7 Reasons You Should Forget 2021 Cruises And Plan 2022
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator argues that travelers should prioritize booking cruises for 2022 rather than committing to 2021 itineraries. A primary reason provided is that cruise lines themselves are recommending later bookings because they have more certainty regarding their ability to operate scheduled voyages. The video notes that many 2021 sailings face uncertainty due to varying international regulations, potential fleet staggering, and the lack of clear restart dates in major markets like the UK, US, and Spain. Additionally, the creator suggests that waiting until 2022 may allow for the lifting of various health protocols, such as mandatory masking, testing, and social distancing, which many travelers find objectionable. The discussion also covers the risk of cruises being curtailed due to suspected outbreaks and the CDC restrictions on longer cruises in the United States. Finally, the creator highlights that booking further out allows travelers to utilize future cruise credits more effectively and take advantage of wave season promotions and incentives offered by cruise lines for 2022 and 2023 departures.
