Correct, just the £400 “Non refundable deposit” which I’m hoping becomes refundable if they cancel the cruise , I think the balance is due early July.

I'm not sure if the corporation could survive another block of cancellations after the ones announced today. They will have redundancy payments to pay out too.

Have not contacted anyone since, only had the generic email last week saying request confirmed, cheque arrived in post this afternoon, day 64. No Logic to it all but result in the end, hope everyone receives the money they are owed. Waiting now for Celebrity to cancel our October cruise & start the wait clock all over again. Good news you have your refund now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no such thing as a “non refundable deposit” Don’t let them convince you otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pager thank you Posted June 2, 2020 #3187 Share Posted June 2, 2020 8 hours ago, PandNo Refund said: All the FCCs will be useless if there’s 7 months worth of passengers trying to get booked onto future holidays. Sod trying to find one of those; their booking system will hike the prices even more now presumably - despite nobody knowing what the quality of these new cruise holiday experiences will be. The key thing for those who are happy to (or can't be bothered with the inexorable hassle of the refund wait) is to see what are the baseline prices in the 2022 / 2023 brochure. By then normality may be restored. If they are not 25% or more than the same for the 2020, then this FCC offer might be interesting to some. If they are more than 25% higher than there is absolutely no point to taking a FCC; pay twice, pay more, get less. But you won't know until the brochure launches. If the difference is more than 25%, you might as well put the money back in your account / cruise fund and wait for prices to fall, either on P&O or your preferred alternative.

Agree - a certain irony when he took the time to thank the guests who had sent him messages of support. Obviously hasn't been checking official Facebook and Twitter recently. However, that was a better video attempt in my opinion, he's getting a bit of practice unfortunately! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom10 Posted June 2, 2020 #3192 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I have contacted Cunard via Facebook about my double refund and said that "due to unprecedented times you might have to wait 60+ days for a refund".

Miks Posted June 2, 2020 #3194 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hello all, First post here, I've been following this thread with interest and glad to see that many people are finally getting their refunds. We booked our cruise direct paying the deposit on our joint debit card. I then paid my half of the balance on my own debit card and my boyfriend paid his on his credit card. When it comes to refunds does any know how it will work - will they split the refund across the three cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miks Posted June 2, 2020 #3196 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Ah OK thanks majortom, he was the lead name so it would all go back onto his? I thought they would do it to one but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the balances will be refunded to the original method of payment, if you booked direct with P&O to pay for the cruise. So in your case three refunds across the three cards. Keep in mind that if the cards are with separate companies then the clearing time may differ per card, so there may be a slight difference when the balances reappear. I had a previous refund across two cards and saw the refund returned to each separately reflecting the amounts of the original transactions. I know it may sound obvious but you will know that you have to apply for the refunds, if you are not willing to accept the Future Cruise Credit. Hope this helps 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No pager thank you Posted June 2, 2020 #3198 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I should add, following on from Majortom's post, that both of my cards were registered in my name, so that could explain any difference in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps 😃 Thank you - yes, we've applied for a refund, dithered a bit about taking the credit but as we couldn't use it online at that point decided to go for a refund in the end. Only applied a few weeks ago so not expecting to see it anytime soon by the sounds of it but good to have clarification, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
