There is no doubt he has been much quieter in recent times, but was honest enough to admit he had been too optimistic re a potential return date. We have become much kinder, and understanding, in relation to his previous over optimism. Realism is setting in, and he now seems to 'get it'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, this COVID 19/cruise shutdown realism is settling in for all of us. Not looking good for the rest of 2020 and perhaps well in to 2021 (let's hope not; come on vaccine!).

MrsKC08 Posted June 29, 2020 #231 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I'm ready to get on a ship tomorrow...even if it just goes out to see and doesn't visit any ports. Give me some great food, a drink in my hand, some entertainment/music, and spa treatment or three.... 🙂 and I'm good. I need a cruise, BAD! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcakes122 Posted June 30, 2020 #232 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I've been quiet lately too because there is honestly no joy in saying "I told you so" in this case. I am sad for what is happening in this country and for the way people are behaving. That said, the current situation is a result of people gathering in large groups without diligent social distancing and mask-wearing - the SAME scenario there would have been on a cruise ship. I bet NCL and the other cruise lines are thanking their lucky stars they did not resume cruising yet with the current state of Florida. I get that they want the revenue, but even a single Covid death after relaunch could seriously impact cruising going forward. No cruise line wants to be the one that has to report that first death. So, we are all not cruising, but hopefully everyone is staying safe! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, MASKS and SOCIAL DISTANCING do make a difference! 😷👍 (and there are other ways to vacation besides cruising!) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cases exploded, if not for that they could have started in Aug slowly. florida and texas were having 400 cases a day with 10mil population each. its not as if i was in denial. I was anticipating cases to go down after an initial spike . My mistake was thinking people were going to be careful ,behave and follow the guidelines so by august we would be in good shape. That didnt happen :(. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry if my post upset you, but the CLIA made a call to delay cruising until at least mid-september long before the Florida spike was evident! On that basis, August was never realistic. And, here in the UK, our record is not any better....especially in some English hotspots! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ gonna make you quarantine for 14 days? Better check the list, they keep adding to it. Virginia is the only state from the Confederacy not required to quarantine.

Hopefully you'll be allowed inside dining by that point. Where are you staying? At present we have no plans to visit AC. Without Covid we would be there every week.
