We are veteran cruisers, but even before COVID, cruising is not what it used to be. The things that made it special, the benefits to frequent cruisers, have been slowly chipped away at by all the lines, unless you are spending huge bucks for suites etc. Now with distancing stuff? No thanks. I don't know if we're going back anyway. What made it special and a bit elegant has now changed to floating essentially with Walmart types, and with worse food. It's Southwest Airlines passengers in swimming suits (even in the dining rooms). No thanks. our vacay money is going elsewhere. All inclusives frankly can be a better value. We went to one last fall in Mexico and it was better than a cruise
