Does it make sense to book a cruise now?
In this episode of the podcast we ask, and attempt to answer the question “Should you book a cruise right now?” We’re 6 months into a global health crisis and we think it’s a good time to ask this question.
Food for thought:
- Do you have a future cruise credit that expires?
- Are you flexible about the ports you’ll visit?
- Are you willing to cruise with added rules and restrictions? Dining changes, masks, not being able to choose your seat in the venue.
- Will your employer require you to self quarantine?
- Are you at high risk for COVID?
- How will you feel about your cruise being cancelled, especially if a refund is delayed?
Why you SHOULD book a cruise now … maybe?
3 things to consider…
- At first, there will be DEALS.
- Cruising will be safer and cleaner than EVER. Air filtration, buffet changes, reduced capacity, increased sanitation and hand washing.
- Cancellation policies have never been better.
Final ruling- if you’re hesitant, don’t book. You can always book later. Deals will always be there.

Hi Sheri, this is Farren from Miami! I took my in-laws on a quick 3 night cruise on the NCL Getaway. I was lying in bed watching the cabin TV and all of sudden I see Sheri from my favorite podcast on the web. I yelled to my wife there is Sheri…. She said who the heck is Sheri! :) It seems like NCL uses your face on various marketing on the ship….. To say the least I was very happy to see you…. As always you and your family are just a delight…… Keep up the amazing work….. Miami loves CruiseTipsTV Farren from Miami!
