jp2746 Posted March 13, 2020 #101 Share Posted March 13, 2020 After speaking with CS, they told me that when the Asia cruises were canceled the customers were refunded. But she did say we would. She said she didn't know how they would handle it, just that refunds were how this was handled in the recent past. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I would like to re-book for April and a deal like Princess offered would be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean the ship will not "do the season" in the Med? Thanks, All depends on how things go. She could go back and do a partial season or the entire season could be cancelled.

Since we drove down from Canada, now what do we do? Disney? I guess not . Hope Royal reimburses something but not holding my breath.

I wish they would at least notify people officially about this, so we can make the other cancellations we need to make for hotels and other things. And with a lot of the airlines many of us will simply all lose money, I wish they would step up but I don’t see them doing it (I need to divorce Delta!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfaeric Posted March 13, 2020 #107 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Sad, but expected. Take the hard decision out of our hands- now we need to cancel the plane ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's leaving because the suspension starts at midnight tonight, and all cruises currently at sea will continue their voyages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL is also offering 150% FCC on sailings departing this weekend, as well as the refund option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drumstix40 Posted March 13, 2020 #114 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I would not take anything other than a cash refund from NCL. I don't think they can financially recover. Too much debt, not enough cash on hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare irun5k Posted March 13, 2020 #115 Share Posted March 13, 2020 1 hour ago, awestover89 said: We'd take a bonused FCC over a refund personally Normally I would say the same thing, but if the credit is only good for a year I'm not sure what to expect out of fares. If things really go south here, the cruise lines could be shut down longer leaving you with less than 12 months to re-book but perhaps fares are good since nobody would be interested in cruising. On the other hand if we rebound quickly from this you are going to have a lot of people looking to use FCC and competing with sailings that were already partially booked prior to all of this- meaning hire fares. Cold hard cash on the other hand- can use that whenever, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how that went. The bandwagons are very active. I guess my cruise on April 25th on Symphony MIGHT GO, or might NOT. time will tell. Glad the folks on Allure got off and heading home.

What are my chances??!! will 30 days is up April 12th and that is a Sunday. So now they have to decide on those doing April 11th Sat and does the ship stay put until the 18th. Sorry for anyone who got bumped. I have been holding off cancelling and so for now my April 25th on SOS might go. But time will tell. Odd that NCL and RCI only did 30 days which to me is a better number. What I can't understand is folks getting on planes, trains and subways but the Masters Golf can't have 120 guys spread out on grass hitting a small ball around without fans watching. Makes no sense and I am most pissed. And WDW hotels won' be closing just the parks. Go figure. oh well. Hoping not too many people get sick or die from this virus.

Do they suddenly become Sunday to Sunday and all the ports have to rearrange all the ships. I don't think even the 3 and 4 day all start on Sunday. some will have to sit a couple of days otherwise a whole season is wacked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
