Cruising Post COVID

Like everyone else, I am also curious what cruising will look like post COVID-19. I know that the first cruise out, on any given ship, everything will be spotless and the ship will be the cleanest it has been since it was christened.

The big question will be...How will they keep it clean during one of the clothing optional cruises ??

I am pretty sure that as long as someone lays down the cash the cruise line will happily take it and skirt the B2B question by calling it 2 separate cruises ... which they actually do at this point. They will just be more adamant about it. Just to dot the Is and cross the ts they may have you disembark and then re-board.

I hope it would be acceptable. We just had our first B2B in January and our next Carnival sailing(s) in 2022 is also a B2B. The October sailing on the Breeze would have also been a B2B. But only time will be the real answer. Here's hoping!!!!!

A couple of lines noted they will adopt reduced capacity and number of days within an itinerary. Seeing 3-7 day cruise lengths. What if someone wants a B2B, do you think the lines would allow under the reduced cruise length?

That is a good question and a prime concern I am sure.

My concern is the potential of an onboard quarantine. Has anybody seen their plans to handle the situation when someone has flu-like symptoms? Or comes down with any variety of cold or flu virus?

Good idea if that's the plan.

Badly....until theres a vaccine...and I can't imagine inoculating BILLIONS of peeps.The flu vaccine we take for granted is only about 50% effective, and you have to get the shot annually, if you even bother.. and we take that so for granted nobody pays much attention to the death rate for THAT anymore...

What is post-COVID? COVID - SARS viruses never go away. All the SARs #19 and below are still out there. So C19 is here forever. Perhaps the question is, how do we live with it.
