Joc123 Posted May 4, 2020 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Where will these cruises go ? How will they get crew back onboard? How are passengers going to get to these ports? So many questions and reasons why IMHO this won’t happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are those very basic Carnival cruises that go to the Caribbean. Who knows if any ports will accept them. I expect changes as time goes forward. To answer a question above, many passengers will drive to these ports, which means they will be Americans who live within driving distance---lots of Texans, and Floridians to start. Not cruises SB cruisers would be interested in--but I am predicting they will have takers--IF this actually happens. Right now, Texas has not yet reached its daily peak of Covid-19 cases, and yet, the state is opening up, as per the governor's direction.

Covepointcruiser Posted May 4, 2020 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Why can’t we fly to the port? We always fly as driving on I 95 is awful. Right now we have reservations on Southwest to Tampa the end of June. We also made reservations at a Residence Inn. Don’t know why we couldn’t take a cruise if we were traveling in late July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covepointcruiser Posted May 5, 2020 #8 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Unfortunately, we received news this morning from our travel agent. Seabourn will not be sailing through 10/31/2020. He said to expect an Email from Seabourn today or tomorrow. We are very disappointed but guess we are powerless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No press release on their website yet. Edited May 5, 2020 by norm2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't feel safe cruising even in October and, if true, would mean that I wouldn't have cancel our cruise myself before final payment date and not be able to get a refund or 125% FCC. If it's true (and I still have considerable doubts) WELL DONE SEABOURN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertmartha Posted May 5, 2020 #12 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Totally agree - be upfront and bite the bullet. Well Done Seabourn Seabourn is not Carnival and neither are her passengers or her sailings. While it is a tough pill to swallow there is to much uncertainty in the world right now - how will passengers get to ports - what ports if any will be open and accepting ships - and even if they do - what will be the state of the country one is trying to visit.

My TA in the UK is not aware of this. They have asked Seabourn but not yet received a response. I remain in some considerable doubt but would love to be pleasantly surprised.

tv24 Posted May 7, 2020 #20 Share Posted May 7, 2020 This evening we received an email from Seabourn that our back-to-back-to-back cruises this fall have all been cancelled. All on the Odyssey, through Europe and then on the Barbados. I should not have been surprised, but i was, and now I am very sad. We will have a discussion with our TA regarding what to do about FCC vs refund and our definite desire to sail with Seabourn someday when it is safe. But seriously, I don't know when that will be. Tonight I am sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight I am sad. I am sad too. Last evening we had a social distant cocktail hour in our front yard with a couple who are frequent cruisers. The were lamenting that they were unsure if they would ever be able to cruise again. Hearing them say that was very sobering. I do hope there will be breakthroughs of an effective vaccine as well as curative treatments for this virus. Looking back, I am now sad we only took one cruise a year and am envious of you who cruised more often. At the same time, I am grateful for the travel we have done.
