CCL will probably follow suit soon. Probably just as well. I'm sure none of the lines want to take the chance of having one of their ships dubbed the "SS Omicron" in the press.

Your images cannot be seen (at least not by me, the image link says they're are coming from a GMail account). You'll need to physically save the image to your hard drive and then insert it. Or save it to the cloud and link from there.

Curious to what images you were sharing...

I think the US needs a change is process from Pandemic (we are not going to stop this for now) to Endemic (deal with it and quick changing the rules).

The travel insurance. Health and medical coverage. I have to look a little more closely at the policy. But then there is also the risk of not being allowed back into Canada. I am all for precautions but |I think they are currently over reacting to this latest variant.

Possibly not. If we loose the insurance we could be stuck not being able to get back home.Have to wait and see. With NCL we can cancel up to 2 weeks before the cruise.

OGW..at the risk of being a dummy...exactly what insurance are you worried about?

Will you still go if you lose the coverage?

Canadian gov has issued a travel advisory advising not to travel abroad. Because of that some insurance companies have declared that if you leave the country your policy is void. I am watching and hoping this does not mess up our cruise for the end of January.

I understand why this is happening. I even agree with it (to a point). It's just sad that it appears like we're heading backwards. Hopefully this is only temporary and the restrictions are eased after next month.

Want a glimpse of the cruise lines worst nightmare. It would be seeing something like this in cartoon form on the editorial page of a major news publication.

I'm sorry if you find this insensitive. It's just we all know what happened the last time the media trained their intense spotlights on the cruise industry. They've pretty much left them alone since the restart, but one major outbreak or (God forbid) an emergency evacuation or death due to Covid and...... well, we can just guess where that'll lead.

So OK, if tighter mask policies are still in place when we sail in March........ so be it.

No problem. They've got that covered...............literally.
