And then Covid hit! No one went anywhere really. The cruise was canceled and all the money Ken + Virginia had already paid was put into an account at the cruise line (along with a 25% bonus credit, presumably for not demanding a refund). As the vaccines rolled out and things seemed to be getting better, Ken + Virginia re-booked the cruise for roughly the same time in 2021, with an 8 day (7 nights on the boat) New Orleans to Memphis itinerary.
And then weeellll, let’s just say the vaccine roll-out did not go as expected!! Lots of people, especially in the southern states Ken + Virginia were to visit, declined to get vaccinated. But since Ken + Virginia were fully vaccinated they decided to push ahead, while acknowledging the need to wear masks when not on the boat. (The cruise line required proof of vaccination AND a negative PCR test prior to boarding, so masks were not required while on the boat.)
