Wise to book cruises for 2022?

I bet prices will be very reasonable especially at first, to tempt people into booking again. You might be able to nab a bargain if you book early! And with COVID cover, why not? It’s a win-win.

The anticipation of a longed for holiday (psychologists tell us that’s the best part for MH) and a money back guarantee should events prove unsafe to go.

We probably will be going to do this.
Alaska most likely, love cruising and if you’ve never done it don’t knock it.
My favourite was probably the Baltic, and visiting St.Petersburg, never thought I’d get to see the Hermitage and so much of it’s content never mind the amazing sights of that city.

Interesting that Saga have announced that all cruise passengers will be required to have been vaccinated. Also a negative Covid test.
Not sure how people can give proof of vaccination ?
No mention of crew either as they aren't likely to have been vaccinated by July when cruises are planned to begin, (at the moment.)

Willow, I think planning ahead in these difficult times, is something positive and uplifting to plan and look forward to. It was dreadful those people stuck on a cruise ship, but you can't stop doing things you love because of that. I am already looking to see where I would like to go, I love cruises, if anything this lockdown has made me embrace life more than ever, in an instant things can change for any one of us. I will wait until I have my vaccine and see how the countries I want to visit have coped and if the go ahead is given to visit those countries I will book up. Probably this year it will be the UK. One thing for sure holiday prices will shoot through the roof and insurance.

I ve never fancied a cruise holiday and after seeing those poor people stuck on the cruise for weeks and weeks right at the beginning of last years lockdown I would think ‘22 is very early to get over this hoo ha but as I said I m not a cruiser

I think I would be cautious about booking a cruise having seen how quickly viruses, infections and bugs are spread on board a ship. Years ago I went in a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska and despite being asked to use hand sanitiser every time we went into the dining room, a stomach bug went rampant among some passengers. Luckily I was not affected but some passengers were confined to their cabins for most of the seven day cruise.

Totally agree Whitewave. Something to look forward to.

I think it is good to dream and plan. It lifts your spirits and helps you look forward to better times.

I'm sure it would be a marvellous holiday

I had a brochure through the post today from Fred Olsen advertising a cruise for next January around South America. It lasts for 79 nights!!! Costs a small fortune!

I don't see the problem with booking any holiday as long as it has Covid cover. If it's safe to go then you can go and if it's not then you get a refund.

I'm not in a hurry to go on a cruise, just thought it would start a good discussion. Obviously I was wrong.

Why can't you wait to see " how the land lies " first ? Why the hurry ? These cruises will still be ongoing years hence.

I would Willow73,but i would ask if the cruise can`t go ahead if covid is still around would i get a full refund.
If the answer is no,then i wouldn`t.
