I feel good about my April cruise. I believe we will have a vaccine by then. I hope that Disney makes everyone's dream come true!

I would like that too. Since you can’t force people to have vaccines for medical or religious reasons that won’t happen. And if it was only those people we had to be concerned about I think we all feel fine about that. But it’s all the people who think it’s “unnecessary” creating too large of a population of people without the vaccine that make it dangerous for those that can’t have it medically.I feel good about my April cruise. I believe we will have a vaccine by then. I hope that Disney makes sure that guests on the cruise have had the vaccine.
I agree with you. Also, those multiple days at castaway cay tend to come at a higher price given the popularity; hence, allowing DCL to rake in higher margins.We rescheduled for April 2021, and I'm not nearly as optimistic as others. I'm hopeful, but if I had to wager, I'd put the odds at 2-1 in favor of not going.
That being said, when they do resume, I do agree that Disney will be trying to maximize the use of Castaway Cay instead of sea days. It's not to sanitize the ship, though. It's to promote social distancing, because there's more space for people to spread out on the beach instead on board the ship.
I hadn’t seen this so thank you for posting! I’m with you I’ll take any good news these days...so hope there won’t be a second wave and we’ll all be back to cruising soonFor those of you needing a little shot of more optimism, here is a basis for more hope for good cruising next year:
In this article, Dr María Neira, the WHO Director for Public Health, says their models are showing a second wave being increasingly less likely. She says caution is required, but thinks that the virus will have a hard time surviving.
The article is in Spanish, so you may need to use Google Translate or the like.
Again, she urges caution, and she seems to contradict others in WHO who think a second waive is likely, but she isn't alone. Several mathematicians, and scientist in other fields, are making similar predictions. One Singapore model shows the virus ending this November (in the U.S. - earlier in other areas) and not coming back.
Of course, nobody knows for sure, but I will take all the optimism I can for now. Here is to a possible cruise (or two if we are lucky) without the rona!
Not sure who your airline is, but Delta recently loosened up their eVoucher use time period:At this moment, I feel like the airline rebooking restrictions are more of a burden than booking a cruise. At last a cruise you can cancel. We had booked this summer cruise to Alaska (which is obviously a no-go), and had airfare booked. We need to use the airfare 2 years from the booking date, which puts us at late 2021. We are debating trying to rebook the cruise for summer 2021 or just take a tradition vacation with the airfare credits. If it weren’t for the airfare, we’d probably push the cruise to summer 2022. With our work schedules, summer is the only travel option, which further narrows things for us.
I booked us on the 8 night Greek isles out of Rome June 19, 2021...while I’m super excited for this cruise I’m also very worried and wondering if I should even get my hopes up. I’m worried about a second wave in the fall/winter where we have to go through this all over again and our cruise gets canceled. I’m worried about what cruises will actually be like also. This will be our 4th Disney Cruise and we LOVE the shows. Will there even be shows since it’s so many people in one room? Will masks be required? Will we be able to meet characters and take pictures with them? I know no one knows the answers to these questions but it’s just constantly on my mind. I just can’t seem to get excited and really look forward to this bc I’m so worried about the what if’s. It almost makes me think about just canceling and rebooking for Europe 2022 when they become available.
If you‘re booked in 2021 how are you feeling about your cruise?
