MadMarine, May I ask which company this is?

Mad marine, thanks. Did you find that statement in the contract? Well, probably not as it seems specific to the coved 19 virus. I’ll research it a bit more. Somewhere.

I know you can move insurance to another cruise but I’d rather have the refund. It doesn’t seen right the insurance company would keep your whole premium if you yourself didn’t cancel. They are then insuring absolutely nothing.

Quite so, TC. Thank you for saying this.

Does anyone know if the insurance company refunds your premium if Regent cancels your cruise? I am unable to find anything about this.

Also, if medically not possible.

Thanks again for your help. I wish I could talk with them. Sigh.

Thank you, Dave. That’s it! Oh, how I wish I had used him for my upcoming, fully paid for cruise! The person I purchased through just simply refers me to the policy issuer, rather than provide the guidance that Steve and his agents do. A complicated issue for me to grapple with of course.

Boblerm, somewhere you posted a link to an insurance company, Steve someone, owner. I cannot now find that link. I’d be very grateful  if you could post it again.

thanks!

Yes I believe the March-April cancellations were government mandated. 
Since  Canada has closed their ports it seems ethically dicey to wait until the day of sailing to cancel.  The FCC is not an option for those who may be medically at the end of their cruising days.

Thank you for your response. Appreciate it.

Does anyone know the last possible time Regent can cancel?

You and your husband look very nice indeed.

The very one. And the cute little hat.

I remembered that second photo. Pure joy.

That cute little guy with the bow tie? 😄

Exactly. Particularly if one has paid in full.

Bob, thanks for your always thoughtful ideas. I think we will wait until much closer to sailing before taking some action.

I know Alaska is quite financially anxious for cruise business but I would imagine that such an influx of people in early June can’t be very welcome to these relatively small towns.

The pre-cruise land program must be in jeopardy too. I can’t imagine the Harlens wanting to continue with this. I don’t really know about that as we are not participating in this.

Thanks for your input. For us at this time I’d rather take all refunds from the cruise line AND the insurance company. Let the future unfurl as it will. 🥴

Hi Bob, we are booked On this beautiful cruise as well. I am unable to come up with any way this cruise could proceed. If this cruise is cancelled is it correct to believe a total refund would be offered?

also, if the cruise is cancelled, it seems reasonable to me that a portion of the insurance premium would be refunded. I can only hope!

A Penthouse suite on the Mariner ticks all our boxes.

Wonderful post and such a nice solution.

i so agree with your last sentence!

Yes, that’s the original purpose. I thought the benefit of protecting you from yourself was kind of novel.

Masks hinder you from unconsciously touching your face and mouth as much as you normally do.

As this thread approaches the end of the fourth page, I am reminded of Drib’s First Law of Thread Length. From now on it will be repetitive. Perhaps energy can be spent on some new interesting topic. 

Best post ever!

I had dental pain at sea but waited until the next day when we arrived in London..The ship was not equipped for dental care. If I remember correctly, as this was about five years ago, the medical office would charge you to give you a recommendation for a dentist in port.

I phoned my personal dentist at home and he was helpful so that I could wait until we got home. Whew...that was a close call and something we think about when we cruise. When one gets to a certain age or has some chronic conditions this becomes a bigger factor in deciding where to go.
