That about wraps it up but no complaints as long as they do the cooking and cleaning for me for a few days.😁

A sea day ,a day sailing around Lorde Howe Island and another sea day back to Sydney would be enough for me.

Nah, that's too short. You'd barely get a chance to relax and get into the shipboard routine before it was time to disembark.

Beggars can’t be choosers.

Just think when you flash that elite medallion and every one steps back in respect.

Lol, I bet you didn't  think we would need a name change when it was first started

Nope! 😲 . When I started this thread I was only thinking this cruise ban was only going to last 6 - 12 months, not TWO years! 😲

I did not even think I would needed to add 2022 to it early on in the year 😞

Yep it certainly  has dragged on a lot longer than I had expected at first as well.

And the $64,000 question will it go on to 2023? The mind boggles.

I thought I was being pessimistic when I orginally said 2021 when it started in March 2020. It appears I was too conserative. 

[Blackduck59]

When Julie started the "Predict when cruising will start again" thread  most of us thought there would be one cruise "Season" would be lost in each market. Even the most pessimistic had every market back by this time. Canada has lost 2 full seasons so far and now "Omicron" has many people looking to cancel cruises in 2022, even 6 months from now.

I hope the ships that are alongside now will be back in service soon. It would really be nice For travelers world wide to have a proper timeline as to when the markets that are currently closed will open.

Of course "Omicron" is the new apocalypse and everyone is chasing their tails to comply with the new orders. I wish they would get to actually studying this "variant" on the ground in Southern Africa to ascertain the properties, symptoms (or lack there of) and how it is effected by the vaccine. So far they have pushed the panic button without sufficient data.

When is your Viking cruise Lyal?

That will be in early April, so a few months for this to settle down. Viking Orion is on the west coast of the US now doing some Los Angeles to Mexico cruises. They were originally supposed to be Hawaii itineraries but Hawaii is closed to cruise ships until the new year at least. The cruise and airfare are both paid for and barring something catastrophic (to me so far Omicron is NOT catastrophic, we need more data). So far we are doing the same as we have for months, staying mostly to ourselves.

Merry Christmas everyone.

there’s not much to talk about in the way of cruises in Australia.

I think we are starting to look for the easiest cruise  destination for next season . That’s the country with the least restrictions and that looks like the U.S.

 

 

We are in the height of what should be our cruise season and most of our ships are off Cypress.

 

 

 

And the U.S with all it’s problems is in full swing. Even Ruby Princess is doing 9 night cruises out of San Francisco.

 

 

 

And the Caribbean is doing great,have a look at the cruise ships deployed and even though some break outs they are doing it.

 

 

enjoy your camping trip,LOL

So you are seriously considering an overseas cruise? And when?

Wonder who else is thinking this way, or has an OS cruise booked for 22/23?

Well ,the best I can see is domestic cruises in 2022-2023 if any.

We would like some more adventure next Christmas Rather than up and down the NSW coast.

Me and my friends have been discussing the easiest trouble free destination for a cruise and want to plan.

Europe has to many countries with differing bureaucracies .

 Singapore or Japan would be ok but I read ,there something like 8 hours of paper work before you leave australia.

The U.S are having break outs but seem to be doing it without to much inconvenience.

Dubai is another possibility , I haven’t done much research on that.

 

Maybe someone has a suggestion?

 

Maybe if we get a new government things may change but who knows what the next year will bring.

We have numerous  cruises booked for late 2022, Japan, Mediterranean and Africa. Not sure if the later will proceed as per its itinerary but hoping it does.

Celebrity Solstice in October 

[Chiliburn]

Celebrity has 2 itineraries , 12 hours flight from Sydney from memory .

The trees would be changing colour about then.
‘I don't know if Japan will be sailing then. 

 

[MicCanberra]

The first one, flight time Sydney to Tokyo is 9.45hrs.

9.5 hours that good better than America.
 

They have the same cruise in March 2023 ,the next one is a repo to Vancouver and the next is Alaska.

That would be a good B3B but probably getting a bit ambitious in these times.
