2021, the year of many vacations

Recommended Posts

Is anyone else looking at 2021 vacation possibilities every weekend? My wife gets worried and excited everytime I pull out the laptop and "browse" while watching football and drinking a couple beers. It may not be a giant number for many, but I never have 3 "big" trips planned out for 1 year. 1 trip to Hawaii and 2 cruises.

Just upgraded from a 3day getaway to Alaska via Quantum 7day on may 24th out of Seattle. Went with cheapest room available on this one because it was just so darn cheap($1280 for the 2 of us). This cruise was actually $100 cheaper than my 3day I had planned... no brainer.   Anyone else going on this one? YOLO book it

I'm absolutely "banking" all of the funds I would have spent this year on cruises and other relaxing vacation time.  Presuming we're in better shape in 2021 (vaccine, et al), I'm going to absolutely have some blow-out time off.  2020 has sucked (you may have noticed ?) and I'm going to definitely splurge to make up for it when I can.

I spend a LOT of my free time planning trips for 2021. I have a girls trip the beginning of the year, our 10th anniversary trip in the summer, our 'big' cruise in the fall and am hoping to work in another weekend cruise once things resume. I've learned a lot about Caribbean vacations the last few months! Planning and researching is something I immensely enjoy

We have 3 sailings booked in 2021 and am patiently waiting for the Odyssey itinerary for May & June 2022. I also totally enjoy the entire planning aspect of it, I thought about possibly doing the education and asking to join MEI but I know @Sharla makes it seem so effortless but I am sure her behind the scenes work is exhausting. I don't think I could deal with booking for me, or anyone like me and then multiply that? Nope,  I'm leaving it to my expert TA guru.  We usually sailed once a year, 2 the most on occasion, three is going to be amazing!

I technically have only three booked for 2021.  I recently did a lift and shift of B2B cruises originally booked for January 2021 to January 2022 --- Can I count those two cruises?  Two other cruises were originally supposed to happen in 2020.

Move it baby, move it
I ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin' goin' on!

Next year... I hope.

Other than the "big move" we don't have anything but cruises planned.  Believe it or not, Dan has never gone to Disney World.  He grew up in SoCal so he's been to Disneyland a brazillion times but never WDW.  We may sneak up to Orlando once we get settled if the parks are open and we can fit it in between cruises !!

We have 21 cruises on the books from Nov 2020 through April 2022.  I hold out very little hope that our 4 in 2020 (2 in NOV and 2 in DEC) will actually sail, but they're still on the books and I received cruise docs for my B2B on NAV Nov 6-13.  Most of these are B2B with 1 B3B (Jan 2022 on Oasis).  1 casino comp to Alaska (our first time to AK !!!!) and the big AUS/NZ/HI/? trip in March and April of 22.

We currently have 3 booked for 2021.

Normally we cruise March Break and end of summer with our kids, but when we lost our cruise this past March, we booked Christmas.  Things weren't looking too good so we lifted and shifted to next Christmas.  Not confident March will run (or borders will be open) but really hope we can get at least 2 in...and we've never gone at Christmas break so would be first time for us.

We have 2 booked for 2021 - both RCB Group Cruises (and one non-GC in Jan 2022).  I'm so excited about them, yet my enthusiasm is tempered by the realization that they may not happen.  I had some hope until a friend of mine who is a Biomedical sales rep told me that they have been told to not expect a vaccine until 2022.  And vaccines that may be only 50% effective.  I'm hoping for sooner and better, but people keep stomping on my dreams.

Zero travel booked for '21, waiting for 2022 itineraries to come and will just be booking one big trip with the family for that summer. As far as I'm concerned, 2021 is going to be another year of staycations and maybe some mini-trips to places like Cape May or maybe Niagara Falls, where we can rent a whole house / cabin for ourselves via Air BnB.

So... you kinda sorta have "21 for '21". ?

Just one trip for 2021 so far, it's a cruise, in September. I am hoping for a few land trips but fear @JLMoran is right, at least for the first half of the year. We did do two small trips this year, Wildwood NJ & NY Adirondacks. I can see similar trips next summer which would be nice. Depending how the spring plays out, I'd like to book another "larger" vacation in October / November next year.
