Yeah, I also read the interview from the doctor saying cruises can have a spread rate of a nursing home. I am NOT a big covid worry wart. I am A-OK on state reopening, going out to eat, doing things safe, etc. However, I have been thinking of my past disney cruises and how on earth they can distance us. I look at the rules for WDW then look at NCL and think to myself "there is no WAY disney can tell resort and park guests to wear a masks and cruises not to! or limit experiences, characters, parties, while the cruise can go on as normal..........I don't think so. Everything that a
disney cruise is from the plot driven shows, new movies, characters, food, unique parties, and kids clubs I do not see how Disney can sail with just "we will clean better and take temps". I just don't see it. I am going with a group and I don't want to go also knowing they will split our group of 15 up probably.
Even if they do sail, I am very worried if ONE person comes down with something or a fever........my child got sick one night on DCL. A few other kids did too. It was a small bug. If ONE person comes down with something I don't want to imagine being stuck in our cabins or bobbing at sea while we find a port to get off at. Also my work didn't sound too thrilled I may have to stay and work at home for two weeks when i return. School starts and rules are not 100% set in stone for fall 2020, but they made it sound like kids who leave the country have to stay home for two weeks and do virtual school.
Disney has given no communication on late summer sailing. I don't need a return to sail date even, just a "this is how it will probably work" conditions. We know the current ones they have posted probably will not fly. They had those up and the CDC still closed it. I have done DCL before, it will be there after the vaccine. I went ahead and booked September 2021. I know I can sit and pray they cancel for the 125% FCC and also keep my PC and OBC; at this point, my husband and I don't care. Our ADRs at WDW are gone, our Halloween party pre cruise at WDW will be very limited. All of this is too much money for the worrying and stress. We found a beach condo place, they only have seven units left. We are canceling our whole disney vacation and moving to that. I hate it, I always do disney once a year in some form. I just can't justify the costs with unknowns or the risks. I feel bad because I am one of the facebook admins and FE organizer for my facebook sailing group. I will stick with them and help organize. It just stinks.
But I have to do what is best for my family.
