Alakegirl Posted September 14, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2021 So just the TA’s are cancelled but Silly will still be in the Caribbean? Is this to get around some sort of quarantine issues? confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cg52 Posted September 14, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Does this mean that the winter Caribbean cruises will be cancelled or will it sail across without passengers and resume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted September 14, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2021 No reason to bring Infinity back given already announced 2022 deployment, so no surprise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll sail without passengers and quarantine for a total of 14 days, including the crossing. Then commence the winter Caribbean season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several ships including other cruise lines that are supposed to carry passengers during the TA. None of them are currently scheduled to park for 14 days.

Rare Ken the cruiser Posted September 14, 2021 #10 Share Posted September 14, 2021 We're on the Apex Nov 4th Caribbean cruise and was wondering if the Apex was going to sail with no passengers on their upcoming TA as part of the 14 day quarantine process.

Think that’s the whole reason for canceling the TA - “quarantine” for the 14 days - whether they sail across the Atlantic or do it around closer waters works out to be the same.

Silhouette still on sale in the UK. Whilst on Silhouette in August the Head of Security told me they would be sailing empty. This was denied by the Future Cruise office but it looks as if he might have been right all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different lines seem to be doing a numbers of different things. The current situation where, in some ports, Celebrity passengers have to take a ship excursion while passengers from other lines are free to do what they want in port is a good example. Maybe we will need to add the handling of TAs to the list of different protocols. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re booked on that TA, and still have some doubts that it will sail with passengers. However, it appears Celebrity has just spent a good deal of time lining up shore excursions for Gran Canaria that was just announced last Friday as a replacement for Madeira, Portugal. In addition to the changes to the itinerary, they also announced late Friday that we can only go ashore on a ship excursion. As I said, I still question if Apex will sail with passengers, but if not, why go to so much trouble to line up excursions at a new port. Plus there will be hundreds of additional refunds for excursions just booked and paid for since last Friday. Many, like us, had booked private tours or planned a DIY walk or beach stop and have been scurrying to line up something. We shall see. I won’t be surprised either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to check Reflection schedule or a a ship tracker..a bit rusty with these tools having no need for over a year. Maybe someone with a Nov Ref cruise knows?

I suspect they will be cancelling the short 3-day cruise that was to precede the TA, so that would give them the time they need to go straight into your cruise.

No need for a TA. Thanks very much.. The cruise mapper site showed her elsewhere, I think. I see several cruises slated for Nov and Dec for Ref..so we will learn more before our Jan cruise.. BUT final payment is due soon. My apologies for being a bit off topic as thread is for 2 other ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
