Canx'd June 2020 Star Princess Alaska Cruise

It is all about personal choice. what works for one cruiser may not work for another. Personally, I am taking the refund.

Boils down to, if you plan to take a cruise in the future then the FCC looks flexible enough that it is a no brainer ... but ... if you are uncertain about the future or the liquidity of the cruise line then the full refund makes more sense.

So many places that rely on tourist dollars are hurting. Alaska is such a beautiful place and hopefully will recover quickly. Unfortunately it will probably take quite a while because of the limited season. Fingers crossed that this pandemic doesn't ruin too many places.

KENN...cut it out ol buddy...you'll be afloat eventually just like the rest of us.

As far as the pic goes, obviously they were enjoying themselves at that moment..but the pic COULD"VE been that good ol waste of time lifeboat drill on virtually any ship, or the mdr, or or or...which doesn't bode well for our fav form of profligate spending.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! and quit grousing...consider the alternative....just remember to breath IN after you breathe OUT!

Good information! My take home message is: hindsight is always 20-20. What they could have done with the information they had, was the same as what many cities had that did even less than the cruise lines. I am sadden by the number of people infected and the number of crew that haven't been able to go home. Surely the industry is taking a hit and will probably do so for some time. It is interesting that the article only zeroed in on Carnival Corporation. I wonder how the other corporations are coping. My guess is they are all going to have similar problems. Again thanks, Kennicott!

KENN...its a rare thing that I'll stop and READ...and I do mean READ, something that long unless I'm actually involved...and those days are long over...but THIS is different. I would respectfully suggest everyone in here READ it. and acknowledge it with a thumbs up. I'm sending it all over. I paid particular attention to el boss doing damage control with what can only be described as "lame" statements...I was wondering how they would entice loan facilities, now I know. What you don't know, or refuse to acknowledge, may actually kill you, or run you out of $$..THANKS!
