Not just Princess, that was a Carnival Corp. announcement.
I'm looking forward to getting my April cruise refunded. It's sad cruising keeps getting pushed back, but the writing was already on the wall, especially given the sea change in Washington.
Love the pun of the "sea change."
I hope they tread very carefully with Princess and HAL. Those two - particularly, the former - have been nothing but reckless in the last few years.
Certain of their brands, yes. Carnival the brand is a ship-by-ship decision, while Costa and AIDA are following their own timelines.
I think the theory is that the Wonder will not cross the canal since they already cancelled the Panama Canal cruise. The thought is that there will be no cruises on the west coast.
Princess operates the largest fleet of cruise ships in Alaska, which means they have to plan well ahead to reposition these ships. Cruise ships aren't being allowed in Canadian waters, and by cancelling everything till May, they are acknowledging they can't see any easy path to get these ships over and keep them parked.
It will all depend on Canada and what they put in place, Currently they have banned Cruise Ships through March 31st but that ban is expected to extend, Also they currently they have a 14 mandatory quarantine people for anyone entering Canada that qualifies and that is not likely to be lifted anytime soon.
