Thanks for the feedback. Sad story. RC has not flinched from their original stance of no refund, no credits, couldn't even get Crown and Anchor credits. Very classy.

There were no significant issues at all on disembarkation day.... but of a queue to get off the ship and pass through immigration but nothing more than usually in US ports.... then quick onto a taxi to the airport... totally normal at BCN and then bang on time for journey home.... we were lucky it just felt like a normal TA cruise.... but a few days later it would have been a totally different story....

Thanks for the feedback. I'm happy to hear that you all got through under the wire so to speak. I would be very hesitant to offer advice on travel anywhere at this point. We will eventually get to a point in the US, Canada, and a few other places where we can plan with some expectations of stability. But, I think it's too soon to predict where many European and Asian countries will be in the near/intermediate future. We will see waves and hotspots for some time. A vaccine will be a game changer. Treatments will be beneficial as well. I would probably be more adventurous and foregoing if my lovely bride would stop chasing me around the house with the house with a can of Lysol. There will be the threat for some time of finding yourself in a newly designated hot spot and quarantined when venturing overseas. Then again...

Can anyone tell me what happened when the ship arrived in Barcelona? I cancelled on March 1 because, in my fairly well-informed medical opinion (I was formally trained in epidemiology, medical preparation for biological warfare, etc in the Navy), I did not want my family arriving in BCN in mid-March. I hope it went smoothly for everyone, but would like to get some feedback from folks who completed the cruise.
