If you make it to 90, you got a lot going for you. My mom just made it to 90 Monday up in NY- sadly I did not get to go up and help celebrate🍻 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am personally ready to cruise and would love for this sailing to go. I know nobody has a crystal ball. But if you were a betting person. What is your probability that his will sail? Absolutely NO and I live down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandebeach Posted July 16, 2020 #680 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Well, when cruising does resume out of Florida, there may be more options to fly to Florida. Just got an email from Jet Blue that, pending regulatory approval, they will be entering into a strategic partnership with American Airlines and will be able to increase flights out of New York. I did not see that one coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now they are NOT flying there at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not see that one coming. I didn't see that coming either but maybe that means more options into cities other than Miami. On the other hand I hate American. JetBlue is tolerable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In every country it has come from somewhere. In the UK most of our first cases were people coming back from skiing holidays. That's why lockdown works. Gives breathing space to try and bring it under control and put procedures in place for when things start to sloooowly open up Indeed. The countries (and with us the state to state travel) that still have incoming tourists...seem to be hit the hardest. Plus any city that has higher population. Damn Covid...keeping us from doing what we love. And very sad to see so many hurting in more ways than one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has definitely been hard on all of the relatives and friends that know they can't visit. Bucky's best friend from school, who he has kept in contact with all these years...passed away early this morning. He was unable to visit him in the hospital or at home where he passed with Hospice care. He was able to talk to him briefly last night on the phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted July 16, 2020 #690 Share Posted July 16, 2020 NOPE NADA NEVER The party crowd has practically ruined cruising from Fla for rest of year. From us retired folks THANKS FOR NOTHING. I hope your beer and suntan was worth it for helping to extend and raise the curve. Would love to see prohibition come back and see how they feel about losing something they enjoy.

Understand but the Virus would still be here for near time cruising even in total lockdown and if so, you can’t cruise anyway. It’s never been about stopping the virus, it been about overrunning the healthcare system. M8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every hospital is on the list, total beds, beds available, ICU beds, available ICU beds. The list doesn’t address staff which is more important. My son typically works 3 12 hour days in ICU. He just completed his first double, 6 days in a row but doesn’t go back until next week. M8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
