Cruise cancelled

[Costa cruizie]

I got a call last night from Pietro in Italy for Costa Cruises cancelling my cruise.  It's now Monday morning and I will need to leave to go to the airport to catch my scheduled flight to Singapore. My problem is that I have not received any formal notification of the cancellation and the website says nothing about it. I feel that I need an sms message, email, travel agent input, or something to corroborate the phone call in case it was a hoax call. Where do I stand if I miss my flight and then find that things have not been formally cancelled?

If it's the Costa Fortuna from Singapore, it's definitely cancelled. They just called me and I have received the e-mail. Don't fly! The e-mail will come.

Costa cancelled my cruise and is offering a full refund or 30% discount on any future Cruise upto November 2020

Big difference between a full refund and a 30% discount. That doesn't sound like a very comparable offer, especially if you have to take a replacement cruise before 2020.  The full refund sounds by far the best option...

I have only 30 days to find a cruise and claim the 30% discount

if I don't reply within 30 days they will automatically give me a full refund

Can you post some sort of written info on this.  My Mom called about her 4/14 cruise that has been cancelled by Costa, and they told her NO refund, FCC Only.  And it has to be used in a year, but they are not doing the Holy Land itinerary next year.

I had only paid a deposit
