Thank you for the two very helpful replies.

We are booked on a Caribbean cruise 300 days away.  We need to cancel and wonder if anyone knows how much it will cost us?  We are in the UK.

Thank you.

I’m doing the Italy, France and Corsica in a balcony room on 29th July.  
 

I’ve been looking for reviews also without any luck so far.  I’ll certainly post after the cruise but look forward to hearing of other experiences in the meantime.

Ah, bit of a balls up actually on my post, our sail date is mid August not mid November.

Anyhow many Thanks for all your replies..

I was in this position a couple of weeks ago.  Lose £2,200 or pay the remaining £7000  I just thought losing over £2000 was just too much, so paid the final balance.  Our TA has assured me that should the cruise  be cancelled we will be able to claim a full refund.

My TA has confirmed what Cariad said in an earlier post.  If I cancel my cruise now I would lose the deposit.  So, I shall wait and see if Oceania's policy changes again before I need to make the final payment in June.  

Medeba, if you look at J23's post above, she has some good news and is hoping that you will email her also.

In the UK we would not normally get the deposit back but this is not "normally" so who knows ...........................

My travel agent says normal terms and conditions apply so that would mean that we'll lose our deposit of £2,200!!!  An awful lot to lose.  I will certainly contact them again and press for a later payment date.  

Thank you all for your advice.

I'm in exactly the same position, sailing on the same date from Monte Carlo. No idea what our options are at the moment as they are usually very different in the UK.

 

Had an email from TA today stating that our final payment is due 0n 12th April (no extension there), and that normal cancellation terms are applicable.  I'm not happy about handing over another £6000 and then only getting a future cruise credit if the cruise is cancelled.  Hope you're all keeping well J.

Significantly there will be no vaccination by September or any time this year.

We have a Med cruise booked for 9th August.  We pay the final amount in May.  We don't expect to be going.  Our flights are booked separately.   We have no idea at the moment how this will pan out financially for us.

I have searched the board as best I can and looked on the Oceania website but haven't found an answer to my question.  How many times on a 10 day cruise are you allowed to make reservations at the speciality restaurants?  Also, how far in advance of the cruise is it possible to make the reservations please?  Many thanks in advance.  Just about to book for August 2020 on Sirena.

I spend a lot of time on the balcony so hope I don't get one of those. I was in 805 last time and the balcony was great, the walk wasn't too bad as the ship is small.

I've got a guarantee booked, what's wrong with 502 and 503?

Could I please ask anyone visiting Santorini to spare a thought for the poor donkeys who are treated notoriously badly. Just google it if in doubt. Please do not ride them!!!

We didn't get the marina platform or the beach barbecue, so neither are certain in the caribbean.

Thank you rallydave. I did use snail mail so I'll give it another couple of weeks before emailing Seabourn to check on progress.

Oh, thank you Chairsin. I sent the coupon to Seabourn a couple of weeks before the new passengers' final payment was due. Should I contact Seabourn and ask for another coupon, or might this one still be ok?

Do Seabourn inform both parties if the referral has been successful and roughly how long after the new passenger has paid final balance does the obc appear please?

I have a referral coupon for anyone who needs one. You can email me at irvine.ann@gmail.com.

My referral coupon has now been allocated. Good luck to all who enquired, I hope you all get a coupon.

Caridad you do not need www in front if it is an email. The address you have quoted seabournclub@seabourn.com is correct. Good luck.

Thank you so much. I think I must still be jet lagged, my brain obviously hasn't landed yet. :')

I've tried emailing Seabourn Club at www. seabournclub@seabourn.com to request a referral coupon, but the email is being returned as the recipient is not found. Does anyone have an alternative email address please?

I'm in the UK if that makes any difference, thank you.

Thank you Cool Cruiser. That's another worry to tick off the list. I'm the one with the useless TA hahaha! I'll be lucky if my pack arrives before we sail.

I've just printed our Epass for our cruise on March 31st, but the Seabourn website is not allowing me to print out our final documents. Do we really need to print these, or is the Epass sufficient to allow us to board please?

I have booked assistance via BA for both our flights so we should hopefully be ok once at the airport. Great idea for either a porter or wheelchair from Seabourn. Your advice has put my mind at rest and I can now look forward to our cruise without worrying.

Roll on March 31st and thank you all again.

We're on the BA flight. I have booked assistance at the airport as I can't walk very well so I don't know if that will make any difference. The long walk from the baggage hall sounds daunting.

Thank you so much. We'll have a word with someone at Seabourn Square as you suggest. We'll also ask the taxi driver to give us some idea of the length of journey to the airport. I don't know how I'd manage without all the brilliant advice we've been given here.

Thank you everyone.
