Transpacific: Sydney Australia-New Zealand-Polynesian Islands (Tahiti, Bora Bora, Morea)-Honolulu, HI. Hawaii cruise around the islands ending in Vancouver Canada.
We don't want to get on a plane. We don't want to get on a port in Sydney. We don't want to be in confined space in a plane or cruise ship. The coronavirus spread is no longer confined to just from China.
Just the risk of getting quarantined in a room on a cruise ship would make me make other plans for a vacation.I have been watching a cruise from CA we are on next month. Yesterday, no insides left and balcony was around $6,400. Today...there are insides available and balcony dropped to $5,700. If they continue to drop I will try to reprice my inside for a balcony. At this point, I'm not changing anything. Disneyland and cruise.....talk about potential for germs. I will monitor over the next month if it gets very bad, the I will reconsider. At this point my concern is not getting coronavirus…..it is about quarantined in my room on a cruise ship for 14 days. If there is a high potential for THAT, then I'm making other plans.
Right now I have vacation plans for mid March and am keeping them in place. It is a driving vacation. I am supposed to go to NY later this month by train and still deciding whether to go.
This Month I actually had two weeks in Disney and changed it to one week in Captiva and the other in Marco Island. At this point I just wanted to reduce my chance for getting a different strain of the flu, once this year was enough.
Logically I know I can get the flu anywhere but emotionally I think less people less risk. I think some of us at this point will make our decision with traveling because of the Coronavirus emotionally, including me. I remember when Zika broke out in Miami, I changed my vacation to Orlando, was it a logical or a emotional choice, probably both but it made me have less stress about the vacation and I was able to enjoy.
