Future Vacation Planning in this COVID-19 World. Are you booking anything? (1 Viewer)

We have an Alaskan cruise booked for late July out of Seattle. It was supposed to be our 30th anniversary celebration and was booked prior to this blasted pandemic. We agreed to wait until June before we decided whether to cancel or re-schedule for a future date.

I'm not booking anything new, but I'm just waiting to figure out how much I'm going to lose on cancellations of trips I've already got planned. I've got (currently) non-refundable tickets on Delta in the middle of June to fly to Bozeman for a race outside of Yellowstone/Yellowstone/Tetons/Jackson Hole.
Delta currently has a policy of letting you cancel even non-refundable flights departing from now until the end of May. If they push that back far enough to cover my tickets, I'll cancel right away.
If that doesn't happen and the parks are open and the race happens? No clue what I'll do. I'm from one of the last states to act, so I'm half expecting travel restrictions for the summer anyway.

IDK if you know, but the Canadian gov't has closed its docks to any ship over 500 people until July 1st. I know thats before your cruise, but something to keep an eye on whereas the gov't has more say over your cruise than the cruiseline.
IMO cruises will be the last travel venue that will be fully operational.

After buying a condo in Boise, we put all vacation plans aside and intended on visiting Boise for one week each month and a little longer in July. We laid out the schedule for the whole year. Now it looks like the first chance we can get to go out there, we'll probably stay for a month or two, if not even longer. We'll sell our house in NY even faster than planned and hopefully move there full time by the fall. Permanent vacation!

Yeah, we kinda figure at this point there is about a 2% chance it'll actually happen, but at the speed things have happened, we agreed to wait until June and see what it looks like then. My guess is that we'll re-schedule for next year. Personally, I don't care much for cruises, but my wife loves them and this has been on our bucket list for years. It was this or a trip to Italy.

We have these trips scheduled:
May 16-23: Cabo - haven't cancelled yet but this one isn't likely to happen
The ones below are still scheduled but I honestly have no idea if they're going to happen. I think the October trip is likely to get rescheduled since there are a group of us going and I'm not sure if everyone (or anyone) will feel comfortable going. I told my wife she'll just have to be 49 for another year.
July 25: Green Day at Dodger Stadium
July 29: Kelly Clarkson at Planet Hollywood in Vegas
Aug 14: Lady Gaga at Wrigley Field
Oct 7-18: Wife's birthday trip to Italy

I was suppose to be going to the Cubs/Cardinals game this Friday and then had a bass fishing tourney next weekend but those are canceled. I still have a handful of tourneys scheduled for the rest of summer and fall though. I also have two fishing trips planned, one in May and one in September.

... anyone doing any resorts during covid?
We go every year ... this year we've booked an all inclusive in St.Lucia and wondering how Covid will affect our stay compared to pre-covid.
I assume it would be similar to what we have here ... masks on while moving about and remove once seated.
I doubt the buffet is a thing anymore. Spacing in restaurants, bars ... how does that work at the pool ... or IN the pool?
... or do they give you a covid test at check in and you're free after that? ... or do they check you as you come off the plane?
What's to prevent someone like me bringing covid to this little pimple of an island?

We are trying to get to the Bahamas at some point. We were scheduled to be there this past June...our reservations have to be used by the end of 2021. Right now, to get into the country you have to have a negative covid test within 10 days of travel, plus a letter from your doctor on top of all the other things you normally have to have.

We are doing the Airbnb cabin on a lake thing with our kids. We have one for thanksgiving and are now looking for something the week between Christmas/NYE. We're looking at places within 2-4 hour drive from our house. The added bonus is we have an easy excuse to tell family why we can't attend their holiday Covid parties.

i was at the dreams macao in early october and might leave friday or next week for another resort
the dreams was 10% full during the week , maybe 40% by the weekend .
buffet was closed the majority of the time and only 2 restaurants were open each night
considering going to colombia for the jan or feb to get out of the cold. just getting an airbnb if i do this
putting a group together for a 13 day Tanzania Safari for jan 21 2022 , if i get 11 people i can save everyone 200-250

... Once you show your test, no masks at all? Bars open as usual? Any other restrictions?

Honestly, I'm not sure. We haven't gotten that far. I doubt it though. I'll have to look and see what the rules are once in the country. Things were definitely open "as usual" last I looked, but I don't remember the specifics.

Here's what I found as requirements to travel into the country. Looks like each island might have their own rules and it seems like several of them are suggestions and not mandates, which I find odd given their requirements just a couple months ago:
There are still several places that simply aren't opening until the COVID restrictions are lifted it seems.

I thought most travel insurance policies specifically excluded events related to pandemics?

I think it depends on the coverage. There are different levels, but I’m not 100% sure it’s always the case, but I think it mostly is.

My wife is incredibly savvy with planning. I'm sure she's got it covered...I think the airlines don't charge a change fee, and I know she was ensuring the hotel didn't either.
But again, things are not looking promising in the US for travel given the direction the numbers are going

Agreed. I have a trip to Portland in early April that I’ve postponed twice already and another to Alaska in late May. I’m nervous that both won’t work out.

The rules when i booked : needed a test within 72 to enterBossman said:
the rules when i left changed to : no test needed as they were doing random test upon arrival and the DR was offering covid insurance
masks were mandatory for staff but not visitors . i wore them when not drinking ,eating or in a pool. that was probably 1/4 of the time
bars are open but they try to maintain social distance , the pool bar closed 3 days after i arrived as the DR govt made it compulsory across the country. not sure if it still is in affect
the auditorium where the nightly shows were held was closed and all the shows were held outside
excursions were available , i didnt purchase any so i cant tell you how they were
if i didnt answer everything or have any other questions . just let me know
DR did take covid seriously , 5pm curfew across the country early on . it was moved to 7 and 9 . the 9 pm curfew started in oct.
majority of the stores were closed during this time , masks were mandatory as soon as you stepped out your door and fines and jail times enforced it .
