Guerncruising Posted February 4, 2021 #51 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ah yes we had an email today covering Alaska, Mediterranean, Baltic amongst others. And yet another question, who will accept who? And also what will be required? In our case the UK may require two weeks isolation in a hotel and then when we arrive on our island a further two weeks? Well we’re retired so no problem, but we also provide help with child care and therefore can’t be out of circulation for too long. Itching for a cruise though.

Thanks to mariners for answering your question as i could have speculated but someone from that province is better. 1 hour ago, Wendy The Wanderer said: Travel between other provinces has not been particularly curtailed, nor has travel within provinces. Our travel in BC has been curtailed. We have been asked not to venture out of our health district. Our premier at 1 point asked for federal assistance in closing our provincial borders but the federal government said no. We have tried to discourage travel from other places but that is pretty tough to do when there are so very many access points. The other problem is the number of people from other provinces that own homes here in BC and they are living in their own property. You can't just go by license plates as they could have been here since the pandemic started or from the time when restrictions were temporarily lifted.

I've heard about the Albertans who want to go to their properties in B.C. Our big problems here in Ontario are cottages, and snowbirds. The former isn't much of a problem until spring, when huge numbers of people (me included) will be wanting to go to our summer homes out of the city. And snowbirds who went south against the government's pleadings and are now faced with draconian measures implemented mostly to deter March-breakers from going south. We are snowbirds as well, but stayed home, and I'm so glad we did. Edited February 4, 2021 by Wendy The Wanderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallydave Posted February 4, 2021 #56 Share Posted February 4, 2021 It appears cruising into or out of Canada is now cancelled for the next year. https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/ports-destinations/canada-announces-year-long-ban-most-cruise-ships?NL=ST-002&Issue=ST-002_20210204_ST-002_179&sfvc4enews=42&cl=article_1_b&utm_campaign=STRADE_News_Seatrade Cruise News Breaking Headlines_News_NL_02042021_1552&utm_emailname=STRADE_News_Seatrade Cruise News Breaking Headlines_News_NL_02042021_1552&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua&utm_MDMContactID=04296ed0-12fe-4c8a-a0f9-1855a7492dca&utm_campaigntype=Newsletter&utm_sub=Seatrade Cruise News Breaking Headilnes&eM=dd71f9cac1f372bccde63ff20d0b35f7736bdda7a135f2560c14b4f1e951ac88&eventSeriesCode=ES_SEATRDCRSCTNT&eventEditionCode=MTM00SCC&sessionCode=S_STRDCRSNWSBRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellaggio Cruisers Posted February 4, 2021 #57 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Anyone have an answer for us? We go fishing in Loughborough, Ontario every summer. We drive from Florida or New Jersey.

Still no chatter on NCL or Oceania boards. Still no setting of quarterly release dates from RCG or NCLH. Question now is whether NCLH includes all Canada sailings into this current round of cancellations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pcardad Posted February 4, 2021 Author #64 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I suspect strongly that the cruise lines did not know the extent of Canada's cancellation plans...but it doesn't seem to have impacted stock prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my confidence in NCLH management took another hit based on your comment. I am now very careful of what I post here as Regent reads these boards and they have contacted me directly based on my comments. I would hate for anything bad to happen to Regent as I am a big fan; I really do hope that Richard Fain takes over and gives Regent a bit more autonomy.

I think one of the Canucks (maybe Holtby?) is going to have to answer that; makes no sense. Makes perfect sense. Takes it to a point where they don't have to keep moving to the right like with the original CDC No Sail Order which had the same type of language. In the case of cruising to Canada after October, there aren't sailings until probably May of the next year. so this relieves them of making updates just like the CDC with the latest safe sail order that goes until November. Seems very much the same as CDC and logical at least to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonedaddy Posted February 5, 2021 #72 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The USA could simply suspend the jones act temporarily to allow the lines to skip canada and still do Alaska - perhaps that is why NCL hasn't cancelled yet 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted February 5, 2021 #73 Share Posted February 5, 2021 As I stated under another thread about sailing of 2021, ships are really being held hostage. Airlines fly with passengers sitting seat to seat to seat, trains are traveling, buses across the country and in the city, any kind of transportation, yet ships where there can be separation they won’t let sale. Also if we realize that our future cruise credit for a trip coming up in May and June we feel will be canceled, why are we being charged a deposit to hold another cruise with Regent. That just is not fair. We feel like our May and June cruises will not go, so we want to get the accommodations we want for an October cruise, and they’re coming back with a large deposit. Just not fair plus they won’t refund the money after the first first cruise credit. I’m just shocked. there has to be some spokesman on behalf of cruising. Think how many Land and sea employees are affected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go fishing in Loughborough, Ontario every summer. We drive from Florida or New Jersey. Does anyone have any insight as to border restrictions? sheila It's not looking good for summer travel here, Sheila. At the moment the federal government is concocting a program whereby any non-essential traveller allowed to enter Canada by air would be forced to have a test less than 72 hours before flying, then pay for 3 days of hotel quarantine, then continue their 14-day quarantine at their homes or available residence. Trudeau announced this hotel bit without any real plan in mind for implementation. Snowbirds currently south of the border are furious. So far it hasn't been applied nor announced for land crossings, but it could be in future. And that's moot for you anyways because Americans aren't allowed in for leisure travel anyways. We are stuck here and not at our place in Florida. So it works both ways. We could have gone, even driven, since David is a dual citizen and I could have flown to Detroit and he could have picked me up there. Or we could have flown and rented a car. Health issues precluded that, and now I'm glad we stayed home. I feel for you--we spend much of our time in summer here in Ontario at our cottage about an hour north of you, in the Ottawa Valley. Ontario is truly beautiful in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellaggio Cruisers Posted February 6, 2021 #75 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Wendy... we missed last year. Been going there for decades. We are so disappointed. We meet our Toronto friends there and spend wonderful days together..fishing and relaxing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
