You guys call yourself a news organization? How about you do 10 seconds of research. If they actually had travel insurance from NCL they would get a 75% future cruise credit for canceling for any reason.
That’s funny because when my daughter and I tried to cancel our cruise on February 17 out of Hong Kong they told us the only option was to go through our insurance carrier
No recovery
You should be more worried about the flu! Media is trying to panic people.
I can't have my money back?... OK
Hard to feel sorry for people who have 32k to spend on a vacation.
Would of boarded the ship
Welcome to Trump world where giant cruise corps, oil companies, & foreign-money-compromised-UK-&-Russia-owned-GOP Senators & any one with a few dollars can bribe the POTUS (TRUMP) to absolve them of ANYTHING they do wrong. I'm sure retired West Virginia cruisers LOVE THIS!
Sue the Coronavirus
Seriously? Who spends 32K on a cruise? If you do, get trip insurance. Lord, that’s nuts! Yes, I’ve cruised several times. I know that there’s several reasons a cruise company will NOT be liable. This is one of them. Read the contract. Jesus.
I don't understand the appeal of spending a week in a floating apartment building.
Is their a no refund policy ?
We lose more people to the flu. about 62.000 die a year fro flu virus
I see lawsuits in this companies future.
