We only book aft balconies now. DH won’t even consider a cruise unless we have an aft!

Thanks for the links. Our next cruise isn’t until April 2022, so between now and then we’ll see how everything shakes out.

Yep, it's official.

We got our official notice from Princess last night that our 'round Australia cruise on the Sea Princess has been cancelled. We really like the ship, and we're sad to see her go.

I guess Princess is telling us something without telling us. 🙃

Interesting that Princess shows that all cruises on the Sea Princess are sold out until October 2021.

The area in So. Calif. where Princess headquarters are, is experiencing several large wildfires. The heat wave and thunderstorms may be complicating the problem.

Turn around time depends on how many elites are on the ship. They also get complementary laundry. We’re elite and have been sailing in suites for the last few years. On one cruise, it took a minimum of three days to get ours back. IMHO, best to take 4 pairs of pants. They don’t take much room in the suitcase.

My understanding is that if Princess cancelled a cruise, and gift cards were applied to the cruise balance or OBC, they will put the funds back onto your original gift card to be used later. The question for me is, will they also put back $ onto the bonus cards that are now expired. And will they then extend the expiration date?

I’m in the same situation. Booked with FCD and then paid several thousand dollars with gift cards. I still had a balance due, and final payment was scheduled for July. I’m not clear if any FCC or refund applies to me.

Never cleaned out my cache. The changed just happened.

FInally, today when log into Princess, the Health Advisory has eliminated III on page 2. Why do some people get the latest updates sooner than others? Inquiring minds want to know.

Tried on MAC Chrome and iPad Safari and both show III. d9704011, when I click on your link it also shows III. I don’t understand why it’s different than what you see. BTW I rarely use the MAC desktop, so I don’t think it is in the cache. Very strange, but I must admit, I’m not as computer literate as a lot of people.

Check your link. It still has item III.

Always ask the tour operator first. If they’re unwilling to refund your money, check your travel insurance policy. I once booked a tour billed as non refundable even if the ship didn’t dock. After emailing them, they finally agreed to a refund. My insurance policy would have covered it if they had not.
