Case in point: Princess Cruises has announced that it will cancel all of its worldwide trips until mid-December with only one notable exception.
All trips in Asia, the Caribbean, California, Hawaii, Mexico, the Panama Canal, South America. Antarctica, Japan and Tahiti / South Pacific will remain on hiatus, the company said in a press release on Monday.
“We share the disappointment of our guests by canceling these cruises,” Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises, said in the press release. “We look forward to the days when we can travel again and the happiness it brings to all who sail.”
CDC U.S. Non-Navigation Order
That order, issued July 16, suspends “passenger operations on cruise ships capable of carrying at least 250 passengers in waters subject to US jurisdiction. It originally expired on Friday.”
The exeption
There is one country in the Princess lineup that has a previous postponement scheduled: Australia.
The cruise line said that all travel in and out of Australia on its Majestic Princess, Regal Princess, Sapphire Princess, Sea Princess and Sun Princess ships can resume on October 31.
Refunds
You must submit full refund requests by August 31 or you will automatically register for what Princess calls the “Future Cruise Credit” option.
