I've just been looking to see how the voting is going and have to say that I am very surprised to discover that 14 out of 17 Members hope to be cruising by next Summer. I wish you well on those journeys and look forward to reading your Cruise Reports ... how different they could prove to be.
I ticked maybe because although booked, I’d be just as content to cancel if necessary.
Insurance cover will be a factor plus how much the destinations are open.
I don’t know Barney...but I would have thought cruise providers will have to reduce prices initially as its going to be quite a competitive market out there…if this is the case then insurance premiums would I imagine be offset by theses reductions?
Not so much as about the cost of premiums at my age Keefy.
It's cheap as chips for us, with no medical conditions.
It's more about the level of cover.
I think that quite a few of the over zealous may be caught out by booking now for this summer abroad.
I don't know if policies are covering Covid as standard but it could work out an expensive trip if, for instance, you find yourself on a Greek island that needs to go into lockdown.
A week could easily turn into two or three and then you may have to isolate when you get back.
As for the cruise price, well, if they reduce the prices and we decide to travel, we may have to cancel, lose the deposit and rebook.
We've done that before but generally these days, the early price seems to be the best.
We got two weeks, balcony , end June into July in the Med for £1,329 pp. early booking.
I paid more than that ten years ago.
Empty vessels .. and all that
