A slight change in the policy now.

 

those departing out of the U.S. are ok with 2 MRNA vaccines or J & J.

 

those departing outside of the U.S. are considered fully vaccinated with mixed vaccines - AZ and MRNA vaccine.  Good news for Canadians in part 🙂 

 

From the HAL FAQ’s page:

 

Was just logging in to share this news.  Sorry we cancelled our cruise before they updated their policy, however, we have booked a 31 night cruise from Agentina to Fort Lauderdale in March so something else to look forward to.

I imagine you are past your final payment date - will you incur any penalty?  I know when HAL cancelled a cruise for us, we even got back our insurance premium, but it was because they cancelled us, not the other way around.  But I suppose in this instance they are actually canceling you because of their rule about not mixing vaccines.

We cancelled on the eve of the final payment - thankfully, however or cruise advisor said that it would not have made a difference they would have refunded it.

Just wanted to update you on our cruise cancellation (Athens - Venice Sept. 24) based on having received the AZ for our first and the Moderna for the second.  We contacted our cruise advisor and she cancelled our cruise and our travel insurance and has told us that we should have a full refund within 90 days.  

Hopefully this will all be resolved before our next cruise which is scheduled in March of 2022.

I know it sounds a bit crazy, but is there any chance you can get a third shot with the Moderna Vaccine?

I highly doubt it since Canada is busy trying to find enough vaccines to vaccinate everyone and our doses are tracked through our provincial health cards.

Guess we will be cancelling our Sept. 24th cruise from Athens to Venice.  We both received the AstraZeneca for our first and the Moderna for our second.  We will be checking with our cruise adviser and see what HAL says.

we are booked on the Feb. 29th cruise for 28 days and are deciding whether to cancel and use the credit on a different cruise or just wait and see what HAL comes up with for an alternative cruise.  We are/were disappointed to not be going to China (it would have been our first visit) but understand that the decision is not in the hands of HAL.  

We are hoping that HAL comes up with a great new itinerary since Asia is out of the picture.  How many others are waiting to see what HAL proposes or are you just cancelling and travelling later in the year?
