emmef Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Royal has already said that they don't believe it will be profitable. We will see if they change their mind now that cruises will actually happen in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian T Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I for one hope they do change their mind. My wife has had both of her jabs and I am booked in for mine (first one on Saturday) so if a RCL UK cruise did become available we would book it in a heartbeat em.down.the.rabbit.hole, J_Keeble and emmef 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article states that the earliest it can happen is May 17th which is the date boris said he hoped to have things go to plan it could happen, hopefully it does as we need something to look forward to but given our history of messing things up and going backwards im not that optimistic WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it as a positive that cruising (albeit domestic) has been specified and added to the road map out of lockdown. Mike.s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hope they've discussed this with Nicola before releasing it to the press! Its ok saying we are going to cruise around the UK but its 4 separate countries with their own governments and their own covid rules. If Nicola doesnt want it then it wont happen.

Alas there's but 1 uk government... its a shame the 4 individual states aren't aligned at the moment, as its so confusing. Wonder which governing body has control of waters and borders? Individual states have responsibility for health etc.. but no idea about security, borders, and water‽ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some powers are devolved to the governments in Scotland, NI, Wales however those governments have no say on what goes on outside their country whereas the UK government's reserved powers are UK wide.

Yet nicola was able to quarantine anyone and everyone from anywhere in the world despite uk government saying it was only 33 countries? Which is how the Brazilian strain entered Scotland. 4 offshore workers flying from brazil to Scotland knew they would have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days so they flew to paris as france isnt on englands list from there they flew to london then up to Scotland avoiding the need to quarantine.

Royale Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I doubt many uk natives would avail of a cruise around the uk I would enjoy seeing more of Scotland but I’d prefer to from the car. I could nip home and check my plants if we ported at belfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
