There is a lot of work that can be done at wet dock. I suspect there are a lot of small deferred maintenance jobs that can be done on board during this period. They will bring contractors on board to help with maintenance that does not need dry dock. For example completing the revamp of the passenger facing network systems, painting, preventive maintenance of HVAC and improving filtration systems and so on. 60 days is a long time. They could do a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know* I paid in full for our April 5th cruise. Our (fare only) is for myself $1390 my daughter $1390 and my 8yro Grandson $480. I'm going to take option 1, 100% with 175% FCC, so does that all go to the one who paid(Me) or does Princess split it? I don't know if my daughter can take off work, for another future cruise.

cltnccruisers Posted March 12, 2020 #179 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Today we received email notification for the 2 mini-suites we had booked for 4/12/20 on Regal Princess. We'd been leaning toward cancelling anyway. We don't normally use Princess but it fit our daughters and granddaughters schedule. So the email offered us 2 options. Take a future cruise credit at 150% of the cancelled cruise value or 100% plus a 25% future cruise credit. So we filled out the online forms and an email confirmation. Fine. Now what? Not even a "We will be in touch". Emails to support are rejected. Calls to the 800 number say to check the website and leave no useable option to get a human being. Nothing on the website - our bookings look like they are still on. Understandable given that thousands of folks overloading their systems. I've been in IT since 1979 so I know this is not a "snap your fingers" kind of thing. We'll see what happens by the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookmama22 Posted March 12, 2020 #181 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Kudos to Princess. I had the sense from Day 1 that this was the direction we would be heading in. This is a very serious situation that will not simply disappear. Major cultural institutions in NYC have all announced closures for the rest of the month - NY Phil, Met Opera, Carnegie Hall, Met Museum will close for several days for deep sanitizing and will announce plans further. Other smaller museums such as The Jewish Museum have followed suit. My own office just announced that effective tomorrow everyone should work remotely for the indefinite future although the office itself will remain open for those who prefer to work in the office. I myself am in quarantine right now having been in contact with a relative who is now hospitalized in Israel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option 2 is 100% refund + 50% future cruise credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't fly (bad experience lead to sever anxiety), since we need to be there to take care of grandkids 1 & 2 when #3 arrives. It's only about 3200 miles, and we love road trips. Gotta change my packing plans though, no need for sundresses and shorts. We have lived in the Northwest for over 40 years! YES- bring your shorts and sundresses 😁 Believe me, you never know... And have a safe trip! You will see gorgeous scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDVinNC Posted March 12, 2020 #192 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I used the online form to cancel a cruise this morning - now when I try to go back to do another one (which we actually cancelled the day before yesterday but I think we can get the 25% FCC and our money back under the newest policy) I get the following message. Maybe they are just overwhelmed??? Thank you for reaching out regarding your upcoming impacted sailing. We are in the midst of setting up a system to process your cruise postponement and issue your future cruise credit and/or refund. Please check back soon to begin this process. We thank you for your patience as we navigate these unprecedented circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
