My TA a confirmed neither she nor the HO of her company had had any prior notice , she found out when we told her what was on here. She has been in touch with Explora high ups and made her feelings known! This communication farrago on top of the the dubious business practices we’ve seen have really made us very wary of this line. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hencoll Posted September 8, 2023 #55 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Today I saw a partial refund posted to my credit card. The amounts are equal to my two original deposits. The remaining balance amount that I paid in full on August 25th has not been refunded yet. Hopefully, I will see that processed next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitob Posted September 9, 2023 #59 Share Posted September 9, 2023 According to my ta, no one need worry about refunds. Explora is well funded 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare travelberlin Posted September 12, 2023 Author #60 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I am happy to report that I have received today my refund. It took less than 10 days. Happy sailings everyone. I am now leaving the Explora Forum because I do not have any cruise booked with them. I am busy booking with other companies 😉 Ivi 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizepuppy@gmail.com Posted September 20, 2023 #61 Share Posted September 20, 2023 This is indeed worrisome. I was ready to pay the 5% discount if paid in full, on a Panama Canal Cruise departing May 24, 2024 for 7 nights. In your respected opinions, should I not do this? Thank you!

Not sure a 5% saving to pay a year in advance is worth it these days. You can make almost that with an online bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
