Cancelling after final payment

[Frankie Sue]

Has anyone ever had to cancell a cruise after final payment? The Hal cancellation policy states that at least some of the cruise cost will be reimbursed up to 20 or some days prior to cruise date.

 

Anyone ever experience this?

HAL's policy is:

 

Cancellation Policies

For most cruises and cruisetours, a full refund (except for amounts paid for Cancellation Protection Plan) will be made for written cancellations received by Holland America, 300 Elliott Ave. West, Seattle, WA 98119 at least 76 days before the date on which you are to commence travel (by air, rail, sea or otherwise). Passengers who cancel after that date for any reason, including medical or family reasons, are subject to the following per-person cancellation fees:

75-57 days before commencing travel: an amount equal to deposit requirement

56-29 days before commencing travel: 50% of gross fare

28-16 days before commencing travel: 75% of gross fare

15 days or less before commencing travel: 100% of gross fare

 

However, if you have purchased either of HAL's Cancellation Protection Plans (Standard or Platinum) you can get back more.
