There are enough Australians to fill the ships they don’t need people from other places.  

or ships since Australia P & O can serve that market

can't see any lines under the Carnival Corp umbrella sailing in Australia for at least a couple of years with the newly announced class action lawsuit over the RUBY situation ...

I think you're 100%correct.  We are booked on the November 7, 2021, cruise and I'd be very surprised if that occurs

yeah, we've got a little cruise booked December 2021 ... prolly our next unless something else comes up in the Spring

as the title states ... with things 'shut down' ( except Australia ) until 12/15/20 - what happens to the ships

and the existing crew and officers still on the ships ? Do they continue to just 'hang out' where they currently are ?

are some crew and officers rotated on and off the ships ?

just curious ...

MY CRUISE was cancelled today ... bummer

when can I expect my FCC to be posted to my account ?

can I use that FCC as a 'deposit' and payment on a future cruise for 4/2021 ?

booked directly with Princess

day 0

maybe I will call Princess tomorrow, huh ?

The part that frustrates me is there seems to be NO plan whatsoever to restart. Just keeping selling new cruises and wait for the CDC to get off their behinds isn’t a good strategy.

what are the cruise lines waiting for the CDC to do exactly ?

Not a surprise.  They have no plan yet to be able to resume sailing.  They cannot afford to have a outbreak of Covid19 on a Princess ship.  Do not see cruises as we know them restarting until there is a vaccine that is widely available.

December 2021 cruise on the Discovery ?   wonder now about the status of the completion

Hopefully, the mods will make this the main thread about this and combine the current and future threads into this one main thread ... 

YEP - how about that "gaming the system paying off 🤑 ... now about that pesky "bankrupt" thingy ...

well, you can rule out the Royal and now Majestic ... as far as cruisers on this board are concerned ...

Only a $1000?  LOL.

we've had this cruise booked for a long time - first as a 'Getaway' promotion with BEST2DG and a $ 100 NON-Refundable deposit

over time, we have taken advantage of price drops, Princess Plus, upgraded to a Cat BB, NR deposit credited back as FCC, and we placed an additional $ 200 RD to bring our 'investment' to $ 300 for a long time

when Princess started cancelling cruises and offering 'double your amount paid if not paid in full, well we gradually started

increasing our 'investment / exposure' to what it is today .. basically 'gaming the system' as one previous poster so eloquently put it

Folks jumped at those FCC deals which were often 125%, 150% or even 200% of the payments they had made on cancelled cruises.

I'm hoping for the 200% FCC for cruises not paid in full when Princess cancels our late November cruise.

Looking at basically a same type cabin / cruise in April 2021, the cost is about $ 50 pp pd more than our currently priced cabin, admittedly we got at a very good rate.  We've 'only' got $ 1,000 in play right now and still about 60 days to final payment due.

Prolly take a refund if only 125% offered knowing it would be 120+ days to see the money back in our account

Did your price stay the same or did it go up.  Mine went up ☹️

that, and any increased deposits, 'should' be just a temporary glitch, imagine that, in the Princess system according to posters

(Pooh) in other thread(s)

Mine too!  My initial deposit paid for the Grand is still showing, but says I owe $1200 more by July 24th or will be cancelled!

Yikes.

previous threads have stated this is only a timing error ... due to the change of ships and / or itineraries ... 

call Princess or your TA before sending ANY more money

There are also alcohol packages, but in my very judgmental opinion, these are only for the alcoholics amongst us.  You need to drink a LOT for these to be worthwhile. 

the so-called "alcohol package" is about $ 15.00 pp pd when bundled with the Princess Plus package of grats ( 15.00 ) and wifi 

( 10.00 ) for a total of $ 40.00 pp pd

$ 15.00 pp pd for NON-ALCOHOLIC unlimited beverages including bottled water, specialty coffees, juices, fountain soda, etc.

plus up to 15 alcoholic drinks valued at $ 12 and under ... hardly ALCOHOLIC in MY VERY NOT SO HUMBLE OPINION.

stay hydrated

stay safe

peace out

The only S5  suites on Regal are the Forward suites.  The middl/aft suites on Riviera d3meck are S4 suites.

what did Princess or your TA state when you contacted them ?

we also got it ... hope it's more than just a rah, rah event and unlikely to get into too many specifics and dates , which really are prolly not known at this time anyway ... but just at least announce cancellations thru October, because no way those are happening anyway
