grest Posted July 26, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted July 26, 2020 several islands have opened up, but you need to take a covid test a few days prior, and bring a copy of negative results. This is also dependent at times on what state you are coming from...Croatia is okay, and Usbekistan, United Emirates....a few others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So nine out of over 200 countries. Not exactly awe inspiring, considering how remote some of them are. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsel Posted July 26, 2020 #21 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Well I guess the stock market knows better than all the scientists and medics.The stock market is always forward looking and prices in the future, not the present.So the future is expected to be better than the present. Which is one of the reasons why there are many bookings for Cruises in 2021 and 2022.The other reasons being the pent up demand and the FCCs floating around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancal Posted July 26, 2020 #24 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) The vaccine will be available in a few months? Really? Tested, safe, approved and widely available to the general population? Let me check the latest edition of the National Enquirer next time I am in line at the supermarket check out.
