Creator's Key Takeaways

first of all if the cruise line cancels your cruise secondly if you decide you want to cancel cruise that is still currently scheduled to run

they will refund automatically any add-on cost so if you've paid for gratuities excursions flights whatever that will be refunded in cash pretty much as soon as they can

if you do want to cancel your cruise you will get some incentives in future cruise credit however with the thing changing so fast if you do have the ability to hold on

I would say basically wait what most cruise lines are offering which is very important is their cruise with confidence

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wait for the cruise line to cancel your cruise to get the best options and most amount of options.
If you need cash or are concerned about the future of cruise lines, cancel now and request the cash option.
If you have cruises later in the year, wait and see how the whole cruising process moves.

YouTube Video Description

In my second cruise shutdown questions series, I talk about the 3 different situations as regards cruise cancellations and refunds - and what your options and the implications are. There are three key areas that viewers have been asking me for thoughts on around: (1) what if the cruise line cancels your cruise due to the shutdown and extensions to the dates of the shutdown, (2) what if you want to cancel cruises in the next few months up, up to July or September (varies by cruise line) and (3) should you and what happens if you want to cancel cruises for later in the year. Your options and what happens differs based on these different situations and I explore and explain these. I will keep making and posting these cruise shutdown question series as long as viewers find them helpful and send me questions. Please email me or leave your questions in the comments. I do not plan to post regular cruising videos until there is light at the end of the tunnel and travel and cruising is appropriate, recommended and advisable to do again.
