Watch out for this curveball:
The cruise gets cancelled or moved, but the airline refuses to refund your money because they are flying as scheduled, and it was you who did the cancellation, not the airline.-Tom
I think if you book your air fare through the cruise line in a package deal, you get it refunded if the cruise is cancelled.
That maybe a problem for some but we don’t fly!!
You’re right about airline cancellations. My sister and BIL had a Norway cruise booked for early July. They were going to tour England for a week before, and had made their own air and hotel arrangements.
Princess cancelled the cruise. They hadn’t paid anything for hotels yet. Only thing left was the airfare, RT Nashville-London, which they had paid for. She was within an hour of cancelling the flight, which would have resulted in some monetary penalties, when the airline cancelled. They lost no money.
