molecrochip Posted September 17, 2020 #501 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I’m led to believe multiple videos were produced to cover various scenarios. But decision was finally confirmed yesterday. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef112 Posted September 17, 2020 #503 Share Posted September 17, 2020 @molecrochip do you think it would be wrong for us to assume that Iona's maiden voyage would be G106 on 6th March - if there is no futher pause? It's the first advertised Iona listing on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neecy1 Posted September 17, 2020 #504 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hi all. Has anyone managed to get a refund from Holiday Inn Cruise and Stay. We transferred it from a cancelled April booking to next Feb but that's been cancelled now. It says non refundable. Just wondered with it being exceptional circumstances. Thanks.

Fair enough...I feel sorry for the camera operator having to listen to him more than once. 🥴 Still doesn't excuse the 90 day payment term. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee-ess Posted September 17, 2020 #509 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Does anyone think that any of the Caribbean cruises will run in just Feb and Mar 2021. We are due to go on Azura on Feb 20th and will be due to pay balance at end on Nov and would rather know before then if it is going or not. Think I would rather they just cancel the season as I think it is unlikely to go and it would save paying the balance. I would move it but have no slots left in 2021 to move it to.

There just be a glimmer of hope, otherwise I guess they'd have just cancelled everything through to March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennizor Posted September 17, 2020 #513 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Cruisenewbie, in the email I received from P & O it says that Caribbean cruises are cancelled up to the end of January. You may be going, if that’s what you want. Our Iona cruise in February is cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted September 17, 2020 #514 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I guess there is no surprise in this, I think most of thought this would be the most likely outcome that there would be no further cruises in 2020. I suspect when they do restart it will be a limited number of ships involved, so likelihood is that cruises until late spring could be subject to cancellation. I suspect Carnival would be seeking a negative Covid test taken within 48 hours of departure and given the mess the testing system is in now that the Government could guarantee that was possible given that only those with symptoms can have a test. As Richard E Grant said a couple of days ago “Please can someone explain to me why, when you land in Rome, there is a swift and well organised COVID test, with the result given 30 minutes later, yet we don’t have this in the UK?” until we can get to that level of testing then travelling overseas is going to become a bit of a lottery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Anarchy Posted September 17, 2020 #515 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I must admit I don't see the point of keeping what's left of the Caribbean season. Chug over empty, to run only a few cruises and come back, what 6/7 weeks later? I suppose the bean counters have done the sums and at the end of the day that's what counts. Mind you if they cut the Caribbean season, but Azura re-positions from Southampton to Valletta, I think we would give consideration to going on that.

My understanding is that the current quick response test is only about 70% accurate, which might be OK as a placebo for travellers, but offers no real assurance that you are not infected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw mention of the video but hadn't seen it. he waffled for a long time before mentioning the cancellations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
