I am due to leave in 2 weeks and will monitor another week and decide We leave tomorrow and plan to get on the ship. That's one option. The other is lose everything that other insurance won't cover.

I thought that seemed obvious. If they are inside 48 hours, the new policy doesn't apply to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talljules1 Posted March 6, 2020 #32 Share Posted March 6, 2020 We see this as good news and a "well done, Celebrity" moment. We have 2 cruises in Norway booked - May and August. Our intention is to go if the cruises happen. We hope that -X- will not cancel the Europe season, though posts on these boards have raised a fear that they will. (Note that other then postponing the naming ceremony of Apex, -X- have given no indication at all that they intend to cancel the Europe sailing and I am mindful that surely cancelling the SE Asia AND Europe seasons would put them in a precarious position). Our May cruise is all paid up. This gives us some hope that at least if that cruise is cancelled we will get the money back to apply to another cruise. My personal suspicion is that by then the virus will be everywhere and it won't matter, because once it is everywhere there is no point trying to contain it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bebe08 Posted March 6, 2020 #33 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This is good news. We have an April cruise booked and plan to go as of now....but happy to know this is an option. We booked our air thru Celebrity as well. Does anyone know how that will be handled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroubleT Posted March 6, 2020 #34 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Bravo Celebrity! We will take FCC since we cruise all the time and we are not planning on quiting cruising. But WHAT A RELIEF!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Gal Posted March 6, 2020 #35 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I just found the new policy on Royal's website, not Celebrity's yet. This makes me feel so much more comfortable knowing we will not lose from our Apex B/B cruises in April which were all paid up. Now that the naming ceremony has been postponed, I figured that Celebrity was very concerned about the European cruises for this spring. Hats off to Celebrity for changing their policies.

I just got a notice from Regency (part of Carnival) that they will give the 100% fcc for all cruises departing through 11/1/20. Since we're scheduled for a European cruise in late August, I'm still not comfortable with RCCL's July deadline. Hopefully the virus will subside by then or X will extend the cancellation date beyond July. I will have to deal with our air separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogofman Posted March 6, 2020 #37 Share Posted March 6, 2020 what a relief, will be considering moving to cruise later in 2020 or early 2021 the worry for us was not just the ship but also the travel from the UK, and the possibility of the cruise not arriving at the departure port, or finding us Quarantined without being able to get back to UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new policy applies to Celebrity sailings as well. I just emailed my TA and she is handling all the cancellations for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFMilesJunkie Posted March 6, 2020 #39 Share Posted March 6, 2020 since a lot of close in cruises have had some nice price drops and included perks, will they allow cancel and re-book a cruise you still plan to take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to get over the “containment” phase so we can move on with our lives. Chance of containment is so almost nonexistent at this point, so we are wasting a ton of money and massive disruption in lives on a lost cause. We need to focus on therapies, prevention, and vaccines at this point. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a year is optimistic. 18-24 months even with fast tracking from the govt and FDA is my best guess. To get something like that on the market in that 18-24 months would be impressive. A year would be a near miracle. Clinical trials take a ton of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_dream Posted March 6, 2020 #48 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I guess a good thing overall. The only downside I see is that those of us who want to tough it out so to speak but may have to cancel last minute may find our options next year much pricier than if we just give up now and rebook. Tough decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel very confident that will NOT be the case going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
