Dawniepoo Posted May 6, 2020 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'm so disappointed in this news. We were going on the Sky in September. Link to post Share on other sites

shopgirl151 Posted May 6, 2020 #7 Share Posted May 6, 2020 There goes my vacation. Supposed to do the Canada and Colonial America in July on the Caribbean. Link to post Share on other sites
rocklinmom Posted May 6, 2020 #8 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Just saw on Facebook. Not really a surprise. Link to post Share on other sites
shopgirl151 Posted May 6, 2020 #9 Share Posted May 6, 2020 It is sad. I was supposed to be on the Caribbean in July. Link to post Share on other sites
sonomaphil Posted May 6, 2020 #10 Share Posted May 6, 2020 This will be extended. Don't see them starting again until 2021. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
sonomaphil Posted May 6, 2020 #11 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Fall season next. Link to post Share on other sites
nini Posted May 6, 2020 #12 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Wow... now to see if this creeps into September. Technically, Summer goes to Sept. 22 (Summer Equinox). I especially feel so sad for all of the staff. Link to post Share on other sites

One of the reason for all the cancellations is no demand. 50% occupancy restrictions with 25% of those cabins filled is not going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites
azbirdmom Posted May 6, 2020 #16 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Sad to see this but I have to say I knew it was coming. I sure hope they can come back from this. I hope we ALL can come back from this! 5 Link to post Share on other sites
LHARTWICK Posted May 6, 2020 #17 Share Posted May 6, 2020 So will Princess not contact us directly to inform us our cruise has been cancelled? Thanks to the OP for this information. We've received no notification from PCL - maybe we will receive something shortly. We were on the Emerald to AK in September with a TON of OBC/perks. But honestly, I'm glad it's cancelled. We were waffling as to what to do, but the decision has been made for us. I was actually just as fearful of flying on a plane as I was boarding a ship. We've been to AK several times, and she will be there for us when the time is right. 😢 Link to post Share on other sites

Esprit Posted May 6, 2020 #19 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Gutted we won’t be on the shiny new Enchanted Princess this August. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
franktown Posted May 6, 2020 #20 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Remember the default position is FCC. You need to fill out the form if you want your money back. I personally have no need for additional FCC. Link to post Share on other sites
cruzsnooze Posted May 6, 2020 #21 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Since Princess is protecting the commission to TA's for bookings that were paid in full shouldn't we get the perks promised (not their commission). I use a big box company and had a $900 OBC coming so shouldn't that still be paid to me when they get their commission? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CruzinNoony Posted May 6, 2020 #23 Share Posted May 6, 2020 They would probably just put our FCC's back in our account if we fill out the form. It sounds like the original FCC is refundable, so what would we lose by taking their offer of doubling it? I wonder if we have to put it on a specific cruise? Link to post Share on other sites

john_galt Posted May 6, 2020 #25 Share Posted May 6, 2020 My Caribbean Princess sailing on November 4 is now shown as the first cruise back for that ship. Not holding my breath. 😵 Link to post Share on other sites
