Aegean Greece-Ephesus

CDC has recommended that people avoid cruise ships right now— especially older folks and people with health issues. Greece is beginning to close public events—eg. sports events. I’m assuming that most of the participants are seniors or near-seniors so I am surprised that we are not hearing more from Road Scholar about concerns for the health and safety of passengers.

    Hello, Road Scholar continues to  meet daily to evaluate our programs and make reasonable researched decisions guided by the public health experts. Should your program be impacted, we would notify all participants immediately. For those who haven't purchased the Road Scholar Trip Protection Plan, we have modified the insurance deadlines so participants can purchase the plan and receive Cancel for Any Reason coverage. Please see our daily updates for more details on the Trip Protection Plan and the current situations we are monitoring.  Best Regards, Claire

    Actually the CDC, NIH, and WHO did warn everyone over the age of 60 to stay off long flights, avoid crowds and stay off cruises because of COVID-19. This is our 3rd international trip through RS. We are scheduled to leave on a cruise through the Greek Isles March 31-April 11. I would assume that most participants on the cruise fit the “at risk” demographic. Greece’s cases of COVID-19 have increased to 89. We have not received any letter of concern regarding these warnings. We haven’t heard any acknowledgement of these high level warnings other than the suggestion to purchase the insurance. We are very disappointed in RS and disturbed by their lack of concern and response.

    I’m disappointed with RS as well. I hope they step up to the plate. This is my first experience with RS and may well be the last.
