Kohima Posted July 9, 2020 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The latest advice is that no British people should go on cruises, not just the over 70s. This effectively invalidates travel insurance for cruises until the advice changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred989 Posted July 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2020 That looks like the end of cruises for the near future. Perhaps that is why the latest Saga brochure starts on 4th Feb 2021 with the Spirit of Adventures off to the Canaries, and the Spirit of Discovery also visiting the Canaries, leaving Southampton on March 30th. No rush to get the new build out of the shipyard then. i wonder when SAGA clarifies the situation and offers refunds, or will the just hang on to the deposits, “we assume they will all rebook so no need for a refund, we are not cancelling, just rescheduling” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay23 Posted August 14, 2020 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2020 We are booked to go on December 16th on Discovery. The FO still says we, as oldies, should not cruise. 90% of Saga cruisers are "oldies". We will not be cruising this year obviously. My plea to Saga is to cancel all cruises up to the beginning of 2021 so that we can get a refund for our deposit. Would this be so difficult????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermotsgirl Posted August 14, 2020 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The FCO updated it’s advice on 9th July. It’s not just the oldies, the advice now applies to everyone. It seems clear to most people that there’ll be no more cruising this year. It would be much less stressful for passengers if the cruise companies just cancelled the remaining chunk of cruises 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
