Right, so because the 25% was used toward the cost of the new cruise, they can’t give you 125% of the new cruise price because that would be stacking the discounts.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you meant to reply to someone else. This is what I wrote (and what you replied to):

I did not have a cruise booked. They are refunding on a cruise I took last September (the one and only DCL Ive ever scheduled). Asked the two families I cruised with if they had any refunds. One had 3 refunds totaling $100, the other had nothing. The family with the refund was only refunded on the card they used to book the cruise, not the card used on the ship. I paid for the other persons cruise so it makes sense that she got no refund in light of that.

ETA: My mystery has been solved. Port fees went down for the NYC to Bermuda sailings last year and that is what these refunds are about.

I just saw where NCL canceled the Norwegian Sun‘s entire summer season to Alaska but kept their other ships sailing for the summer season. Not sure what that means.

if DCL did this, it would be crazy as our cruise is 6/27

For some reason, I can't edit my previous post. That's what I get for having several things open on my desktop at once.

A redeployment for that ship is what I found when searching, guess they are sending the Sun elsewhere?

Thanks that makes sense.

Yeah, thought I was replying to a post asking if the 125% cruise credit would be based on their first cancelled cruise fare or second cancelled cruise fare, when the second fare included the 125% credit from the first cruise. No idea how I ended up replying to your post instead! I've been foggy headed though so my mistake.

No big. I know the ups and downs youve been having. Hope today is an up day.

They may be doing a staggered start with their ships. They may even reduce the number of ships in Alaska to one (the Joy). The Sun with either be held back from operations or run tropical routes to the Bahamas or Caribbean.

France has extended the lock down, all public places, bars, restaurants, theaters, movie theaters etc. will remain closed till mid July. No festivals till then, so it's safe to say, no Disneyland Paris till then.

And it will also impact the DCL cruises with stops in France (Magic May 23, May 30, Jun 6 and Jul 13), IF these cruises don't get cancelled, they will no doubt skip French ports, unless things change.

The news I am seeing is until May 11th?

That's the strict lockdown with everyone staying in and only allowed out for 1 hour a day and need to stay within one kilometer (0.6 Mile) of their houses, besides essential shopping.

I see several news sources translating the new rules a bit different. Festivals are off till mid-July, for bars/restaurants etc. it only says that they will be closed longer, without a date attached to it. I'm not a French native, so please don't quote me on this

Plus apparently he said (read in a FB group which translated, there are some French natives in it, but I'm not sure who translated it) that the boarder will be closed till May 11th and when it reopens, it'll only be for EU citizens, which will make cruises impossible (the CM's aren't EU citizens and most of the guests aren't either)

Apparently Macron indicated external borders may be closed to non-EU residents until September. https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/ne...emain-closed-until-september-due-to-covid-19/

Don’t forget the July 1st Cruise is supposed to stop in Cannes...

I’m hoping Spain closes its borders too... seems like there is already talk they are discouraging foreign nationals this summer to maybe the entire year...

Princess just cancelled all cruises through June 30th in addition to some extended ones on their other ships.

That is really what DCL needs to do.
