Mrdodgy Posted May 25, 2020 #201 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Not fear mongering at all. What I posted was beyond your simplistic comprehension. I get cheap cruise deals sent to me all the time. I am discerning on what I book. You don’t have to book because it is cheap. I have passed up many good deals over the years. I have impulse control.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Even though your life your love your lady is not the sea, (I think you are more a vacationer than a cruiser) I would still like to know your definition of a good deal, My definition of a good deal is $71.42 per day or less, that includes, fare, taxes, fees, and tips. So basically out the door for a 7 day cruise is $500 or less, that is a good deal. How about you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogfog Posted May 25, 2020 #207 Share Posted May 25, 2020 OK We have a booking for a Med sailing and it has amazing ports later this year We got an NCL email that the cabin class was given some other amenities... Not a lot of $ on the line with that one for the cabin deposit. Haven't booked air yet--and its gone up about 20%. Crazy given the scant bookings. Looked into next year and we'd have to do b2b to get those ports in one trip Re the EU and eastern Med, Turkey, Israel etc... does anyone have some links re policies for travel? Also-- has anyone found an OFFICIAL NCL statement re what life on board will look like? Or a TA that may prove insightful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically out the door for a 7 day cruise is $500 or less, that is a good deal. How about youThe price of a cruise is only one of the variables that makes it a good deal to me. I look at the whole picture. It is not a good deal if I don’t like the itinerary, the ship, the cruise line or some other variables. Your mumbles about your life your love your lady is not the sea sounds childish. I have been a cruise fan, been on over 60 sailings, 4 last year and 1 this year before they stopped.

No other EU country in the Med area has announced similar to date, although the government noises coming from Greece are currently positive ....to the best of my knowledge. Cases in Turkey are ramping up, and that is very close to Greece! Edited May 25, 2020 by hamrag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is low cost and has great value I will be all over it and so would most TRUE cruisers. Exactly. The NYSE floor is opening back up today.

Things are slowly getting back to normal and I feel like we will be in the full swing of things in a few more months. The NYSE floor is opening with strict social distancing and face masks. Do you think that is normal? Will face masks be the new normal on cruise ships? Seeing the pictures of Memorial Day activities in some places I am not sure Americans are ready to social distance on a cruise ship. If you live at the foreign ports you might not want ships sailing from the US to come if you have seeing that.

As for Memorial Day, I think it will be great to use those locations as case studies. Many people have had the virus and were asymptomatic. Only time will tell how many people are left to be infected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger88 Posted May 26, 2020 #220 Share Posted May 26, 2020 All companies are ready to start operation. Its a matter of a few weeks in my opinion. Most of the limitations are down and people are planning to start cruising. Summer is the hottest period for tourist companies as many people were planning vacations from June to August. So yes, demand will be super high 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Ontario, we have recently seen an increase in the number of people who test positive for COVID-19 and officials believe it may be traced back to people relaxing the social distancing rules on Mother's Day.

Here in Ontario, we have recently seen an increase in the number of people who test positive for COVID-19 and officials believe it may be traced back to people relaxing the social distancing rules on Mother's Day. I wouldn't doubt it. My own 80-year-old grandmother went to her sister's house for a family dinner with my 60-year-old mother on Mother's Day. I met up with them on their way back home to give them their gifts. It has been over 14 days later and nobody is infected. They took a chance and were fine, so was I. That being said, I personally am not getting on a plane or boat today, tomorrow or even next month. But I don't see the harm in travel in late July and beyond. Viruses usually travel in seasons and there really is something to flu being more dormant in the warmer months. I think we will be fine if travel resumes in a couple of months all the way to December. Only time will tell, I suppose.
