Hi Cabernet Girl

we would have to Pay an additional £820 to transfer to the February sailing which includes £400 non refundable amendment fees. I got a quote elsewhere and it would work out cheaper to book with them and cancel and lose deposit than pay this. We decided that it’s not worth paying this for another 11 weeks delay on going out cruising. I have asked them to advise what deposit money if any we would have To transfer to just a cruise going out of Southampton. Don’t think it will be much but I just don’t know whether I want to fly ,...

Hi, I would be interested to know if you are able to change fairly easily. Quite interested in the 18th Feb 2021 cruise, very similar itinerary to November.  I really don't know what to do.  My husband would go if it's sailing, but I am very nervous about the whole situation. Ideally I want them to cancel the cruise so I can hopefully get a full refund.

Princess has already canceled our Nov 23rd cruise on the Sky.  They of course have not refunded cruise deposits.

You are saying nov 23rd cancelled by Princess we are on 15th November sailing and have to pay balance by 19 July...

With the current spike in the virus in key cruise areas  and chance of this making a dramatic fall of the curve right now this cruise will be cancelled.

Fingers crossed it’s before the final balance due which I don’t think it will be... I just didn’t want all the money tied up them. We already are fighting over flight monies and hotels for breaks we were supposed to go on in April and May and I don’t want to be waiting months for a refund off Princess. 

Hi Cabernet Girl 😁

I am the same as you... just wonder if I really want to fly this year at all tbh and America sounds a lot worse than the UK regarding second outbreaks in Florida. I too would like Princess to cancel before the final balance is due and then decision is made for me and I can have my deposit refunded. 
I will put on this thread what the TA says about the February sailing when she gets back to me hopefully tomorrow. If it’s pretty much same price and most of the deposit will be transferred I would be happy to do this as final balance not then due until October. Hopefully we will know a lot more regarding the virus then.

We are booked on 15th November Sky cruise, flying in 2 days earlier to Miami from UK.  I'm 50/50 whether this will go ahead and if I want to go.  However our balance is due in July, if I cancel I lose just over a £1000 non-refundable deposit.  We booked through a cruise travel agent.  So I'm thinking it's probably best to pay and hope cruise is cancelled. I think that way I'm entitled too a full refund through the agent.  If cruise goes ahead I would probably go, or may have option to move to another next year.  However, the way Florida is looking at the moment our foreign office may advise not to travel, then I should be entitled too a full refund hopefully.  Hard to decide what to do.

Hi we are from the UK and are booked on this 15 Nov cruise same as you and we fly in two days early as well. Our final payment is due 19 July and ours is also a non refundable deposit. Our friends who were cruising for the first time have decided to not pay balance and forfeit deposit as they are too scared to travel this year regardless. I just don’t know what to do as we are still awaiting some refunds for previous flights and hotels booked for April and May just gone and the balance for this holiday is quite a bit of money. I worry about the cruise co going bust and then having to fight to get monies back. I also don’t know whether I want to fly to Florida and cruise this year... I have spoken with the TA and she is seeing if we can move Our deposit over to the 7 Feb 2021 different Caribbean itinerary which I am fine with.  She is coming Bach to me tomorrow to advise and I’ll see what extra charges would be involved. At least balance wouldn’t be due until October then. It’s so hard to make a decision I don’t want to lose our deposit but I don’t like paying the balance without good news being released about COVID... 

I know there have been several reviews of them in the past but, has anyone used White Sands Snorkel recently? I was about to book their Supreme Snorkel package and wanted to see if anyone had done that one. Someone on TA was negative about Gibbs Cay being boring but, I planned to use the time there for beach and swimming so I think we would be okay. I just wanted to make sure that we get back in time to do a little bit of shopping and maybe visit one of the beachside bars for some conch fritters. Thanks!

Hi
