Just out of curiosity, what cruise line was it?

We booked for August 2023 with a fully refundable deposit. We should have time to read reviews well before then; at least I hope so with the way they are cancelling the earliest cruises.

Just one more thing to look forward to. 😊

We are booked the month before you. I have not been checking prices, but now wonder if they have also doubled for our cruise.

DW is hoping our flight to London for the Prima in August 2023 is on British Airways. (Her late father was an executive with British Airways.) And maybe the flight back from Reykjavik could be on them also. She would be very happy with that.

You left out smallpox. We could have all been wiped out. A few years ago, there was a measles outbreak in parts of my state due to a "religious" exemption as well as a medical exemption allowed for enrolling in school. The NY legislature passed and the then governor signed a bill doing away with the "religious" exemption. The anti-vaxxers of course appealed it, but the state's highest court allowed the law to stand citing the state's power to protect health. And before you say its my personal decision who else does it affect, there is a youngster who is our son's Godson in all but official name who is immunocompromised. He can skip the measles vaccine as long as there is herd immunity. His parents had to decide whether to expose him to the measles outbreak or a shot that might negatively affect him. They chose the latter as the less dangerous, and luckily it worked out. They should never have had to make that choice, and now don't thanks to the new law.

We book with a TA. Princess is a cruise line that allows TAs to discount the price. Also, we have booked where he has a group rate as he reserved cabins. TAs are not allowed to publish on their website their discounted fare, but you can learn the less expensive fare by calling.

It should be interesting to see what the data shows. Thank you for doing this.

Oh well, hopefully it works more often than not.

That is good to know. I wonder how many take advantage of it?
