I’m sorry. I forgot you were the sole arbiter of reality.

So not true, there are many others on here  that's opinion's that are more into reality then wishful thinking. 

It's fine for either way.

Cruising as we knew it without masks and social distancing on ships leaving from US ports will not return until 2023.

For now there's no reason to expect anything but a masked up vacation.  Along with dozens of other restrictions, limitations and elimination of things. 

There is hope. Fauci said in an interview yesterday that it is probably time to ease up on indoor mask requirements. Hopefully the CDC will listen to the experts.

 

Sunday on ABC News, Fauci was asked whether it's time to start relaxing indoor masks requirements. Fauci replied, "I think so, and I think you're going to probably be seeing that as we go along, and as more people get vaccinated." "We do need to start being more liberal, as we get more people vaccinated," he added.

 

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be updating its guidance almost in real time, as more Americans get vaccinated, said Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Reality is relative, and if you'd ever met my relatives, you'd probably question what constitutes reality. Your problem with accepting opinions other than yours is that anyone who's opinion differs from yours is engaged in wishful thinking, while anyone who agrees with you fully embraces your definition of reality. Here's a hint: neither you nor anyone else on this board has a clue what will happen, but we're all entitled to our opinions without rebuke.

Well, so far, y'all been wrong way more. 

 

As I recall people swore cruising would return Summer 2020. And if you disagreed, you were a Debbie Downer. 

I never made any such statement.  If you're talking to me.  I've never made any "predictions" or swore on anything...just been saying I'm hoping for our Sept. cruise going...and trying to stay positive not negative...guess positivity is not welcome here any more.  But criticism is more than welcome... So sorry.  I'll try to stay quiet in future.

Great, but I was just making a general statement to someone else.  🤔

 

FWIW, you opened this dialogue with post #23.

You really need to own it.

I do own it and still mean it.  I hope all the negative opinions are proved wrong and I get to cruise in Sept.  And that's all I'm saying...😝  For a long time.

Except those "wishful thinkers" have been REPEATEDLY WRONG for the last 12 months and will never admit it.

Yes, September, but won't be going under these conditions with all the restrictions on the ship and with all the RCCL only excursions, first time ever in Europe, like to explore the ports on our own.

Don't see that happening, plus wearing a mask on a 8 plus hour flight doesn't sound cool either.

Europe can wait until 2022.

The CEO of Port Canaveral stated today that July sailings are out. Maybe August.

Faucci said today he expects masking up for flu season, even if covid is contained. They arent going to let up on masks that I can see. Always some reason not to let up.

 

I heard this morning also if they said the pandemic was over then they couldnt use the vaccines unless the fda gives permanent approval. Right now they are only approved for emergency use.

He did not say that he said “certain people may choose to wear a mask during flu season”... far stretch from what you said
