Hi John,
Thanks for that info - I did not know that it had been cancelled - have they offered another cruise or a refund?
Regards
Alan

Obviously, with our health problems and age travel insurance is very costly so we were trying to avoid that option and as this was a fairly unique cruise I am not sure that they will repeat it next year. I also dread to think what travel insurance will cost next year.

Now that the the UK government has just issued a statement indicating that people over 70 with chronic health conditions such as diabetes should not go on a cruise holiday we find ourselves in a very difficult situation. My wife and I both have diabetes and my wife has other health problems and we are due to sail on the QE on the 12th April 2020 on a Circumnavigation Cruise of Australia.
Obviously, we have contacted both our cruise agent by email 4 times with no response except to send us the tickets, together with Cunard who have responded indicting that they are reviewing the situation. Some insurers in the UK are stating that travel insurance is for unexpected events and coronavirus is a known event so they are not liable and if you travel against government advice you may not be covered.
This obviously puts us in am impossible situation and makes think we will never cruise again.
