The High Seas Time Travel Cruise aka 11th Annual SteamPunk Cruise {3/16/24}
Karl Helweg:
Royal Caribbean has cancelled all cruises through April 2021. We are planning for a cruise between February and April 2022 now.
Royal Caribbean made a generous offer of 125% credit on our cancelled cruises. By dumb luck we had splurged on a suite which turned into a "winning lottery ticket" of sorts. Since the credit expired 12/31/2021 and it is significantly more than the cruise that our regulars have chosen (and we have to fly from Alaska) we are staying on the ship for a back-to-back cruise to Mexico and Honduras.

Basically the thought for 2021 is that Oasis of the Seas is one of the maybe four largest cruise ships in the world and as a group that has cruised together we have come to enjoy the amenities available on these city-like cruise ships a little more than the smaller ships.

After yet a 2nd annual SteamPunk Cruise being cancelled we are making plans for the 2022 cruise.
There have been several cruises proposed but the front runner is a repositioning cruise aboard the Radiance of the Seas through the Panama Canal in April 2022. This is a 13 night cruise departing Miami and ending in Los Angeles.
For more information please see https://www.facebook.com/groups/189772278077087 or PM me.
France started the canal in 1881 and Teddy Roosevelt finished it in 1904 so there will be a little history in addition to some other interesting ports.
It looks like this cruise won the polling since folks have started making reservations. After two cancellations we are jonesing for a long cruise and are a little worried that these will be sold out early.

Karl Helweg:
Our 3rd scheduled cruise for the "8th" Annual SteamPunk Naval Veterans Expedition has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Like the the previous cancelled cruises we were really looking forward to the Panama Canal cruise.
Our new plan is actually two back-to-back sailings on the same giant ship, the Allure of the Seas. This in not just to hedge our bets but to give cruisers the flexibility of joining either or both cruises. (We are staying in the same cabin for both.)
For more information please see: https://www.facebook.com/events/1422136707978266
BTW - both sailings start at surprisingly good prices but the 2nd 6 day cruise to Mexico & Ruatan is only $501.00 per person for double cabin occupancy.
SALE: The 2nd six day sailing is on sale for just $311.00/person on 0https://www.vacationstogo.com/fastdeal.cfm?deal=15462
