[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering if anyone could weigh in for me. We bought tickets on a Disney cruise for spring break early last week before the coronavirus thing got out of control. STUPID I know! Cruise is April 10 to the Caribbean.

I am still within the 2 week window for travel insurance. If I purchase it, it will cost $400, and then I’ll get my money back for cancelling for any reason (minus $900, I believe). So I will be out a total of $1300 between the cost of insurance plus the Co-pay or whatever they call it.

So what do I do? Buy the insurance? What are the chances that Disney cancels this? No way in hell am I getting on the ship. One of my kids has asthma and I do not want to screw around. [/quote]

Honestly, I think it's a pretty low chance that they'll cancel.  Worst case scenario is that they might have to cancel a port but the cruise will go on.  I am not an expert that is just my own opinion.  Take it for what you will.[/quote]

I have never seen a cruise canceled except for severe tsunamis.

The Diamond Princess, the cruise ship with a 10% Coronavirus infection rate and a mortality rate of 1% (now officially the Blood Mary ghost ship of the cruise industry), isn't even being decommissioned.

They're stripping the linens, towels, mattresses, and bedspreads. Putting the drapes and carpets through a thorough cleaning and disinfecting everything. That's it. With it taking cruise passengers again starting next month.
