Anyone think Europe will open to American Cruisers in '21?

Despite improving vaccine situation, not seeing signs of cruise opportunities improving this summer. Anyone else share the pessimism?

I don't think it would happen but I am excited to see some development. I hope everything gets better soon.

This brings to mind two sayings: "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely". & "Follow the money". Both fit the situation.

From your lips to God's ears...but I just don't share your optimism....I can't fully explain it or understand it either, but I think ABLEMAN is right...there's "other agendas" driving all this..I've tried to logic my way thru it, and all it does is make my eyeballs cross.....all kinds of dynamics involved....and us mere cruise addicts aren't involved.....

Things keep changing. Hopefully, we will be able to put this pandemic in our rear view mirror soon.

Do not see it happening. Too soon. The world is still chaotic.

Cyprus also open to American cruisers. So some opportunity in the eastern Med.

Celebrity is offering new sailings from Greece on Apex late summer/fall '21. Greece opening to Americans. Passengers must be vaccinated and have the test prior to entering country. The line is pushing combining air through them (not new), but price is pretty good. Cruise line will arrange fly home tests on the ship prior to disembarkation. We'll see if it happens.

Even if the USA hits 70% vaccinated the rest of the globe will not. As the vaccine is not 100% that you will not get ill, it will still not be safe to go to non vaccinated countries.

Some countries in Europe have announced new lock downs this week. Canada is not doing well with the vaccination, they are going 4 months between injection one and two, I heard that from a Canadian YouTube that I watch. When I got my First Vaccine they gave me the return appointment in 3 weeks for number two

In Los Angeles County we have higher demand for vaccine then we have supplies. My neighbor put her name on a list a month ago and still did not get her appointment with CVS. I got her into my medical provider without having to use the website reservation, when I called for my appointment they let me take her with me for an appointment at the same time.

Maybe 2022 will open up more international travel. I know I'll be staying closer to home in 2021.

Can’t put a thumbs up on this. So...,Crying

France just announced closure again.
