Waycoolrob Posted March 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I about 98% sure April 18th Symphony cruise will be cancelled, I am looking at June 6th for same Ship. So too soon? Do you all think I should push back a little further? Open to all suggestions WCR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted March 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2020 My opinion...too soon 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayneHL Posted March 22, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Considering the US has not hit the peak of Covid 19, I would say June too soon to book, personally I will not book until Spring/Fall 2021. Just my thoughts 😉 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted March 22, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Someone on my currently booked cruise got a cancel notice from a hotel in Galveston that they will be closed thru sometime in June. I'm hoping august or September and I seem to be considered a optimist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted March 22, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I would be pleasantly surprised if cruise ships are sailing again by August. Obviously a lot can change in the next few months, but as of right now I don’t see any cruise line returning to operations within the next 3-4 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever they do start up, probably half full. And likely not all ports will accept them. Edited March 22, 2020 by bouhunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted March 22, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2020 What do I think of June? I think it's a lovely month. Would love for it to be a cruising month since we have one May 29th but sadly not sure that is going to happen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compman9 Posted March 22, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The British government is still in the 'asking the public' to do the right thing phase This won't work of course, so eventually we will have a total lockdown From then it will be 12 weeks minimum I would guess end of July the earliest imaginable time for a cruise for British people - I would guess it will be later for US folk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalC Posted March 22, 2020 #15 Share Posted March 22, 2020 A precedent never seen before has been set a few weeks ago with a "few" diagnosed cases relatively speaking to the entire population. You will have more cases as testing increases. The precedent would dictate that you have almost zero chance of cruising in June, and probably later. The ripple effect will be like nothing anyone has seen before, maybe if you lived through the depression? I know people already losing their business because of this, and of course their employees. All you can do is sit back and wait, and stay safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one here knows any better than you do. I never saw this coming 2 weeks ago. So to guess when things will be better is foolish. Hang onto your money. You may need it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean so much has accelerated in just 10 days when President closed Europe travel. Already lost my cruisr to Italy in May. I am even wondering about my cruise to Norway in June from Amsterdam as well as to Iceland in August. Oh well right. Hoping 3 of my fall cruises to Alaska and Mexico and in Nov to N Zealand will be ok. If not, then all 9 of my cruises out the door. Might be left with just a trip to see the Mouse place. Was suppose to be a banner year for me turning 65. Oh well. With folks dying or losing their jobs, I will hunker down and look at photos of past vacations and say my prayers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted March 22, 2020 #21 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I was feeling a bit more optimistic a few days ago and booked 4 nights on the Mariner on June 15. I calculated that a 30-day extension plus another 30-day extension would end around June 9. I don’t mind having a relatively small amount of money held as a FCC, and I figured that Coco Cay isn’t going to turn the ship away. If Nassau does, two days at Coco Cay would suit us just fine. It is important to us to have something to look forward to, and we both felt better after booking. Now, though, just a few days later, I am not as optimistic. Not to the point of canceling, though, we are keeping this booking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that Royal has control of Coco Cay. And we think we stand a better chance of actual going there than to some of the other islands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasK Posted March 22, 2020 #24 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I am booked for a May 17 cruise out of Galveston on the Liberty. I think this will be too soon for the virus to be gone and we will need to cancel. I am looking at a November 14 cruise on the Odyssey. We planned to fly on Southwest and they allow 6 months for the next flight, so I would need to cancel before May 17 and book a flight before November 17. I guess we can book the November flight and then cancel if the virus is still prevalent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather a straight refund than 125% fcc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
