Did you cancel a cruise due to the bushfires?

[CruiseCriticAUeditor]

Do you know anyone who has cancelled their cruise because of the bushfires -- whether they were protecting their homes, the roads were closed off or due to health concerns? 

 

Please ask them to email me (do not publish their contact details here) if they would be happy to share their story. No full names or photos will be published if they prefer to keep private.

 

If you've made bushfire-related insurance claims, I would be interested to hear how the outcome too. Again, by email please.

 

Thank you, and stay safe cruisers!

 

In case you're interested, Cruise Critic and parent company TripAdvisor have made donations to various bushfire funds in Australia, with our employees across the world donating their own amounts, which has been matched $ for $ by TripAdvisor.

We phoned our insurance company to check on 'clauses'. If our house burnt down or was damaged we 'would most probably'' be eligible for assistance to cancel flights and/or cruise but, there was no cancellation cover if we chose to stay and defend.

Which insurance company?

Oh that’s interesting, thanks for sharing. I will check if this is the same across all companies.
