If that turns out to be true then I believe Pinotlover owns me a 49ers face mask as per my offer (or $100 as per his offer) 😀 Edited July 24, 2020 by Paulchili 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see any cruises leaving US ports not happening they cannot get the virus under control on land so how will cruise ships be able to sail with Americans onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other assigned Agent in that Agency will probably be on the same terms. Thanks for this, pinot; I guess he is. He did phone me yesterday and told me that he had in fact received a small commission on that March Sirena cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JRIH Posted July 25, 2020 #110 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I just saw that Princess cruises has changed their dates. They are pausing all cruises in and out of Australia until October 31. Everywhere else, except Europe, is paused until December 15. I don't know why Europe is exempted, but it was not mentioned on the list of places. I bet the rest of the cruise lines will not be far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? they waitlist the FULL RTW cruise until the date they open the rest to segmenters It avoids people booking cabins willy nilly so the RTW ers do not have to change cabins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthomas Posted July 28, 2020 Author #113 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Just got an email from my agent telling us that Oceania has extended our full payment from 90 to 60 days for this Dec 20, 2020 sailing ...but need to know what the date would be without having to pay the $250 admin fee....so asked her the question. Originally it was cancel before Aug 15, NO admin fee...now with thirty days later, should be Sept 15..will see what she answers... I expected O to be cancelling it, not extending final payment. Wonder why they are stalling. I still think nothing will be sailing. This cruise is Miami to Miami. We all know what is going on in Florida. Can things change very quickly. I hope so, but dont think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthomas Posted July 29, 2020 Author #115 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Unfortunately we cant wait. Our time up will be mid Aug to cancel and not incur a penalty. I guess O will cancel one month at a time. If we had FCCs we would also wait of course. Too bad, such a good cruise. Is there anyone here who will make final payment that does not have FCCs?

You will be missed, jonthomas. BUT if it's not cancelled, you can always rebook and come along for the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "if it's not cancelled". My Hope is based on HOPE, nothing more, nothing less. It might also be called optimism. If it is cancelled, there are other cruises out there I'm looking at, keeping my options open. Signed, Donna, the eternal optimist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaminkokid Posted October 14, 2020 #121 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I got an email from Oceania saying the December 20 cruise on the Riviera was canceled. I emailed my t.a. about refunds. She answered me back that the cruise was NOT (yet) canceled. I sent a message on the Oceana site asking whether or not it's canceled, but they have not responded. It's been a couple of days. Doesn't look good, doesn't sound good, doesn't smell good. And btw the oceania email made no mention of a 20% bonus for taking the credit instead of the cash. But I don't care too much about that at the moment. I canceled our hotel and air for the trip. I haven't rebooked because I haven't heard back from Oceania. What do you think folks? What's your crystal ball say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted October 15, 2020 #124 Share Posted October 15, 2020 A question for any of those booked on the 12/20 Riveria cruise: Has Oceania offered any cooking classes or LaReserve nights to date for that cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msears101 Posted October 15, 2020 #125 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yes. I just logged in and they are both listed and I am able to reserve both. Is there specific info you would like me to check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
