Cunard Cruises Cancelled Until November

[Crazy For Cats]

Cunard, another member of the Carnival family has cancelled more cruises.  All sailings have been cancelled for Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria up to November 1, and for Queen Elizabeth up to November 23.  The link to the article:   https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-52979123?fbclid=IwAR2tHatxX031o8gTUBKr2_HXwfejJdX3PyALTyXkRVdjd1RJEIHtD1NMDGw

 

I wonder if HAL will eventually follow suit.  Certainly hope not since I have November and December cruises booked.

HAL's website is way out of date.  They have cruises still scheduled as early as September, and several ships leaving/arriving in Vancouver and Victoria, despite the fact that Canadian ports, for several weeks now,  have been closed to cruise ships until 31 October.

I am not surprised to hear that Cunard has cancelled more cruises -- very wise as many ports have not reopened.

 

Right -- HAL is behind in what is happening.  With Ashford gone, some needs to start taking the helm.

And, CCL's stock price fell 7.5% today.  Hmm.  A connection to the Cunard announcement or not?

The website was behind long before Ashford left.

Cruise cancellations were delayed IMO under his watch.  I knew our TA couldn't go with covid and port closures but with the warnings since HAL didn't move and kept insisting it was going I had no choice but to bite the bullet and lose.

My trip cancellation insurance required it.

Cunard does a lot of transatlantics so this makes sense IMO.

Thank you for posting the link.

I expect HAL to follow this with no sailings until at least November.  I think HAL's base pax profile demands cautiousness and that is what HAL will deliver.
