Cruise Cancellation question

[JEDIKNIGHT]

Hopefully this won't happen but just in case, does anyone know what the cancellation window is? I book CV for March 21st.

 

Having trouble accessing NCL's site so I thought I'd ask here.

 

Probably too late anyway, lol.

THANKS!!!! I've booked a CV, 7 nights. So I assume this pertains:

 

Cruise Days: 6 days or more, Courtyard Villas and Owner's Suite

45 days or less 100% 100% 100% 100%

******************************

 

So, does that mean that if I cancel 45 days before sail date, I get 100% refund? Or do I lose 100% of the fare?

 

Thank you a gain.

[JEDIKNIGHT]

I booked thru a travel agent, paid in full. (Probably not good idea)

 

So if I wanted to cancel, am I at TA's mercy?

This means that if you cancel 45 days or less before your sail date your penalty is 100% of what you paid. Completely out every penny.

The cruise lines are the ones that determines the penalty, not the travel agent. However, with that said some travel agents do add a small penalty to help cover the service that they provided for you.
