Kicked off 5/24/21 Tahiti- it's chartered!

Hard to have 3 cruises canceled. I'm guessing that one of them was COVID related but curious. Were the others also charters/changes of itinerary?

Can't quibble with getting bumped from this sailing and rebooking a different date. Not only did WS give us a big discount on the new date (the special time sensitive low FP fares to begin with), just discovered today they also gave us a FCC. Really a more than fair deal.

In the past I’ve had three cruises canceled with Windstar.  Two were chartered and for the other one, they changed the ship and the itinerary.  Never a happy situation.

First was because of dry dock delays.  Second was because of COVID.  Third was who knows why?  I couldn't really get a straight answer about it.  I saw it probably the day they posted it, called and booked it, a week later tried to find it to send a link to a friend who was interested in it, and couldn't find it.  Called them and they said it was cancelled.  That was a couple months ago and I'm still waiting for an email informing me of this.

Pretty sad and upsetting. My first cancel is not so terrible after all.

Yes, after that , I didn’t sail on Windstar again for quite some time.

We've decided to forgo the ~$200 in FCC and get our deposit back.  We're hoping to head to Europe next year, but not on a cruise.  We are going to give Windstar a few years to get their dry dock issues straightened out before we try to cruise with them again.
