Did anyone actually benefit from their cruise getting canceled?

My benefit -   We are still healthy.

 

Still waiting for my FCC, but since further cruising in the future is WAY off my bucket list, it really doesn't make much difference.

We were very fortunate . We booked a 10 day Sapphire cruise leaving March first from Singapore . We waited and waited for Princess to cancel . The cruise before before us was only cancelled the day before sailing and of course many had already flown great distances to get to Singapore . Eleven days before sailing our cruise was cancelled as was the cruise before us . Again most had already flown there for that cruise . We got a full refund onto our CC in less then 2 weeks and 50% FCC for the whole package including air . Hotels.com returned 100% of our non-cancellable hotels . Again we feel very fortunate and realize that things went extreme just after us . 

 

With no cruise we looked for an alternative and got a great deal on a last minute AI in Cozumel . It was wonderful . We had a fantastic time there . We do have a good amount of FCC but may not end using it .
