It would be hard to say anywhere in the US. The value is simply not there for the most part compared to a cruise. For me, it is entertainment and relaxation for vacation. We use to go to Disney when the cost was less than a cruise. Now that the cost is almost 2x a cruise we can no longer afford to go. If we go to say Hilton Head right now, we would be paying ~$200/night for a hotel, at a minimum $50pp/day for food. Drinks and other things would be another add on. All of that is well over the cost of a cruise which includes entertainment, places to see, and things to do. All of that is an extra cost elsewhere. 

Agree with this! National parks are OK but not relaxing or entertaining for us. We are considering trips to Nashville, Branson or Myrtle Beach which are not too far of a drive from our area. But I think the entertainment will still be limited until the pandemic eases up (through vaccines or therapeutics)...

Wether you trust them or not, this vaccine will not be distributed outside of Russian federation territories and therefore is a moot point to the vast majority of CC users. 

That's not true!! I read it here on the thread by taglovestocruise that it will be distributed in pill form and sold by Amazon!

Yes, there will be a lot of cut backs in service and quality of food.

I think even the number of crew and their salaries will be reduced dramatically, possibly by even 40%

Gratuities will go up and the cost of onboard spending will increase

This may cause a lot of people to look elsewhere for vacations (IMHO).
