2021 is in doubt I hate to admit this but I recently booked a Jan 2021 cruise just so I could lift and shift it to Jan 2022 ... It was a big savings compared to booking the Jan 2022 directly. I'm not that sure the Jan 2022 cruise will even happen but at least I will have a place to park a FCC if my April 2021 doesn't happen. I think I'm going crazy!! Baked Alaska, ehw51 and cruisellama 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even my FEB 2021 is in doubt O ye, of little faith'? ....... I'm still optimistic we'll get this thing under control. Over the last week, all the metrics involving COVID are downward trending, some of them steeply. FL is looking good - keep it up. There's also a good deal of testing technology coming down the road that could help stop community spread and make the US look more like South Korea. There's at least 3 vaccines one of which will likely see initial distribution by December 2020. I posted this in a little used Celebrity & Azamar thread in response to similar concerns about the resumption of cruising: I think this thinking about rapid, point of care (POC) testing and canning the current CDC's/FDA's testing strategy that has failed, and how rapid POC testing can be used to obtain containment is important. I'm writing my state legislators about it. recommend readers/posters here do the same. Spread the word. LizzyBee23 and rox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO If you had blindly asked me, I'd have agreed. But - firstly, I believe there were many reports saying they could make it to Q3 of 2021 with NO revenue, and they will be getting at least a tiny bit of revenue with deposits and the small amount of cruising that will likely happen in Asia and Europe before then. Secondly, if they declare bankruptcy, someone will swoop in and take over operations. It's not like this is a dead industry that nobody will ever want to patronize again. If there's money to be made, however distant it will be, someone will make the investments to try and make that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
