Behind The D.O.R.R. - August 2020 Issue

BEHIND THE D.O.R.R. - AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

Well here we are into August all ready.  Summer is flying by despite the hiatus we've had to take from many of our favorite summer time activities caused by COVID-19.  We've missed all our friends through out the United States, and we have certainly missed all the live concerts.  But through this global pandemic one thing is for sure...we have learned many lessons.  We have learned to accept and adapt to the "new" normal. We have learned and educated ourselves to new skills and/or talents.  We've even tried new things that we would have never tried otherwise. We've been able to spend more time with our families,  and actually  return to a simpler laid back way of life. Above all, at least for me,  I have learned to trust that God is in control, not me,  and I need to just trust the process, stop being a backseat driver, so to speak, and allow HIM to be my chauffeur.  Once I accepted that lesson it seemed everything else started falling into place.  In time things will actually return back to "normal" and I know we are all looking forward to that day. 

 

NEWS WORTHY.....READ ALL ABOUT IT

It's official!  Decades Of Rock & Roll ® Cruise is now an accredited Travel Agency!  That's right.  We obtained our certification for Cruise Counsellor through CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association).  I also became a Verified Travel Consultant through ARC.  Not only do we do Event Planning & Show Production, but now we are also a full travel agency.  That is great news for all our cruisers.  We now can offer and arrange your air travel needs for each upcoming Decades Cruise. BUT, why stop there?  If anyone is in need of airfare, hotels, rental cars, or looking to just get away to a nice resort we are here to help.  Feel free to give us a call.  Let us know what your travel needs are and we can get it set up for you.  740-438-0382.  

 

2021 DECADES OF ROCK & ROLL® CRUISE UPDATE

We have been receiving many phone calls, texts, as well as emails from our cruisers inquiring about the 2021 Decades Cruise.  The most popular question being asked from our cruisers is if this cruise is still happening,  and if the CDC has okay'd Cruise Lines to begin sailing again. I would like to take a minute and address this very legitimate question. 

To all of us here at Decades Of Rock & Roll® Cruise the health and safety of all our guests is very important to us.  And because of that we are closely monitoring and staying up to date with all news pertaining to COVID-19, the Cruise Lines, as well as the recommendations coming from the CDC.  The cruise lines are actively working on solutions and guidelines that must be met, and in place in order for Cruises to begin to sail once again.  As of right now, the CDC has a "No Sail" order in place through September 30th. CLIA made a major announcement today extending the CDC 'No Sail' order through November 2020, and possibly  even further out to December 15, 2020. 

We will be sending out letters in the mail  the first week of September to all our registered guests letting them know we will not be collecting any deposits on September 9th.  Within that letter we will also have a new payment schedule of when everything will be due, as well as other pertinent information regarding the 2021 Decades Of Rock & Roll ® Cruise.  Please keep an eye out for that letter. 

Our dates for the 2021 cruise is February 27 - March 6, 2021 leaving out of Los Angeles going to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta.  The current promotion has been extended through August which is:  No Money Down, No Payments until November, Free Gratuities, and up to $800 Ship Board Credit. This is a very popular and fun cruise you don't want to miss.  For more information go to DecadesOfRockAndRoll.com or call 740-438-0382.

 

VIDEO FEATURE OF THE MONTH

For this months video feature we chose to go back to the 2020 Decades Of Rock & Roll® Cruise specifically to the ever popular Singer / Songwriter event where we feature the talents of many of our entertainers who are also very successful songwriters.  It is a very informal and intimate setting.   Basically, what you get is  just  guys and their guitars telling stories behind the songs they write, and then performing them for us. Despite the simplicity of this event it has become a favorite for our cruisers. Something they look forward to each year. So for this months video we are going to  feature Delyn Christian and his song "Dancing In The Kitchen". I must warn you though....Once you start to listen to this song it's impossible to sit still and listen. YOU'LL be up and "Dancing In The Kitchen".  Great tune as well as clever lyrics. Definitely will put a smile on your face.  

 

We certainly hope you have enjoyed this months issue of Behind The D.O.R.R.  Everyone please stay safe and healthy.  Until Next Time.....BYE!

    Hello from your Photographer onboard! I missed you but wanted to let you know how much I enjoy seeing all the live streaming video's and Facebook posts. Penny shares quite a bit on her page and it has been fun seeing her and her grand baby. Thanks for all the fun shots on all of your pages, it keeps my moral going. It has been particularly hard on me now since I have not been able to shoot ANY LIVE SHOWS since March, the Winter Music Festival in Gladstone, OR. The last BIG photo shoot I had WAS the DORR. I really am worried but I am sure together we can fight this virus and all be back together someday soon. This is the best cruise I can say I have been on. I am a big blues fan and have been on four cruises prior this one but the DORR cruise allows me the freedom to relax and see music, the sights, and not be too exhausted when I return home. This cruise is highly recommended for those that enjoy travel and hearing music, the bands can satisfy anyone's musical tastes, of course, I have my favorites! Every time I see one of the photos I took of you, it makes me happy that I was included on this fun cruise and that memory will last. See you all soon somewhere, and be safe. Kathy

    In reading your newsletter, it is very distracting to have the pictures on the side popping up!

    It comes up on mobile phone devices. I wanted to tell you how much we miss all of you. It was a long month since we heard from you! My sister just texted that Governor DeWine has Covid and also the Sheriff of Volusia County, Florida . Stay well!

    So sorry. We didn’t do a newsletter for July. Probably should have. I had people who reached out thinking we were sick when we didn’t do one. We are all doing well. And yes, Governor DeWine tested positive for COVID-19.
