indiana123 Posted November 6, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Mine was Oceana last Christmas and New Year.. it was a pre-retirement cruise for the OH mostly to see if I could cope after my accident. I did, and the plan was to have at least three cruises this year. His job entailed working seven days a week in summer (hospitality) and holidays had to be taken in a small window each year. Oh well, hopefully in the future ☺️ For now we have food, we have roofs over our heads, we are warm and have each other.. everything else can wait x Edited November 6, 2020 by indiana123 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzywiz Posted November 6, 2020 #9 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Ours was Cairns, Australia, to Colombo, Sri Lanka on Fred Olsen's Boudicca. We flew out to Cairns on New Year's Eve 2019 and spent a week in Cairns before the 4 week cruise. We arrived back in the UK on February 7th. Since then we have had 5 cruises and a land tour cancelled but, as Indiana reminded me to count our blessings which are many. We are fit and healthy for our age, have a warm home and food plus family and friends that we video conference regularly but most importantly....we have each other. We also have these cruise critic posts which are helping to keep boredom at bay and inspire us to look forward to better times.....soppy or what!😷😁 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodaxe Posted November 6, 2020 #11 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Ours was to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in May 2019, Venice to Athens with Azamara. Since then family events and now the virus have put paid to any further plans. No intention of booking anything until the world settles down to something like normality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermotsgirl Posted November 6, 2020 #14 Share Posted November 6, 2020 September 2019, on Azura, to the eastern Mediterranean. It was an excellent cruise, and we really enjoyed it. It feels even more special now, as it was the last cruise in the pre-Covid era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DamianG Posted November 6, 2020 #20 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) 4th August 2019 on Ventura to the Canaries for 12 nights. I wrote a daily blog for the 1st time and I occasionally go back and read it to remember how much we enjoyed it. We said at the time that Ventura would be bottom of the list for booking another cruise yet here we are toying with the idea of booking another cruise on her in 2022!

Yes it was. 19 wonderful nights around France, Spain and Italy. Instead November 6th marks the start of lockdown No2. On a brighter note though, our personaliser tells me there are only 213 days to our next cruise🤞 Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interim should have had a July week on Iona and should be disembarking Arcadia after 19 nights to Greece right about now 🙁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted November 6, 2020 #25 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Our last cruise was the oceana New Year 5 nts 2018/19 . We toyed with the idea of a cruise mid year but opted for an adults platinum holiday in Cyprus (which turned out to be fantastic) knowing we had booked a year in advance the Ventura for the New Year 2019-20 which sadly we had to cancel .. My heart was not ready for it With a bit of luck there will be others though / 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
