Horizon chaser 1957 Posted May 22, 2020 #278 Share Posted May 22, 2020 On 5/20/2020 at 9:51 AM, mrtrthompson said: The survey we received was not a survey of your recent cruise experience, but what are you thinking about going forward. Are you willing to air travel to get to a port for a cruise? Are ports on this list you would not take a cruise from? They did give a space (2000 key strokes) for comments and that's where I addressed the current unknowns (where's my luggage) that will guide my decisions. My main response was the need for transparency and more communication vs silence. Hmm.... given those questions, any chance the survey went only to those who don’t have to fly to Fort Lauderdale? We have to fly there from Vancouver, and Captain Ricky flies in from Alaska, so those particular questions are answered before they’re even asked.

Mine was a generic how did you like your cruise, I would love to get a chance to answer some of those questions. I would love to have some input to the planning of the 2022 GWV, where to, even where from (leaving from both coasts?) Was the survey on line with a link?

We all had the opportunity to complete a 2022 GWV survey while onboard this year's world cruise. It included four possible itineraries, and several questions related to preferred ports, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't get one and we've never flown to a cruise in all our years of cruising with HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, for instance, a world cruise that picks up on both coasts may be an innovation they want to consider., or add on cruises that can carry us to and from the west coast on both ends. Also, with several ports I wanted to visit canceled I have a different wish list for 2020 that I had when I filled in the survey and assumed I would see places and things that we missed. So, yeah, I want the new survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare The-Inside-Cabin Posted May 22, 2020 #283 Share Posted May 22, 2020 My guess is they will cnx the 2021 world cruise and run the current 2021 itinerary in 2022. I am pretty optimistic but I think any cruise over 14 days will be considered high risk for a while. I suspect they will run more round trip "bubble" cruises in 2021 rather than long point to points. Probably nothing longer than 14 days. They need to think how they can better firewall their ships if there is another flare up. Might even restrict sailings to citizens of the departure port for a while. That way it would be harder for FLL to refuse entry if ship is 100pct US citizens. Or med cruises are nothing but EU citizens. Already hearing that Australia and NZ are building a travel bubble.

Captain Ricky Posted May 23, 2020 #285 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The credit for our refund appeared in our credit card account today. Holland America was good at it's word, within 60 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was informed by my bank (BOA) when asked about a big credit balance being posted soon, they said do NOT attempt to move it to your back account because it would generate a trigger for a cash advance. Just what I was told, may not be the case for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice, but I think they (BOA) want me to give back all of the points I got for booking the cruise on my credit card. Big bonus for us if we get a check...!!

I actually inquired BEFORE the cruise, in case I had to cancel for some reason. USAA told me that a refund check would be issued for the credit balance. A friend had the same answer from AMEX.
