      Check out the cancellation or cancel administration fees.
      I cancelled a cruise a couple of weeks ago and although the cruise line have me 100% refund I was slugged $300 cancel admin fee.

      • Joxer on 13/03/2020 - 16:15

        depending on the cruise line some offer the cancel fee as credit towards a future cruise. I would certainly ask them about it, RC are doing that.

    Very cheap, but for a reason. You couldn't pay me to board one of these floating incubators in the current situation.

    • ickyboo on 13/03/2020 - 09:26

      You couldn't pay me even before the pandemic, it's a incubator for gastro and other viruses.

    I only ask politely that everyone considering booking holidays on cruise ships to do some research on their impact to the environment specially around the types of fuel they use, how they dispose of their waste and the regulations around the industry

    Not sure if we can link videos here but there is plenty online to get your teeth into

    Usually I'd feel sorry about an entire global industry going bankrupt but cruise ships are horrific for the environment sooo I guess I'm ambivalent.

  • Daniel Plainview on 13/03/2020 - 08:38

    Amazed it has 4+ votes. Talk about the definition of optimism posting this up now, even govt bodies are warning people to specifically NOT take cruises, I think the price could be much lower and still there'd be only very marginally higher demand. Funny thing is in a pandemic, people don't want to be stuck in a tightly packed tin can with loads of other people.

    Australian Government advisory re cruises is here:
    https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/before-you-go/getting-aroun…

    In part, it states "…to reconsider taking an overseas cruise at this time - particularly if you have underlying health concerns."

  • bob19 on 13/03/2020 - 09:10

    Why do they still list islands in the itinerary which have already been closed? Isn't it deceptive?

    • FLICKIT on 13/03/2020 - 09:21

      Yep, very deceptive IMO… The agents posting these deal here and listing closed ports in their description is just slimy!,

    On the other hand, a cruise to get away from everyone who has COVID-19?

    • ickyboo on 13/03/2020 - 09:28

      Well, Considering they was one of the first to spread it.. I don't know.

    Mystery Island

    Would that be Christmas Island?

  • Fiximol on 13/03/2020 - 10:38

    Given that Princess just announced they are shutting shop for 60 days, completely possible that Carnival, which owns princess in their umbrella, would follow.

    I would not recommend any international travel, by any means, right now, simply to avoid yourself potential logistical headaches.

    Travel insurance companies are no longer covering coronavirus.

    Do the Cruise Coronavirus mathematics:

    1. No Insurance

    +

    1. Coronavirus on board

    +

    1. Helicopter evacuation to intensive care of at least USD $5k/day (bed only) + medical treatment costs.

    +

    1. Quarantine and other costs

    =

    1. Potential bankruptcy.

    Enjoy your cruise …

    • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2020 - 18:10

      Travel insurance companies are no longer covering coronavirus.

      Actually they sneakily exclude pandemics or epidemics they declared this a pandemic before the WHO. I have mates who booked a cruise last year, they were told they're not covered. So if they do go on the cruise in a few weeks, they're not covered for any covid-19 related incidents. Asked if they can then cancel & get a refund. Apparently they can lodge a claim and they'll find out…about 6-8wk after the cruise departs.
      Flight centre who sold the cruise & insurance said, we can reschedule for a fee, but no refunds.

      You buy insurance to cover you against the unexpected.

    I had two invitations in a week from Australian Seniors for European boat cruises.I replied that I thought these invitations untimely and irresponsible,especially given the target market and politely requested a reply.None was forthcoming….should change their name to Ostrich Seniors.

    Because of the uncaring nature of this post in the present circumstances, I was going to cast my first neg vote on this post, but I couldn't bring myself to do it

    For years, on this forum and others, I have railed against Cruse Lines' greed, causing insufficient time for proper disinfection of ships between cruises

    There is no way that lines like Princess, P and O and others, with their laissez faire attitude to hygiene could forestall corona virus…. they haven't been able to do it with nora virus or gastro or a host of other maladies.

    I believe that taking an overseas cruise with the situation as it stands on closures and increasing infections, is either extremely brave or extremely dumb.

    At this time and although we all have right to to make an honest buck, the people who offer holidays, of all sorts, when nothing can be guaranteed, are arseholes.

    • davidem on 14/03/2020 - 13:42

      I agree.
      Bearing in mind nationwide WHS obligations, which don’t just encompass work, apply here.
      Surely, this will open up for class actions when travel warnings and general population awareness of current COVID-19 abounds?

    Not cheap enough in the face of closed ports and global pandemics.

      I'm with you even the government has said no oversea's unnecessary travel and I'm sure that especially on cruise liners .

  • tunzafun001 on 14/03/2020 - 12:15

    On the flipside, we are all probably going to get Corona, and I can't think of a better situation then having it with a personalised butler service and all your meals made for you. However, be fit and healthy as a medical officer onboard is $$$. A nice upsell.

    Perhaps the cruise lines need to pivot and become the Corona experience (with free $500 onboard medical credit).

  • FLICKIT on 14/03/2020 - 17:55

    Carnival pause all Aussie services for a month, this cruise will not happen !
