graveytrain Posted January 24, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) What do you think are the chances for an April 2021 sailing? If you think it is a possibility, how late can river cruises be booked? March? We are looking at the Columbia River cruise on the Empress, but I don’t want to book and be issued a FCC in the event of a cancellation. Opinions?

TinCan782 Posted January 24, 2021 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2021 AQSC website alerts says: "The American Empress, which sails the Columbia and Snake rivers, will extend its suspension through April 11, 2021." I wouldn't be surprised if it (and other cruises get pushed back (again). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worried about our July trip at this point. I think you can book pretty much last minute. However, if they are limiting capacity, you might be out of luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floriduh Posted March 3, 2021 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Got an email today that our documents and info packet was mailed out today for our April 3 cruise on the Countess. Looks like things are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveytrain Posted March 4, 2021 Author #5 Share Posted March 4, 2021 This is wonderful news. Keep us posted. We are “rolling the dice” and waiting until the 3rd week of March to book an April 11 sailing on the Columbia River. Hopefully it will still be available. We have several dollars tied up in FCC and do not want to book a new cruise unless we are fairly certain to sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it's just over 3 weeks till they start. Looks good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolNickname Posted April 14, 2021 #7 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Just received our packet for our April 25th cruise on on American Countess. I was pretty sure it would be showing up soon as my mother-in-law is on the same cruise with us and she got her packet last week. For some reason ours got mailed to our TA while hers went directly to her? I guess it doesn't really matter as they got it sent right out to us. So excited to be cruising again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
