Creator's Key Takeaways

We have never ever in 12 or 14 years of cruising, 35 plus cruises. Never have we had to cancel a cruise so close to imbarcation day

Our personal travel, we do not cruise for free. And here's the issue. We're inside final payment. We're inside 90 days. We're at the 30-day mark. And we paid $4,600 for this cruise

The penalty was $1,800. $1,800 gone. $1,800 down the drain. Uh, it is gone

Travel insurance is always a good thing. We have travel insurance. Travel insurance doesn't cover this reason. Does not cover it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider travel insurance, but note it may not cover all cancellation reasons
Be aware of penalties, especially within 30 days of sailing
Contact your cruise line early to explore options for moving or cancelling
