I think there will be people that will think twice about flying and especially cruising, after this pandemic.

We will have to fly after covid-19, but cruising--no.

[Kenswing]

Since our next cruise departs from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I guess we'll be doing both..

[skyking]

Fly? Yes. Cruise? No. I don't want to risk being quarantined for weeks in a cabin

[Bjeanj]

Nope.

[champion6]

Both, maybe after the vaccine is available.

[manaboutown]

Fly only when necessary. Cruise, no.

[davem4616]

We're thinking that we'll drive around the USA on vacation escapes for the next couple of years.

we've always cruised on the very small ships...never want to be on a ship with 2-4 thousand..no more than 325 people on the ships we sail

we've cruised just about everywhere that we wanted to....so not sure if our cruising days are over....have one river cruise still on the books though....

flying....at some point, but after there's a vaccine

[patfla06]

Neither one.

All I want is to be able to see our 2nd granddaughter be born this June. ( thankfully driving and NOT stopping).

[Chi-Town]

Fly for sure. Cruise might be a while

[BS Beef]

Booked for both. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Alaska cruise will still be cancelled. But if it is not we will have no reservations (haha, I just reread this....that bad pun was unintentional).

You have to be smart but have to live life otherwise what’s the point?

Never been on a cruise, never will, even before Covid 19. Not flying, that’s a very big problem. We don’t want to fly anytime soon in an effort to stay safe, but we need to be able to fly. If we can’t fly, how will we be able to enjoy and care for our home in The Villages? Responsibilities make it impossible for us to spend extended periods of time in the Villages, but being able to frequently fly back and forth allows us to enjoy and care for both our homes. We drive once or twice a year, but it’s a very long trip (1,375 miles each way), and we can’t keep making this long drive as we grow older. Bottom line, if we can’t safely fly, we can’t own two homes that far apart and will have to sell our home in The Villages. I am sure we are not the only ones facing this delima. Also, many prospective home buyers who can’t fly will very quickly cross the Villages off their list. Let’s hope, if for nothing else besides the values of our Villages homes, that air travel will eventually become safe again.

Cruising again after we get our Covid-19 shots.
Resume RV travel later this year.
Flying? No place I need to be that quickly anymore (determined long before Covid-19).

[kaydee]

We definitely will cruise again... not sure when but hopefully in a few months.

We have cruised over 30 times and future cruises are unlikely.
Aside from the Chinese Virus threat (which will end), the quality of cruising has steadily declined over the last 20 years as cruise lines follow the "airline model" for pricing and quality. My complaints:
--Lower quality in Dining Rooms pushes people to over-priced Specialty Restaurants to obtain the food quality formerly in included dining
--Understaffed bar areas
--Low quaity entertainment frequently using the same ensemble entertainers
--Shore excursions priced at 200% of the going rate
--Frequent long lines for many services
--Relentless push to sell Spa treatments, photos, etc.
--Combining Cruise Director and Entertainer positions
--And, so on.

We find we can travel independently for 50% as much at a higher overall quality level.
As for flying-yes, but not right away. And, mainly to visit our family.
For the next year or two, we will focus on the U.S. and keep the money at home!!
