Yes. Might be choosier about which cruise line, we have cruised with several and might stick with the smaller ships in the future.

Now with E. Coli, rotavirus, salmonella outbreaks and now people dying like flies during the COVID pandemic and ships not even allowed to come to port, I will probably not think of a cruise anytime. I should have done Alaska cruise in the past. That is the only one I really care about to see.

Did it in 2017. Highly recommended. Enjoyed it a whole lot more than the western Caribbean cruise I just did in December.

In the past 4 years have taken 5 cruises and loved them! I don't see us taking one now. Being quarantined on a ship in your room would be horrible.

Noooooo .... I thought health wise things were sloppy and bad prior to the virus ...now they show they are way worse , plus all the lies came to light as far as the cruise lines saying things are safe when they are not

Just had my upcoming Fall cruise cancelled.

Now we're booking one for Feb 2021 and another for Fall 2021.

My 2020 vacation as of today is still booked... 10 night Hawaii out of Vancouver on Ovation of the Seas on Sept 17th. If it is cancelled we may fly there instead and do another cruise in 2021. Or do something else like driving to the Grand Canyon. Right now Royal is offering cancellations up till Sept 1st. No plans to cancel though but with the whole cruise ships barred from visiting Canada thing going on I'm not expecting our cruise to happen. Nothing I'm losing sleep over either way.

On a side note.. I grabbed a bunch of Royal stock a few weeks ago at the 52 week low right after everything tanked... if everything rebounds in the next year or two I'll make enough to go on a dozen cruises.
NICE, I didn't think of buying some cruise stock!

Never did and not likely to. Considered maybe a river or small ship cruise. Probably stick with ferry boats.

No probably not. First of all I get sea sick and the one and only time we've been on a cruise I needed dramamine the entire time and even then I didn't feel great.

Secondly after watching cruise ship after cruise ship have people get sick and then find no where to go for port, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'll stick to dry land for my vacations

I've been on many cruises. My June cruise was cancelled but I'm booked for a European cruise in 2021.

I havent done one before but was planning one for this year. After the dust settles, I think cruise ship service will get better to try and draw people back in and I would never ever consider getting a room that didnt have a balcony. If i ever needed to be sequestered i will need a balcony.
