You might be able to do it later on in the year, if Canada opens its ports in Victoria or Vancouver.

Both Alaskan and New England cruises are having the same problem which is closed Canadian ports.

Foreign flagged Cruise ships that leave an American port must visit a foreign port before re-docking in an American port. - Tom

A couple of years after she retired, my mother went on an Alaskan cruise with my sister and her husband, and she had a blast. Me? Not so much. I’m reaching the point where I told my wife, if we can’t drive there in a day, it’s off the table. I give it about an 800 mile radius behind the wheel, tops. I’m not a big people person and she gets anxiety attacks if we even go to a concert with more than a few hundred people around. It took her two glasses of wine and a lorazepam to enjoy the last Trans-Siberian Orchesta concert we attended, and they usually pull in 9K to 10K per crowd.

I assume you mean "credit", not refund. It's been pretty standard for cancelled cruises to give 125%-150% credits that are good through 2021 with the hope you don't demand a refund. I would probably want more than 125%, and if you call to cancel, I wouldn't be surprised if they offer you more, or throw in a couple other upgrades or perks. Of course if they fold you are left holding the bag.

My family did an Alaska cruise a few years ago and it was very special. Use your refund to rebook.

Yeah, our 12 day HAL Alaskan cruise in September got cancelled. We’ve already rebooked for next May.
