The above is the itinerary for a cruise out of New York scheduled for the Sunday after Thanksgiving. If I felt comfortable taking this cruise, I'd jump on it. It is one of two cruises I've found lately that offer an excellent price/value combination - unicorns, as they are known by many. However, I did not feel comfortable taking this cruise at this time, as several of these ports are on the CDC's list of Covid-19 high risk destinations.
With the exception of the Dominican Republic, almost all the islands are at a level 4 warning. This means that the CDC is advising people NOT to travel to these places. Of course, the CDC is reasonably honest here, as they place the USA in a level 4 category. It is safer to travel to Canada (a level 3 country) than to travel to Puerto Rico. So does taking this trip make sense?
Although this is the first cruise that I've found that has no single supplement, is it a unicorn? Right now, I'd feel comfortable getting off the ship in only three of the ports as Marian. But I don't think I'd feel safe from Covid-19 until I get my booster shot. So I don't think this is the best unicorn to chase.
