Introduction
We’re going on another cruise! (“But, you just cruised last month!”) We have a lot of cruise credit from pandemic cancellations and Roger has a bunch of “use it or lose it” vacation time banked up. So off we go again.
When summer 2022 booking originally came out, we felt like the world would hopefully be back to normal and we booked Greece again for 2022 (for the third time after 2020 and 2021 cancellations). But just in case, we also booked a Fantasy 9-night Southern Caribbean. We really like the Southern itineraries and we figured this would be a good use of our credit if we didn’t feel like we were ready for international travel.
As the date drew near for us to start making plans, it became pretty clear that while DCL wasn’t going to cancel the European itineraries, we didn’t feel ready to travel to Europe. We didn’t want to potentially travel all the way to Europe only to test positive and not be able to get on the ship. That’s a long flight to possibly not sail and then quarantine in Europe. At least sailing out of Florida, it would be cheaper and less stressful to navigate Covid domestically. At the worst, we could rent a car and get ourselves home. So we canceled Greece for the third time.
It’s all good. We were more than happy with this backup plan. We had done two Southerns previously and loved them and this looked like a great itinerary on a ship we had never been on before.
The cast of characters:
Summer - that’s me!
Roger - my husband
Emmaline - my daughter, just turned 14
Off we go!
