Well I don't want to send you for more testing, but you could be past the live virus stage. If you get tested for antibodies, then you will know whether or not you actually had it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaman11 Posted June 25, 2020 Author #33 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I just got word from a Casino rep (she lives in florid)that said she got word from above that Oct is going to be a go out of florida. Said the FL economy has suffered greatly and that the politicians nor the cdc will block sailings past oct. no matter how many cases of covid a day.

From memory, could be wrong, at various times you have forecast a return for May/June/July/August/September and November. You have not forecast October, and I recognise you are not personally forecasting that. It looks increasingly like 2021, as many (wrongly christened doom & gloomers, by some) have suggested. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qdog123 Posted June 25, 2020 #42 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I see freighters still regularly going in and out of the port of Tampa when I’m hiking in the park near my house. I bet you could hop on one of those and maybe even get paid to sail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVID 19 is now so out of control in the US that it probably doesn't matter since no country is going to allow ships full of American passengers without pre-quarantine until a vaccine is found. I suppose Pride of America could sail except there is no way Hawaii allows mainlanders either. Edited June 25, 2020 by fastpitchdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are exactly right, though a governor could keep things closed even if the CDC says it is OK to go. The governor could not open without CDC OK.

An interesting outline of what safeguards Ponant cruises will be introducing, upon returning. Bear in mind they are 'boutique' ships, between 180ish and 260ish passengers, with acres of space! This is direct from the Ponant CEO, not the opinion of any travel agency or similar. There is no way we would be sailing, with these restrictions in place! https://fr.calameo.com/read/00013242371fe0f908d85?authid=ekgNT5Wj7RSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
