I am teary-eyed just watching the Sailaway video. I loved my two cruises on MSC Divina,but I generally loved ALL my cruises on all cruise lines😊. I so wish to be able to cruise soon again (I am in Canada).

Good luck to the MSC Grandioza and any other cruise ship brave enough to start sailing soon.

It is great news that the Zaandam is allowed to sail through the Panama Canal. But what about the Rotterdam with part of the healthy (?) cruisers? Are the Panamian authorities going to allow transfer of both ships? Until now there was no word about it. Oh,the mess!

YES..... can't wait 😀

I think that her cruise was just 7 days...means, she is not on the ship anymore. Maybe she will continue from home...

There is just no helping some people ... :eek::rolleyes:

Bravo !!! ;)

It seems the Ta bought the insurance after the cancellation date had already passed/. If I underestand correcttly, she should not have bought the insurnance e that right from the moment or purchase was invalid.. Her company owews you a refund, IMO. I see you are firiends and travel mates but this is business Does she not see and acknowledge how she made a serious mistake?.

Thank you,Sail

This is her response:

Thank you for your effort,*Miss G*.

I will keep it on file-just in case....

Thank you all who answered to me.

You still have the medical and trip interruption coverage that is included in the CPP coverage.

 

Unless I have it wrong, you cannot avail yourself of the cancel for any reason (before the ship sails) aspect of the coverage, but this seems moot as your are healthy and are likely to sail as scheduled.

 

Once you sail, the CPP coverage will still cover (up to plan limits) any medical expenses and/or trip interruption expenses that you incur.

Thank you thinfool. Maybe the coverage without the cancellation part should be less expensive? I just wonder why this coverage was sold to us when we actually missed the deadline (prior to canc.fees started to accrue).

Who actually sells the plan to the customer: HAL or TA? That I would like to understand

You are healthy and able to cruise...so go and enjoy! Any "insurance" is moot at this point for you. You pay your money....you take your chances.

Stop worrying about it and have a nice vacation.

cb at sea:I love your post,but inquisitive minds want to know and understand ;).

(I am posting this again...my first answer to you disappeared...how come?)

My TA bought it one day AFTER cancellation penalties started to accrue. My question is:is the CPPP even valid? Should my TA had even bought it?

Cancellation fees schedule began on January 7,2018",

AFTER

My travel companion (who is my TA as well) and I booked a cruise on Veendam for March 7,2018.The fare was non-refundable. We also purchased the CPPP for this cruise. We booked AND paid in full immediately on January 8,2018. My TA informed me, after she sent me the Booking confirmation, that we could not use the CPPP in case we needed cancel the cruise,because the fare was non-refundable. The CPPP Summary of Benefits reads that the plan is available for purchase prior to the date on which cancellation fees begin to accrue. Our "Cancellation fees schedule began on January 7,2018",which was AFTER we paid the cruise incl. CPPP. The TA said that we need to stay well and healthy and do not need to cancel. I had never traveled without chance to cancel in case of an illness, so I bought Cancellation and medical travel insurance from my bank (very expensive) to have a peace of mind. The cruise is coming in a few days,I am well,happy and ready to go,but I still do not understand if the CPPP would be enough and valid for cancellation if I needed it.

English is my second language,so it is difficult for me to explain it properly,but I hope that some of you experienced HAL cruisers can understand and give me an answer.:confused:

Thank you very much!

No fee.

Thank you :D

Is there a fee for the Afternoon Tea?:confused:

Sorry,an error :-(

I hope

DI = Diamonds International

Thanks!:cool:

???

:confused:

Me too! I hope they also upgrade you :)

Yes,you deserve it,jojobe!;)

I am very happy for you :D

I got a bathrobe AND slippers on the Divina-and I am NOT Black card holder,being in Fantastica experience.

We know already that MSC is inconsistent, right?;)

Good afternoon. We are booked on the January 20, 2017 on the Crown out of Fort Lauderdale. We were wondering if there are any updates regarding the port changes. I have read all the Princess updates. Does anyone have any thoughts regarding the port changes? We were wondering if they might divert us to the ABC Islands?

I think you have missed your cruise :p

Antigua has 365 beaches-for each day in a year one.

I had been there several times,and any beach I visited had been gorgeous.

I do remember just one name: Valley Church Beach,and another one (I think) was Half Moon Bay.

But you cannot go wrong with ANY beach on the Antigua.

Well,maybe now,after the hurricane,you have to find out if some beaches were destroyed.

No,you are not; I wonder about the same thing;)

I am pretty sure they were talking about modest swimsuits, not shoes. But I wouldn't mind if someone wore water shoes in the pool.

I was not talking about modest swimsuits and water shoes.

The man was dressed exactly as I described in my post.

I cannot imagine that he had properly showered (as required by the rules) before entering the pool.

In my opinion that is very unhygienic,and allowing it is setting a dangerous trend.
