Elkins45 Posted May 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I probably just gave Celebrity a bunch of my money to hold into for a year, but I just booked the July 25 eastern Caribbean from Ft. Lauderdale along with flights thru Celebrity. I guess I have some skin in the game now. We’ve never sailed on Celebrity so our fingers are crossed... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted May 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2021 You're not an idiot, you're an optimist – and day by day we can change that to realist. Bon voyage! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Germancruiser Posted May 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I agree- we have to move forward. Well done! I am the same- always the optimist. LOL. I did almost the same- I booked the Inaugrual Cruise - Maiden Voyage of Apex, starting June 19th.-so in four weeks time. Payment in full already and am very optimistic that the voyage is a " Go"- more and more so each passing day.

jelayne Posted May 22, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2021 We are not quite that optimistic, we booked for October. But we do believe that cruising from the US will start this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted May 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) As long as you are flexible there are no issues. Airline flights are likely to change along with the almost daily changes in cruise schedules and on board rules. No for DH and self but am sure just fine for others.

LOL - I am also booked on a Miami cruise (different line booked when I cancelled my Celebrity cruise for April 2021). Hopefully, our only worry will be watching the tropical weather updates before our cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted May 22, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 22, 2021 We cancelled our August cruise. We hope to return to cruising January 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have PIF cruises booked on the Edge in July and August, but we'll be driving down and back instead of flying. Right now the stars are lining up nicely for both the Edge and Equinox, but it will be a big relief once we finally hear both ships will be officially sailing on restricted cruises out of Port Everglades this summer. 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkins45 Posted May 22, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted May 22, 2021 We booked last night. Inside cabin at over $2K. Thus morning Carnival sent my wife a casino promotion email for a free balcony to Alaska out of Seattle. Same time as this cruise. Figures...

Done that and I stick to February and early March. I just wanted to go somewhere. I’m sure I will roast in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted May 22, 2021 #14 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Don’t think the weather in the Caribbean will be any warmer than much of the U.S. in July. You will always have trade-wind breezes and you will be well ahead of hurricane season. We have flown to Florida three times this year with no airline schedule disruptions except that they have now added more flights. As long as you are fully vaccinated you have little to worry about. We are also taking a chance on the second cruise out of Greece. You can’t hide under a rock forever and Celebrity intends to start cruising.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted May 23, 2021 #16 Share Posted May 23, 2021 We spent two weeks on St. John in July and the weather was actually very nice [and I hate heat and humidity]. Prices were lower and nothing was crowded [this was pre-Covid by many years], and locals were complementing us on our good sense in enjoying their year-round weather at low-season prices.

keels81 Posted May 23, 2021 #17 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I'm with you! Pulled the trigger on Edge for the end of July ... I've been dying to go on that ship and the itinerary was interesting enough for me and the other half with plenty of at-sea time to explore everything the ship has to offer! Just booked my pre and post-cruise hotel tonight too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we were going to wait until our Med/TA in October/November for our first cruise but when they opened up Alaska on Thursday we jumped on it (HAL) and are now waiting to see X's prices because they are running Friday-Friday and HAL is running Saturday-Saturday and not identical itineraries so conceivably we could do X, spend a night in Seattle at the end, then board HAL on Saturday. 🤭 (of course have to convince John to do both) Hope you guys are doing well! Any plans to head up here this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivey Posted May 23, 2021 #19 Share Posted May 23, 2021 We booked Equinox for August a couple of weeks ago. I’m being optimistic as well! I’m considering the Edge for the week before now. I’m so hoping to get some good news this week on the sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drarill Posted May 24, 2021 #20 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I just found out that my husband booked the Apex maiden voyage, on June 19th, two weeks ago. We are going to celebrate our anniversary with 11 friends!! 🛳️🇬🇷🛳️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cangelmd Posted May 24, 2021 #21 Share Posted May 24, 2021 We’ve been booked on Equinox Aug 1 for months - it’s an L&S that’s been moved I don’t know how many times. No air and hotel yet, waiting to hear something maybe next week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise wizard Posted May 24, 2021 #22 Share Posted May 24, 2021 We have a B2B booked on the Edge for 7/3 & 7/10 to celebrate anniversary #48. Still optimistic for cruising & marriage😍☺️😇 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
