Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted April 13 #1 Share Posted April 13 I just requested a refare on a little 7 day Rome to Barcelona Wind Spirit sailing for this fall. I will lose $100 pp OBC but gain the All In package, grats, WiFi and drinks, at no additional charge. IOW my cruise fare is the same but now I have the All In. The sale lasts thru June and seems to apply to many (if not all?) 2024 sailings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IpswichChris Posted April 15 #2 Share Posted April 15 Yes, I saw this offer on Windstar website. My husband and I are booked on a cruise at the end of October 2024 and were planning to purchase an All-In package for me closer to sailing date. We purchased a somewhat expensive "cancel for any reason" insurance policy from Allianz, and that is non-refundable. So will have to figure out calculations as to whether it makes financial sense for us to cancel and re-book with the same level of insurance coverage. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking it won't make sense and we'll stick with our original booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience with Allianz is that policies can be rolled forward. I've even done it to completely different trips, so there should be no problem moving it to a re-booking of the same itinerary. [Unless it was purchased through the cruise line, which may affect the T&C] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll call Allianz & if insurance is transferrable to a new booking, I’ll see what cabins are available if I cancel & rebook👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same booking number. So there is no need to cancel and rebook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hadn't made final payment yet and more than 180 days from sailing, so it worked😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
