Hurricane Frances Updates!

Interesting that Carnival is giving $100 pp on board credit, plus 50% refund
AND 50% on a future cruise for their shortened cruises, but Princess only
does the $100 on board credit and 50% refund with NO future cruise credit.
Yet Carnival owns Princess.

And Royal Caribbean is giving only shipboard credit, some smaller future
discounts, and NO refunds for the people sailing on shortened cruises...

Looking at all the packages offered, at appears that Royal
Caribbean/Celebrity are the most generous.


If you wanna spend $500 on the ship!

Not hard to do. A few spa treatments, tips, drinks, some gift shop items,
maybe a shore excursion, etc. Cruise lines make it VERY easy to spend $500.
In fact I can't think of the last cruise I went on where I didn't spend at
least $500, except Silversea where everything was included.

I agree... to an extent... Yes, I could easily spend that $500 shipboard
credit,but would prefer that amount in the form of a refund. I know that Royal
Caribbean, as well as the other cruiselines are gonna take a big hit on this,
but if you lose 2 or more days of a cruise, I'd rather get the cash, than the
credit... In the long run, with the credits... RCI is gonna do ok...

According to RCCl's website they are giving $500 shipboard credit per cabin and
50% off a future cruise( doesn't seem too small a discount to me) on the the
shortened sailings including the now 3 nite enchantment sailing. I thought that
Carnival was offering a 30% refund on cruise price only not on .NCF's, not a
50% refund. I hope that theRCCL's ships have an excessively stocked liquor,
jewelery shops, gift shop, the spas have extended hours, etc. It could be a
little difficult to spend $500 on board if they run out of stuff to buy.

Don't worry about it Greg. This spammer will do just about anything to get
his name and the name of his one man Travel Agency out there so expect
useless replies and repeats of his 'messages' that make sure he includes his
tag line and often references to how well his clients are taken care of and
how many he has..

Hi Greg,

As a matter of clarification, Princess is offering full credit or a
full refund if you decide to cancel. They are now offering a 50%
refund AND a $100 per person onboard credit for their shortened
cruise. They are also paying fees for any additional charges by the
airlines. Most, if not all airlines have waived their fees.

As a matter of clarification, I was pointing out the one difference that
Princess is NOT offering a future cruise credit if you sail on the
shortened
cruise. I did say they are offering a 50% refund AND $100 pp obc.

Royal Caribbean is allowing passengers to stay on the ships as they
take them out to sea and are not charging the passengers for the
cruise away from the storm.
