Get me OUTTA here March 2021 Travel Update

Get me Outta here!  ... an update on the travel industry.

...and a free River Cruise giveaway.

Every day now something is changing.  Wow.. travel is here in some cases and on the near horizon in others!

All-inclusives in Mexico and the Caribbean are almost all open and prices are going up, up, UP.  3 days after quoting a room in Cancun that same room for a 4 night stay went up by $245.  Memorial weekend prices are already climbing and planes are getting FULL!!

Cruising is BACK (or will be back shortly) – Royal Caribbean has already announced a cruise starting from a Caribbean port.  Some cruise lines are planning on requiring vaccinations, some not, and some it’s a mixed bag with kids being exempted if they’ve tested negative.  It won’t be a full restart yet but as the vaccine continues it’s rollout I expect it to come back strong.  There is a lot of future cruise credit already out there, waiting to be spent and bookings double in the last couple of months.

 

European Tours – They are booking for summer, but It’s still unclear how the EU will be opening.  I expect individual countries to open before the entire EU.  As one example, Iceland is open NOW as long as you’ve had your vaccination.  I expect river cruising to be a barometer for what to expect in the EU so watch a river cruise company like Viking or AMAwaterways closely if you’re interested in travel to Europe.  Our company is giving away a free week long river cruise for 2 on AMAwaterways.  Register to win at https://www.ibookdreamvacations.com/contest It’s ok to share the link with friends and family too.  Would love to have someone we know win!!
