Would you do Alaska cruise/tour 21 or 2022?

[MudderBear]

So....2020 obviously was cancelled.  I'm holding a reservation for May 2021, and also have a back up reservation for May 2022.  Wondering if anyone here is going 2021?  Not sure what things will be like?  Are we better off waiting for another year?  We are doing land/cruise.  2021 would be the Coral Princess, 2022 would be the Majestic Princess (which looks amazing, albeit 3500 passengers).

 

What are any of ya'll doing?

Cancelled my late May 2021 cruise and rebooked for 2022.  With Covid even with the vaccine beginning to rollout we felt May 2021 was to early.  Hope I'm wrong.

[skynight]

Personally I would wait until 2022. 

[deliver42]

I can't see May, 2021. Maybe August or September, otherwise 2022.

Princess cancelled our 14-day July cruise to Alaska.  We still have a 7-day August cruise to Alaska that is still on the books.  Keeping our fingers crossed that it won't be cancelled.  With that being said, we have rebooked our cancelled cruise for June 2022.

[Potstech]

Hope to be on an Alaska cruise the end of May 2021. Princess will decide.

Our cruise/tour last June was canceled.   I have one booked for June 2021 but don't have my hopes up.  Our 2021 Sapphire cruise was canceled a month ago because the ship was repositioned.   I was not happy since we had great side by side aft cabins with our son.   As soon as I heard, I looked for a replacement ship but the remaining ships doing Alaska were almost sold out and our cabins are at opposite ends of the ship.   I just booked June 2022.  I want this all over.  I feel like I have lost a year of my life and I don't have that many left the way it is.

Booked on May 10th 2021 -5 day from Vancouver to Vancouver but all rides on Canada opening up the port and Not getting cancelled again!

 

Will have the vaccine by then because I have 4 medically high risk conditions. All stable thank goodness!

2022!

 

Too much risk of a disruption; i.e. infected on board.

[beg3yrs]

Booked a 17 day Cruisetour for May 2022 on the Sapphire.

2022.  We take the 10 day Alaska cruise out of San Francisco. Ir won't be offered in 2021. Only 7 day cruises in 2021 to November as of now

2022 because those cruises depend on both the US and Canada returning to cruising for them to happen.

   We are booked on a 7 day Emerald Princess trip to and from Seattle in August 2021.  This will be a 50th anniversary celebration and we are taking the entire family (two suites for the kids and grandkids and a club class mini suite for us).  Being doubtful that this cruise will go, we booked an identical trip for 2022 today where we will celebrate our 51st anniversary.

I am a travel agent and have my own next cruise booked for 2022.  I am and have advised clients to skip international travel in 2021 as it will be a "transition" year with many requirements/restriction in place for 2021.  Local travel within the US if OK if after summer.  At least this is what I am telling my clients.

[Cruzinnana47]

Have just put a May, 2022 booking on hold (Ruby 10-day Inside Passage w/GB) to make up for our May, 2021 cruise which Princess recently cancelled. Had a 2020 7-day booked on the Emerald cancelled in March.

 

Hopefully this one will be a go...3rd time's  the charm!🤞

Sounds like good advice.

We were book for Alaska Cruisetour 2020 . 10 days land and 7 cruise. It, of course, was cancelled. We rebooked for July 2021. I am optimistic. I will probably cancel if I cannot get the vaccine by then. We are in the high risk group because of age so I am hoping we will  have the vaccine in time. The cruise is one thing but cannot see sharing a bus for 10 days.

How do you feel about a Christmas 2021 cruise to the Caribbean? We have a free offer from Celebrity and the latest one on offer is Christmas week. We'd only be going if we'd been vaccinated.

I'm booked on a cruisetour for June 12 2021.  If it's not safe by then or gets cancelled of course I'll move it to 2022. 

[helencruising]

We booked Alaska 2022. We felt vaccines, etc would have had more time to be done.

OTTAWA — Canada will not agree to lifting a ban on non-essential travel with the United States until the coronavirus outbreak is significantly under control around the world, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday.

Trudeau’s comments were a clear indication that the border restrictions will last well into 2021. The two neighbours agreed to the ban in March and have rolled it over on a monthly basis ever since.

 

There is your answer for Alaska 2021. Looking unlikely.

It looks like it might be under control with the roll out of vaccines, so it looks likely to me that by June we might sail.

2022. Hopefully by then I could do my own shore excursions. We've been to the "regular" Alaska ports many times. Why would we want to do an organized ship excursion? We just want to get off the ship, wander around, visit the brew pub, and go back to the ship. With any luck, by 2022 one will be able to do that again.

Book it. You will be vaccinated by then.

But also possible.  Things can change at anytime. There are several months between now and May.
