Oceania extends cancellation date

[ffnole]

We have a cruise that departs Barcelona May 13....so 76 days from today. Today the cancellation penalty is 25%. Tomorrow it will increase to 50%. Unless of course the cruise is cancelled and then we would receive a 100% refund. Oceania agreed this morning in writing to push out the 25% penalty cancellation date for two weeks to March 13. That buys a couple of weeks to determine the lay of the land.....and also to see if the cruise is cancelled. We really were looking forward to this vacation....but I can’t afford the risk of being quarantined on a ship with important work obligations I need to attend to immediately after the cruise. Thought this would be helpful if you are in a similar situation. At least they showed some flexibility.

 If you are  concerned  I would cancel  if you are not in penalty phase

It does not seem to be getting any better  around the world  & no one has a crystal ball where the virus will impact  what Country next

Our cruise is early Sept. and I've marked my calendar to look at it at the 0% penalty and again a month later when it's $250pp. That's May and June and hopefully they'll have a better idea of what's happening.

ffnole:  Has Oceania just extended the cancellation period for you?  Or is this for everyone who is booked on Oceania? Is it possible to copy here what Oceania has written to you? Appreciate the info!
