Absolutely! You better believe it.

What does this do to the world cruise?  We are on the June 11 cruise and we have heard nothing about a cancellation.

Sorry I should have posted this also..didnt know there were any ATW cruisers here

 

Insignia’s Around the World voyage will operate a revised itinerary that charts a southerly course for Australia and New Zealand before heading across the South Pacific to Polynesia and Hawaii and concludes in California and New York on the original schedule. Guests that were scheduled to disembark in Singapore or Tokyo have been offered alternative arrangements that are being individually communicated. Guests sailing on the full world cruise have been provided goodwill compensation in addition to the Future Cruise Credit they received last week.

Well, it appears on list of cancelled tours.

I suspect you will hear in time what they will offer instead - looks like Insignia is not going the "Asian: route.

if the cruise has cancelled, insurance will cover the airlines if they do not refund, I would think

Good point. I wonder if insurance would cover this. While policies vary, it would be helpful if someone posted their experience.

Trust me - Jan is about as "inside" as you can get.

 

If she said it - it's true.

 

Thank you, Jan!

A lot of Worldies are going to be disappointed as the Japan, Russian Far East and Alaska segments were the highlights..

 

Me too now to find an alternative for May/June.

Can the 25% credit be used for a 2020 cruise that has already been booked but not yet paid for, other then the deposit ?

 

Will there be any segments of the new AWC itinerary made available to those on the cancelled segments?

Should this be in quotes or is it from you?

Perhaps she should put it in quotes with a link to the actual whatever.

It's hard to post a link when it may be a phone call with one of the "bosses".

Take my word for it, if you hear it from Jancruz, you can take it to the bank.😊

I know I have asked this before, but how do you know this? It's almost like you are saying "take it the the bank when I say that you can take it to the bank that Jancruz said it"

Clearly this wasn't "said" to her. Too much detail. I'm not overtly criticizing her just suggesting that she give the source. Certainly she wasn't told to not repeat it or she wouldn't have.

I will let Jancruz explain this, if she wishes to. But, yes, you CAN take it to the bank.😊

I've been cruising on Oceania frequently since 2006 and have learned a few things over the years.

I was suspended for telling Jan’s occupation many years ago.

It's much more than her occupation. as you probably know very well.

I'd listen to Paul when he says you should listen to Jan. 🤐

I would think yes to both questions

 Ask your TA  if you use one  or call Oceania

I hear you😀

When Jan posts such a detailed response, in italics, I take that as a quote from what she has seen officially. Don't question her information. As many of us have said so far, she does know what she is talking about!

So if I may ask how do you know this? Is is because her "insider" posts have always been accurate before or you have spoken with someone who has confirmed this or what? You don't have to tell us exactly who she is or what she does because that seems to be quite "confidential"..

I wouldn't touch that with a 6 ft pole - it's Jancruz's story to tell (or not), IMO.

Is it really not good enough for you to believe that she is well informed and trustworthy?
