Shynook11 Posted March 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2020 We are traveling with another family due to sail 3/14. They are considering cancelling for fear of the virus. We are going but was just curious if they can get their money back or apply to future sailing 13 days from sail date? I think it’s crazy to not go... no way to live life. Just curious carnivals stance on this Link to post Share on other sites
cathyz Posted March 1, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2020 At this time Carnival isn't giving refunds for fear, but maybe they have cancel for any reason insurance? Link to post Share on other sites

ozzie0075 Posted March 2, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2020 They are only give refunds if you are actually sick according to the TMZ article not for fear. I have not seen a formal communication from Carnival as of yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Shynook11 Posted March 2, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Right that’s how I read that. If I show up with a cold and they deny boarding , refund. Not just because someone is panicked. Personally I think it’s overblown at this point. We’re in Florida going to Mexico. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
1PCcruiser Posted March 2, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I’m curious as to what will happen to the Mediterranean cruises that are up coming. We are booked for the end of May but I’m thinking there will be a travel ban by then with the rate of new cases in Italy. Link to post Share on other sites
Shynook11 Posted March 2, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted March 2, 2020 If the cruise line cancels I’m sure a refund is coming. It’s the ones that aren’t affected and people freak out close to sailing im curious. Two weeks to go. No reason not to sail Link to post Share on other sites

Banditswife Posted March 5, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 5, 2020 To the original poster: I talked to our PVP today, she says Carnival is handling this on a case by case basis. If your friends decide to cancel, I would have them call whoever they booked with, you never know. I doubt they will refund, but worth a try. Link to post Share on other sites
AmBear Posted March 5, 2020 #11 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Each person has to make up their own mind about cruising/flying, etc. right now! We're not cruising until June mainly because of the virus, that's the right decision for us, others think differently. We have plenty of offers, but they'll be available next year when this calms down! That's our thinking for us! BTW we have insurance for June, and will cancel if this virus is still showing up on cruise ships! Whatever your decision, stay healthy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
fyree39 Posted March 5, 2020 #12 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I don't want to belittle fears. Heck, I think about the family reunion we're having at my house this weekend and the 40 people that are flying or driving in from out of state. If one person is sick, we're all sick and many of us are over 60 years old. So, again, I don't want to belittle any fears. Yet, we have flu pandemics every few years and this one is no different, is it? Keep your wits about you, folks! Link to post Share on other sites

We are booked for a 3/14 sail date. My only reason to not sail is the fear of a quarantine. Not a fear of the virus. But actually not being allowed off the ship on debarkation day because one random person has a fever. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
