So Many Changes!

Summer 2022- So Many Changes! For a while there we could not keep up with ports that were open or closed, or which ships were on the CDC orange list...or how many passengers and crew were being quarantined. We still see many complaints from passengers on cruise line fan blog sites about ruined vacations and quarantines. Yet 90-95% of passengers are healthy and experience a good cruise from what we know. The biggest problem we see now is the cancellation of flights going to embarkation ports, and the airlines are doing their best with limited flight crews, ground crews, and gate personnel. Cruise lines are also suffering from crew shortages, so my recommendation is to be kind and deal with it. It will take perhaps years to get back to normal, with consistently good service in our favorite cruise line. Lower your expectations, be kind and grateful for hard working crews, or honestly, don't cruise now. Here we will try to summarize our observations as we see them in travel industry news, in the hopes that travel in all forms will get better. We are all suffering from the past 3 years of pandemic.
