Are you ready to cruise again? Do you feel like our ships are safe from disease. Or at this point does that not matter. After over two years of COVID and travel restrictions are you ready to take a trip to your favorite destination with thousands of other individuals just because you are tired of restrictions.

I for one have taken several trips during COVID, including a European vacation, and I can tell you the airports were crowded the plane was packed and I just used caution wore a mask had hand sanitizer with me and thankfully I did not get COVID. I am 57 I feel like the years are flying by and I am willing to follow safety guidelines. But we aren’t getting any younger and if you follow me you know I feel very strongly that these can be the best years of our lives. And for me that means travel!
