Cancel or No Show

[fair-winds39]

Our friends were booked on a cruise in the next few weeks. One of the two has to cancel due to jury duty. Is it better to be a “no show” or just call PVP and cancel .  If he is a no show, can she keep their balcony cabin? What is best solution? Thank you.

I have had jury duty before also, I called up to the court and told them I would be out of town that week and they took my name off of the schedule.  Shouldn't have to miss the cruise because of a jury duty summons.

I agree. I was able to move jury duty a few years ago due to a cruise. Unless they live in a unique location that doesn’t allow you to move it for any reason, or they have moved it already, that shouldn’t cause them to cancel a cruise.

Thanks for letting me know. CC is such a great source of info

As others have said your friends can ask for a postponement of jury duty.  Every state (and sometimes counties within a state) have different rules.  Some will allow one postponement within a year, some more, some may not allow any.  They may have to attach proof of why they need the postponement, which should be easy.

My mistake, I should have said a court date for a divorce hearing. Not jury duty, which I suppose is different.

Very different - lol.  No idea how that is handled.  Guess if both parties agree the divorce hearing can be re-scheduled.  If not, I would be a no-show, as I don't even think travel insurance (if they have it) will cover cancellation for that.

Thank you all for responses.

Just for clarification.

No show for the cruise or No show for the divorce hearing?

Actually I was thinking no-show for the cruise.  No show for divorce hearing may lead to worse problems!

Now I'm really confused. The couple getting divorced is going on a cruise?? 🤔 

 

(Nah, gotta be an 'out with the old, in with the new' scenario.)
