Good morning, I am not spending 3 grand on a television...
And now when making your selection, you can think about all the $$$ you've just saved.
You're welcome 🙃😁-

Have to think about it.
Somewhere in this neighborhood should work well.

Full screen mode makes the guidance easy to read albeit not easy to digest.

Just a FYI-the credit card company did a reversal of the charge while they are doing their investigation. They can charge it back if they find in favor of Uniworld. Hope the reversal stays.

For those who have opted to "dispute the charge" with their credit card companies, what have been the results?
Have there been any permanent reversals of the charges? -

A number of visa/passport expediting companies may be helpful when time feels critical.
Try a search for G3visas.

IMPACTED 2020 CRUISES (updated Tuesday, June 16th)
As a result of the current global travel restrictions, all Uniworld voyages have been suspended through July 31, 2020. If you have a booking on one of these suspended voyages, a Uniworld representative will be contacting you or your travel advisor (if applicable) to discuss your options. -
What is going on !!?
Uniworld's web site is currently (re-)listing July 2020 cruises.
-
Our ATL-FRA non-stop flight on Delta was originally scheduled for July 1. Reservation was booked on Feb 4.
On May 5, Delta dropped the non-stop from their schedule - substituting a connection through AMS.
The change made our reservation eligible for a refund or eCredit even though the fares were "non-refundable".
We asked for a cash refund and received the credit to our VISA card on June 5.
Kudos to Delta and our TA. 👍🏻

Did you ever get a reply from Uniworld via your TA? My TA said Uniworld had not yet suspended cruises beyond July 1.
Yes we did.
Our TA phoned her contact at Uniworld and received the following on Jun 1:
=====================================================================================
Hi [TA]
Thank you for the phone call. As discussed, we will submit the full refund for booking ####### and waive the $200pp administrative penalty. Please be advised it may take between 60-90 days for the guests to receive their refund. We thank you for your understanding regarding this timeline.
I will proceed with cancelling their booking, and moving forward with the refund...
=====================================================================================
So now we wait.

Cancelled via our TA April 9 2020 and refund posted to my CC on Jun 2.
-
As noted by Babcia7 in another thread, Uniworld has cancelled everything through the end of August. Their web site removed the affected cruise offers on May 29.
Our TA has yet to receive a notification from Uniworld as to the cancellation of our planned cruise and is still awaiting a reply to her inquiry.

I’m afraid it’s far too late for that... it had already sneezed. 😉

Indeed.

- Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.
- Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
- If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.

Yes, noticed this little "detail" with the Silver Galapagos ship removed from their listing of ship options. BUT, how likely will this new Silver Origin will be able to sail on July 18? My bet? Slim and none!!
No disagreement from moi...
While sad and disappointed that we won’t see Galapagos this year, it’s truly heartbreaking to read of the plight of Ecuadorians, especially those who inhabit the islands. 😥
-
It appears that Silver Galapagos has been removed from the “Ships” pick list. ☹️
Silver Origin maiden voyage still scheduled to depart July 18.

...Fast covid screen tests are now available too so perhaps that will be done for staff and passengers.
Isn't a screen test just a "snapshot" of the individual's condition? -- i.e., "as of 31 Oct 2020, ms/mr pax was not carrying the virus".
FCC’s and ATOL protection

You made me look it up. 🙂
ATOL (which stands for Air Travel Organiser’s Licence) is a UK financial protection scheme and it protects most air package holidays sold by travel businesses that are based in the UK.
