BekkaW Posted February 7, 2021 #202 Share Posted February 7, 2021 We recently booked western med for May 2021, burn i’m starting to feel very uncertain that it will go ahead dude to the delays to vaccination and high number of cases here in Europe. With the extension of double points into 2022 we will likely book a few for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted February 7, 2021 #203 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm even questioning our March 2022....lots of hurdles to go between vaccines (adults in the last distribution, but also kids under 16), border opening (we're Canadian), quarantines and tests lifted. As soon as we can, we'll be back....but sadly, think it'll be a long time for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KmomChicago Posted February 7, 2021 #204 Share Posted February 7, 2021 We have one booked on Carnival Mardi Gras for August 2021, the last date of the summer before school starts back up, i.e. as far out as I could book and as early as I thought there might be a reasonable chance of actually going. I am hoping to be able to compare Carnival's newest, largest ship ever, with Oasis of the Seas, which was, so far, my favorite cruise on my favorite ship. We like both of these lines about equally and decide based foremost on timing and pricing, but we have found bigger and newer ships are more to our tastes if we can make the budget work.

Ashland Posted February 7, 2021 #205 Share Posted February 7, 2021 In addition to my July 2022 Arctic Circle booked a few weeks ago I also just booked Alaska 2022. I'll continue to book as I see good deals on itineraries I hope that will sail. Looking forward to 2023 schedule coming out also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATG Posted February 7, 2021 #206 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I’ve lost 4 cruises, not many compared with many on here, but I get depressed each time. The only one we currently have booked is a year from now. IF ships start sailing, I’ll see what’s available. We have appointments for our first vaccine shot tomorrow. So, by the time they sail, we’ll be covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I try to follow along, I can't keep up. So they are just pulled and not officially canceled? I guess they are waiting to pull a few more final payments.

As I stated they are trying to see if there is any way that some of the cruise can be salvaged by an exemption to the PVSA which the politicians in Alaska are pushing for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justmekaren918 Posted February 8, 2021 #217 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Gave up when my September was canceled by me after arguing to many times ship ain't sailing & not Royal, and no L&S, no dep. back/credited, OBC gone. On the water NH Lake house booked for June & Sept. 2021 B-days & Dog can come. They ain't going to sail til. 2022! They'll be mighty expensive to make up for the lost time & less capacity.

grandgeezer Posted February 8, 2021 #218 Share Posted February 8, 2021 As long as the vaccines are working so wel and looks like the answer, there is no way the PVSA will be altered for the cruise industry. If doing that was even being considered they would have done it a long time ago. This has been going on for eleven months and no exact end in sight.

It sounds fab and I'm tempted but holding out 😀 Initially I thought this whole covid thing would last 12 weeks, how wrong was I.

Tom As you are in the US claim the discount on MYVegas to get the discount code you then need to call the toll free number on the email you will get for Club Royale it only applies to new bookings , you then pay deposit and in five days the discount will deducted off final payment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci22 Posted February 8, 2021 #224 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I've been looking again the past week, but it's expensive to get a refundable deposit. If they made deposits refundable for the same price I'd be more likely to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why cruise lines can't just visit only American ports (other than one NCL ship in Hawaii) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
