We took the cruise in February on Viking Jupiter. Some beautiful scenery. Try to take a side trip from Buenos Aries to Iguazu Falls. Spectacular. Be careful if you go to the La Boca area of Buenos Aries. (suggest you go on a tour, not alone). Don't even try to get Argentine Pesos. You can't get them in US and the Argentines are very happy to have $'s anywhere. Enjoy.

CRUISE NO Fly if I have to.........

[eagle77]

I didn’t see that as an argument. Relax

[Joe C.]

Fly? Of course. Take a cruise? Sure. I did a 2 week cruise out of Buenos Aires last February, and a Caribbean cruise in March. Had no problems on either one.

Flu shot? Never had one.

Am I worried about this pandemic? Not really. But I do take normal precautions.

Remember.....the media always sensationalizes everything.

Actually it did start with the "Spanish Fly"

I’m not into cruising but I’ll fly as soon as places are open.

Booked on EU River Cruise (180 Passengers / Crew) and will fly there as well as a number of domestic and other international flights. Enhanced sanitation and HEPA filters on airplanes will certainly mitigate risks. Never been on a big cruise ship, probably won't. COVID 19 is not the reason .. just not interested.
Will take appropriate gear, medications and will follow recommended protocols.

Both, we may do after the vaccine is available. We have a Cruise setup in 2021, but no flights yet. I did contact our travel person and talked with him about the trip. We decided to wait and watch.
For the summer and if RV Campgrounds open up, we will travel that way to visit the grand kids.

Dan48 is right on re cruising....it ain't what it used to be!

I felt like cattle on the last cruise we took a year ago. They have stream lined and made fruit sections out of the ship. We won’t go again. That was our 8th Cruise in our life.

Actually we are thinking " Once not Twice " plan on being in England over Christmas and News Years Eve.

Taking the train from London to Edinburgh Scotland, for News Years Eve .

I ( we ) are optimistic that the virus will be over by September.

Can't wait to cruise again. Yes we always in a balcony cabin. Got off last RCL cruise 3/15 and there was no more cruising from that day forward. However, on that particular 7 day cruise, the daily/hourly cleaning, disinfecting, general concern for passengers and crew was amazing. As we disembarked, our room steward was in the next cabin from ours completely disinfecting room, including taking mattresses off beds and scrubbing the springs. It was amazing.

I think the best time to cruise would be right after we're out of quarantine since everyone has been inside and not sick.. there won't be many people on the ship and good deals to be had... hmmmm

Will never cruise any time in the next year

[airstreamingypsy]

I have never wanted to take a cruise, spending days in a floating petrie dish has never appealed to me. I do hope to fly again though.
