Bob1956 Posted June 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2020 We are scheduled to go from Redwing to New Orleans on August 1 on the Duchess. With all the new spikes in Covid 19 being reported makes me extremely nervous. Here in Las Vegas social distancing is a joke in the casinos and only 30% of the people are wearing masks. My travel agent told me if we cancel 30 days in advance we would get 75% refund, what a joke. I haven't seen any guidelines as to how American is going to protect the passengers not only on the boat but on excursions as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDVinNC Posted June 18, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2020 A couple of weeks ago I called and they rescheduled our August 16 Mighty Mississippi on the AQ to next year without any repercussions. In fact, we got a cabin we like better and early dining. We had not yet made final payment as we had booked during the time they required it at 60 days rather than the usual 90 days. Maybe a call directly to AQSC would help? I think there is a good chance your trip will be cancelled anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This info is a few weeks old. We also have an August 1 Mississippi cruise scheduled (NOLA to St. Paul) but on ACL. ACLs safety protocols are very similar to AQSC's. After reading them, I thought "this doesn't sound like much fun." So we too are very uncertain as to whether or not to cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
