So disappointed; cancelled ABC Islands cruise today.

Well, that's a novel perspective.

But actually, a very realistic one.  There could also be a cure developed by then (not saying it's very likely, but it is possible)

Well, if you are waiting for a vaccine, you may never cruise again.  It's been over 30 years, and they are still looking for one for HIV.  🍷

Totally different - there is no comparison.  Covid-19 is a variety of a very common virus and everything I have heard says that as vaccines go, this one should be easy to develop, albeit not overnight as trials and so forth need to be completed.

Sorry to hear that.  We are scheduled to go to the ABC islands and Cartagena on the Reflection on Jan. 4, 2021.  We haven't canceled yet, but I doubt we will go unless, as someone mentioned, we discover we were already exposed and have immunity.  It is unlikely that there will be a vaccine sooner than mid- to late 2021.  They have to develop it, test it, and then manufacture billions of doses.  (If anyone tried to get the new shingles vaccine when it first came out, you know how long the wait can be.)

We are booked for Connie in January on an ABC islands cruise out of tampa. Looking unlikely that we will be going either. Was so looking forward to it but doesn’t seem realistic right now. Starting to come to terms with that but we are going to wait until closer to final payment to decide for sure.
