I accept putting cruises on hold pending a decision is a sound business move. BUT.... Looking at marinetraffic INFINITY HAS JUST SAILED FOR LAS PALMAS!!! That is curious, if bunkered in Piraeus which presumably is why she sailed there from Italy, don't see why this destination - unless they are parting with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the difference between us taking a sailing on 5/5/2022 or just having a 17 day vacation in Italy or the South of France. At this point I'm leaning to just a vacation. I thought that final payments were recently moved to 60 days, although maybe that doesn't apply to the Spring/Summer schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it be that Infinity is sailing this year or not. All this speculation is being fuelled by some travel agents either being very well informed or having inside information Celebrity will not make public just yet. This is not helped by some sailings being taken off sale. We all like to hypothesise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your viewpoint do you see any challenges this late Spring/Early Summer for U.S. citizens going on multiple Country ports in the Europe? Travel within Europe is pretty much back to normal. You will need proof of vaccination and booster if your second jab is more than 6m old in some countries to access tourist attractions, restaurants etc especially in Italy. I would advise using an EU approved app. We use “Tous Anti Covid” as we’re French residents. It is also in English. It recognised most vax and test QR codes. Most of the Med counties are currently requiring passenger locator forms, which is a pain. Italy will only allow cruise passengers to visit on ships excursions. Some cruise lines have their own specific rules on excursions. Omicron is on the decline in the U.K. most covid restrictions have been removed. Europe is a few weeks behind the curve. We’re pretty confident spring and summer will be fine. We have two cruises booked in May and two land road trips in February. Travel within the EU is no problem at all. Even the spat between the U.K. and France seems to have ended! Lol. Hope this helps. But don’t forget….things can change very quickly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve recently visited Spain, Italy, Greece, U.K. and Croatia. My response was based on experience in these countries. All by ship and Spain and Italy also by car and all in the last 6/8weeks. We will be back in Spain again next week so I like to think we’ve a pretty good handle on the situation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a b2b2b cruises totally 31 days (on an old Carnival ship) starting in middle May in Barcelona and ending in Dover. All the basics have been booked but I hesitate to start planning any touring especially since we prefer to do our own thing rather than ships tours and it may be too early to know what port restrictions for cruise passengers will be, if any. What is nice is that there's not one repeat port of call so there will be tons of sightseeing. Edited January 19, 2022 by kwokpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon me for chiming in, but as an American vacationing in Italy right now, I’d like to respond too. Airlines, hotels, trains, some attractions and some restaurants ask to see our vaccination cards….it’s very quick and easily done. Otherwise, travel is very normal and routine. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to hear this, thank you! My husband and I are currently planning a delayed Covid honeymoon in Italy for one month in mid June to mid July. We have everything booked as refundable, 10 days Rome, 10 days Florence/Tuscany and 10 days Venice and surrounds. Love hearing how good this is for you. Def hope it stays the same for June! Enjoy your vacation!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
