We didn't hear anything until a couple of months ago when they sent us an-email where we are listed for the claims we submitted which were filed with the court. It notes on there the max we might get. If you haven't gotten this (and since you paid cash maybe that is why) I would contact them.

 

Keith

Thanks, Keith. I will be contacting them, as you suggested. I know that Moeker has my claim.

Progress!!

A friend received this letter with the check in today’s mail. Note the date of the letter. 

This is encouraging.

It is indeed. Only in our case I do not know how we are going to get the checks in Germany or how can we cash it 🤔

I had an email from them last week when I asked as I hadn’t received any acknowledgment that my claim was valid.  I am in Australia and was told that payment would be around first quarter and it would be via wire transfer.  They would contact me closer to when the funds will be sent to get bank details.

Got our check in yesterday's mail!!!

Deposits on 2 cruises.

Good luck to everybody!

There's an image of an MM&A envelope in my USPS Informed Delivery email this morning.  Something is definitely happening on a broad scale.  🙂

Vince, my informed delivery shows the same thing for today's mail.

USPS Informed delivery for today shows an envelope from MM&A for me and one for my wife.

[TER777]

Mine shows one for me too!

Check for a deposited cruise received this am and deposited within the last hour. Very happy.

Would love to come back to Crystal, but we've yet to see itineraries that interest us unfortnately.

[Whipsnade]

Thanks to EI we have five Crystals booked over next two years. But I am afraid without a new ship it may be over for us. Never wanted to try any other kind but now we like Silversea and Explora ships. Guess it will be diversity for us.

Just received our check!

This is the first time I've ever received any kind of payment from a priority distribution, so I'm actually shocked by how quickly I received anything.  I'm used to having to wait 3+ years to get the first penny.  I know a lot of people have claims that will take that long to get the next bit, but "finally" was the last thing in the world I thought when I cashed my check today...  Not that others aren't entitled to that feeling -- they absolutely are.

Vince, agree with you 100% and usually it is almost literally a penny by the time it arrives.

You are right... I'm honestly shocked I got a penny...  but it seems like a lifetime ago that the money was spent.

[Keith1010]

It is interesting that the letters are dated September 27, 2023.

 

I am not blaming this on the USA Postal Service.

 

Maybe they had thought they would be out by then.  😀

 

Keith

[ryndam]

Received our check today, too. Along with the letter that indicates additional funds may (or may not) be distributed during 2024. Thank everyone on CC that posts relevant information. I was not expecting anything until I read the comments posted last week and today's posts about the checks-literally-in-the-mail.

It's definitely not a USPS thing, my check was dated October 24th, so adding batching, collation and mailing, that's pretty typical.  The letters are pre-printed based on the timeline they have at the time, because they want the checks to go out quickly once they finally get approval on the distribution, so I'm guessing they were expecting the checks to go out the first week of October when they first drafted the letters...  Of course the whole process is more complex than that, so that was a safe bet (which more or less paid off, minus one odd date.)

Along time ago I wrote this off but today brings closure.  
 

I git my wish. 
 
Crystal came back. 
 

As to the previous owners I hope they get my wish.

 

Just saying.

To your comment at the end of your post, what's sad is that if they broke into your house, stole your silver, got caught and went to trial, they might end up in prison, but in this case they are still living as high off the hog as ever without one thought to everyone they (can't say that word)!

Also got our check today.

 

Does anyone have an estimate as to when the Federal Maritime Commission might spring into action with checks for we who lost money on "American" Old Crystal Cruises?
