Foreign Office Advisory - will it ever change??

[JohnR, Chippenham]

Just received notification that Jet2 have suspended all flights / holidays until 26 March. We were due to fly to Cyprus on 24th. At least the decision has now been taken out of our hands.

A blessing in disguise?

I received 2 cancellation emails yesterday afternoon, first from Celebrity cancelling our sailing on Apex 27 May out of Barcelona. Second was from my travel agent cancelling Edge sailing on 4 June (this was a small future cruise deposit paid onboard in 2019 which we had intended moving anyway).

I honestly don’t expect us to be able to cruise this year however much I wish it were otherwise. We will be very lucky to be able to go on a land based holiday towards the autumn. Our daughter and her husband (and now their son) haven’t had a holiday for a couple of years owing to a number of factors including Covid. Goodness knows when we will be able to take going on a holiday for granted again.

Take care and stay well. Helen

Probably influenced by recently reading literature set in the 1950s and biographies from the same era, I have been thinking along similar lines especially with respect to trips overseas.

I suspect life may be at a slower pace for a couple of years.

Que sera sera

Thanks for keeping us posted Annie. As you know, I’m an RCI fan. More disappointing news but not unexpected.

Wow!

That ties in with Donald of Carnival Group's comments from last week.

Maybe we should run another book - in which month will the 1st cruise ship depart from SOTON in 2021.

Just rechecked it and it might still be over 100

This is actually most UK ports, April to June.



Southampton
Dover
Greenock
Harwich
London
London (Tower Bridge)
Rosyth, Scotland
Liverpool

It is a bookmark search to try to keep it compatible.

more forward looking
117 April-June
176 July-Sep
100 Oct -Dec

Checked now can ignore that 51 count the search was not doing 3 months just 1 even though it had 3 in the filters
need to be more careful for next update.
