Thanks. There were some great comments here, that really got me thinking, even if I have a tendency to dig into my position and be a bit obnoxious.i was enjoying the discussion, or more specifically, the legal concept of fraud.
The RCL rolling cancellation idea of 90 days based on time needed to be sail ready was one question I had in regards to Disney. If you know you can’t be ready, quit selling. I am assuming this is, in actuality, what RCL is doing.
I also thought they would need to sell with a reduced vacancy, as cruises out of Singapore, and soon Israel, are reported as doing. Wonder if DCL is stopping booking at 50% occupancy?
... The more times I read Chapek’s statement, the more I think they have no expectation to sail this fall, either. Just stringing us along. My gut feeling is no DCL vacation in 2021.
If I had not paid with gift cards and had no one else involved (family members), I would say punt the OBB discount and the 125% FCC and get our money back now. Then reconsider cruising in several years. I’ve got 17 DCL cruises under my belt; I could be done.
... well, if Lighthouse Point gets developed, I would certainly like to go.
17? Wow, that is impressive. It's my favorite vacation by far. Does it ever lose its charm? I personally took one, loved it so much, but then my wife got sick for about four years and we couldn't go back. Never thought I would, and I was devastated. But she recovered and we finally went back in 2019. Had DCL Greece booked in 2020 and DCL Caribbean this week. So, I am back to waiting! I am a pro at it now. The universe likes to just give me a taste and then take it away.
Hopefully Disney was being ultra conservative, and if things really improve they will slip in some limited cruising this summer and full cruising in the fall. But who knows - his comments sure weren't encouraging.
