Help my DH see that it’s the only logical and ethical thing to do.

I am more likely to rebook. Up until now, I was in the "we're going unless the cruise is cancelled" camp. Now I'm more prone to cancel and rebook - we may do the same cruise next Spring break. But I'm going to see what the next couple weeks hold.

Just keep an eye on it. Hawaii might give me pause since the cruise ship that is currently quarantined off the coast of SF went there during this cruise so passengers could have spread the virus in port.

The company announced Friday that anyone cruising through July 21 can now cancel their cruise up to 48 hours in advance. Guests who choose this option will receive a "future cruise credit" good for a future cruise through 2021.


I cruise often, so I won’t lose my money. I will reschedule.


How far out are you going to reschedule? I'm worried it won't be that much better in the future.

How did the father NOT KNOW? Not sure I buy it. Have friends on a ski trip nearby there right now and DO know.


Rumor on the street here in LA is that this was part of a larger group of dads/sons and they all live in different states and have all flown home (and that they all likely have it). We'll see how this develops.

I'd probably go. My big fear is quarantine which is less likely on a trip like this.


I'd be good quarantined in Boston.

I wonder how much money the cruise lines will bank on people 'forgetting' they have the credits, waiting until the last minute to book and not getting the vacation time they need to take it in specific months.
