Interesting - I can still book a cabin on April 25 out of Seattle

[deultgen]

We are booked on the April 25, Millennium, 5 night out of Seattle.  

 

I know X would rather I cancel the cruise for their FCC but it seems odd to me that they continue to sell cabins on the cruise.  

 

Since it almost impossible for the cruise to happen since all three ports we are to visit (Astoria, OR and 2 in Canada) are closed to cruise ships among others, I would still ask......

 

What would be the advantage to X to continue to sell the cabins?

The advantage would be that they get much needed cash, since anyone booking now would have to pay in full.

Maybe you should book a cabin and hope Celebrity cancels and you get a 125% FCC at worst you will get 100% FCC up to 48 hours before the cruise if they don't cancel.

They are already booked on that sailing.

A potential danger with this strategy is what happens if Celebrity files for bankruptcy and you get little or nothing back.  Probably unlikely, but we are in uncharted times right now.
