The startup did have some issues with procurement of supplies as well as beefing up labor. Was RCI supposed to wait for covid to disappear, supply chains to resolve, fully staff ships, and then restart at 100%? How much longer would that have extended the shutdown? I think RCI did the best they could. In return I got to do a couple of cruises relatively inexpensively, received double C&A points, and got to experience an Oasis class ship at 50% occupancy and Odyssey at a little over 60%. Both were very, very enjoyable cruises.
I'm glad you are happy with your decision to move on from cruising. I'm still very much enjoying it.
