Thx for your speedy replies and the link to the earlier post.  I’ve asked the mods to now close this thread.

Forgive me if redundant, but did search and couldn’t find answers.  Cruise stopping in St. Kitts, Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique, and Antigua/St. John’s.  Will we need local currency for taxis, shops, non-ship excursions, and  restaurants, or will credit cards and/or US dollars suffice?

We are still weighing our options. Just out of curiosity, what were you offered.? It sounds like you may have been offered something different from us.... we were essentially given two options, although they labeled it as three:

1. Rebook another cruise to be taken in 2017 or 2018 for half the cost, or

2. Take a refund and $2K per person to be applied to a future cruise.

They also offered for us to go only on the optional Denali trip we had also booked and they'd pay for the changed flights or if we chose not to go, to refund the money. Obviously, they also offered to refund all cancellation charges incurred from the airlines and hotels due to the cruise being cancelled.

It sounds to me like your offer might have been different. Was it and if so, what were you offered if you don't mind my asking? We are still grappling with this change in plans and what to do about it.

In any event, enjoy your new cruise!

Our July 15th cruise has been cancelled, as well.😥

It was to be our third Lindblad trip. Extremely disappointing.

Two questions: what brand/model bag did you end up buying? I've been trying to figure out what would work for me, as well. what date are you cruising? I'm going December 8.
