YOU GOTTA DO WHATS BEST FOR YOU...

Look, it could be worse...folks plan for years to go to the OLYMPICS....(not even talking about the athletes themselves)....go ahead, violate the Chinese protocalls...you'll never be heard from again......

Yep .. just got to keep paddling .. cruise ship has to pick you up at some point ...

Sort of like a Maple Leaf fan ...

We are not letting this get us down and have done everything we can to keep healthy. Both of us have Two shots and a Booster including Shingles update. Ready to cruise.

It was actually in a review, I believe on that other board that shall not be named. Sorry.

Well as usual AB, the glitch monster is still alive....ate my first response...so I'll try again...we're about 103 days from our next one after the one we just cancelled...with another line...and its about 40 days or so after yours...and, like you, hoping that by then (which in truth isn't that far away), the thing might show signs of waning...who knows??

AND, OGW, where did you see that letter from NCL about BREAKAWAY re cancelled venues?? love to read it....

For those who are "up in the air", here is an article that attempts to offer some advice related to the question of cancelling.

As for us, my wife and I discussed our 3/6 cruise and decided the only way we will not go is if CCL cancels the sailing. We based our decision on what we read about the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly. So fast in fact that some "experts" think it could peak and start to burn out by the end of this month, or shortly thereafter. If that holds, then we will be sailing about 4-5 weeks after the peak, and we are thinking (that is, hoping) things will start to settle down by then. Sure, tighter restrictions may still be in place, but the odds of getting infected should be reduced. We've all been vaccinated and boosted and otherwise in good health, so we're not worried about a severe infection. However, if it did occur, I am concerned about being quarantined in our cabin. So I'm considering an upgrade to a suite for more space....... just in case.

My family and I are debating that as well. We're waiting until the end of the week to see if Royal will cancel our cruise. If they do, we get 125% back, which we will apply to our April cruise. If not, then we will cancel and get 100% of our money back, which again, we will apply to our next cruise.

I enjoyed those daily updates. But we rarely get the Wi-Fi package, so too hard for me to do. Hope you are able to do them!

Well, we are scheduled on the Caribbean Princess for a b2b on 9 Jan. If we pass our Covid test AND Princess doesn’t cancel, we are still going. May be a real adventure for sure depending on ports and staffing, but we are willing to try at this point. Five cruises have been cancelled for us in the past two years, so I’m hopeful this will be a go. Per a request by @RetiredRay, I will post updates on the Shipmate app if we do sail.

We are cancelling too. It is not the covid I am afraid of it is all the other nonsense. .Those ships that are currently sailing are doing so with less and less crew. Saw a letter from NCL for Breakaway on current cruise that most of the shows are cancelled and many of the dining venues closed. Add to that the uncertainty of ports being open and accepting passengers and you could end up on a 10 day cruise to nowhere but on a ship with nothing to do. And if you do test positive does not matter whether you have suite or balcony you are designated to an outside window cabin on a lower deck.

And of course there are the worries about getting home once the cruise is over .....

Welcome to twenty twenty too.

This is our 3rd try on |Gem for this itinerary and each time was a late cancel due to unforeseen issues.
