We booked this cruise last February 2020 when we were on the Regent Australian cruise...we were aware of Covid at the time...but certainly had no clue what the next year would unfold. Thank goodness it was booked for 2022. I am sure we all hope travel will return to some normalcy by then. We have already cancelled or postponed so many trips because of covid...and dare I say...we are not getting any younger. We are going to have to make up for lost time!
