The cancellation of my Italy/Greece trip this year broke my heart. The trip of a lifetime for me and my first trip overseas. In fact, I would be in Santorini right now. But this pandemic happened. And alot of people have died, in a very short period of time. It has been bad, really bad, for the elderly and those with some sort of co-morbidity. It makes me very sad. I lost my own father in April. Not to the virus. But I could not see him the month previous to his passing. No funeral. That too has broken my heart. We are booked for the similar trip next year. Not canceling now. I have until February to assess and PIF. If I am not comfortable I will cancel then. Most likely, I will go if they go. Life is too short. I want to continue to live my life the best way I can. Cautiously but purposefully moving forward. Will DCL sail next year? I think by the end of this year we will see cruising return. The economy of this whole world depends on travel slowly but surely returning. I think everyone has a comfort level and while things open, as they should, and we need to be kind and respectful to each other. Those who want should wait, and those ready to proceed should carry on.
