Goodtime Cruizin Posted September 23, 2020 #152 Share Posted September 23, 2020 BTW, the Governor of Texas just opened restaurants to a level of 75% seating capacity for indoor dining this past Monday, but he also continued the closure of bars.

Rare livingonthebeach Posted September 23, 2020 Author #154 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Getting back to the possible extension of the no-sail order -- chances are it will be after the stock market closes - that's the time it was announced for the previous extension and it was on a Thursday. My money is on tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 24th at 4pm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyguyjake Posted September 23, 2020 #156 Share Posted September 23, 2020 With over 40K new cases & nearly 1K deaths daily in the USA I cannot imagine sailing to resume. Even though I am as excited as the next person to get back on board, I can't sail if I'm 6ft under. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I supposed fresh airflow would be the difference. I support my local restaurants using curbside pickup or delivery. No way am I sitting in a hot parking lot breathing car exhaust. Those are some die hard foodies. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping some of them become permanent as I have enjoyed eating outside at most places. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you feel comfortable going to a water park if you participated only in the lazy river, river rapids, or wave pool (nothing that requires standing in a line, such as slides)? Just two mature adults, no kids, during the week. That's a good question. Over the summer I was ok swimming in the ocean but our town pool skeeved me out. It wasn't the crowding and we only went in the adult section but it was the water passing through the nasal passages and back into the water that bothered me. We only just jumped in to cool off. We didn't even put our heads under the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have general prices gone up or remained the same? The biggest changes are only one park per day and you have to make reservations ahead of time to visit a park. You can only have three reservations at any one time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnjen Posted September 24, 2020 #170 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Well, our beloved RCL has already cancelled MANY cruises as far into June next year. Carnival is tossing 12 (no wait, EDIT that, EIGHTEEN) of their ships from their fleet. I am wondering if RCL will take the same course? I also see both cruise lines' stock has TANKED the other day. Maybe this is the end of cruising for a LOT of us, if not ALL. Edited September 24, 2020 by johnjen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is the end of cruising for a LOT of us, if not ALL. I see the cruise industry as shifting, consolidating, scaling down, but not entirely going away. The experience and form of cruising will no doubt be in flux and only those lines that can quickly reinvent themselves will survive. I read an interesting statistic the other day "71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water" as long as this remains there will be ocean travel. So don't despair, it will come back, maybe not as we knew it, but cruising is here to stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of those are tied to a weekend we are spending at Disney next month. Maybe it makes a difference if you are staying in a Disney hotel?
