Maybe have a little gelato along with that in Italy. 😉 not if you are booking both those cruises at todays current prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little better with new muster system, but day 1, 3 times is still weak vs straight through Just curious, have you done many 21 day B3B's or 14 day TA's Have done 15 nighters, West to East Panama Canal cruises and Hawaii Round Trip from California; Also did a B2B, Pacific Coastal Cruise followed by an Alaska Cruise 17 nights in total, followed by 3 more nights sight seeing in Portland , Oregon area, rented a car drove there after getting off ship in Vancouver, We were gone for 22 days. No interest in a TA, Not interested in a long flight for 1 port and all the sea days. Edited September 7, 2021 by Jimbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will come across the pond with crew only. Sigh, crystal ball gazing? Edited September 7, 2021 by gbcruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just my opinion and many others on here have the same opinion about that sailing. I think another reason it will be canceled is so when they bring it back to the US they will be able to get in their test sailings and time needed between Europe Sailings and US sailings so they are sure not to miss any of the more expensive Holiday sailings around Thanksgiving. I guess in the end time will tell what Royal does and where their priorities are. $$$ in the end will determine what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the thinking is people haven't cruised in over a year so the money they would have spent on the missed ones, plus all the FCC's some have, they would be willing to.

Well you are consistent…… everyone has a right to an opinion….. it’s also easy to have one when you are not affected and no skin in the game other than when it gets to US….. have some thought for others really wanting it to go man….

bajathree Posted September 7, 2021 #61 Share Posted September 7, 2021 IMO there is no way this sailing will take place with passengers. Odyssey which just left Port everglades on Sun and was returned back into Port Everglades this morning with a medical emergency. No COVID was mentioned BUT it was reported that a single person was taken off the ship in a wheel chair with luggage plastic wrapped and the people escorting including the driver in the van that the person was put into all were wearing hazmat type outfits.If they felt it this important to transport the person off the ship that fast....how would they ever be able to handle such a situation where they are days away from any port in the middle of the Atlantic on a crossing.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it today. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkbelle87 Posted September 7, 2021 #65 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Celebrity has a 15 night Panama Canal cruise that departs San Diego on 10/27.

Same for passengers. It's a big ship with plenty of places to quarantine, especially if it's less than 1/2 empty. I know right. I mean they supposedly have enhanced medical facilities now. I have always thought all these ships today have lots of excuses about their medical facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should be vaccinated. If someone comes down with covid, there's a 99.999% they will recover. Just isolate them on the ship. If you worry about a pandemic and its affects on you, just don't cruise. If you have medical issues, don't cruise. If you are afraid of your shadow, stay home. This seems to be all "much ado about nothing." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted September 8, 2021 #73 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hey, as long as the Harmony gets to PC for my mid-January cruise and I can get to Antigua. I'm not concerned if Euros and POMEs can't sail over on the briny with the ship. Nor am I concerned that I can't see London, can't see France, can't see Italy's underpants.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
