Creator's Key Takeaways

I my sense is that certainly those are probably more secure but if you're feeling notice what I'm saying to people is if you are nervous and you have the ability to then get a cash refund of course that's what you should be doing

I would also say if you're nervous or you're worried about your finances you know think really carefully before booking a cruise with the cruise with confidence because you won't have the option of taking your cash

certainly my gut feeling is that the big companies well in some wake keep moving along

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wait for the cruise line to cancel to get cash refund option
Pay with credit card for built-in protection if companies go bust
Think carefully before booking under 'cruise with confidence' as it limits refund options

YouTube Video Description

In the third in my cruise shutdown Q&A videos, I give my thoughts on a number of questions following on from my last video about refund options (https://youtu.be/BEadOjDRwAA ) about the viability of cruise lines from the shutdown, which is currently looks like being expanded with some lines already announcing, others due to make announcements and some regions like Canada and New Zealand closing ports until July, and Australia closing ports until June. Many people have asked for thoughts on the viability of cruise lines as they have concerns about getting refunds and advisability of taking future cruise credits, and if they are likely to get bailouts you assist through the impact of the shutdown.
