Cancellation Windows and Deadlines(+𝟏-𝟖𝟓𝟓-𝟑𝟕𝟒-𝟓𝟒𝟕𝟓 [𝐔𝐒] 𝙾𝚁 ➃４-➇ʘʘ-０➄➀-６➆➂５)
Every cruise line has specific policies regarding cancellations(+𝟏-𝟖𝟓𝟓-𝟑𝟕𝟒-𝟓𝟒𝟕𝟓 [𝐔𝐒] 𝙾𝚁 ➃４-➇ʘʘ-０➄➀-６➆➂５). These typically include cancellation deadlines that determine the amount of your refund or penalty(+𝟏-𝟖𝟓𝟓-𝟑𝟕𝟒-𝟓𝟒𝟕𝟓 [𝐔𝐒] 𝙾𝚁 ➃４-➇ʘʘ-０➄➀-６➆➂５).
Early Cancellations: If you cancel well in advance, usually 90-120 days before departure, (+𝟏-𝟖𝟓𝟓-𝟑𝟕𝟒-𝟓𝟒𝟕𝟓 [𝐔𝐒] 𝙾𝚁 ➃４-➇ʘʘ-０➄➀-６➆➂５) most cruise lines offer a full or near-full refund.

Ensure you purchase travel insurance at the time of booking or within the eligible period(+𝟏-𝟖𝟓𝟓-𝟑𝟕𝟒-𝟓𝟒𝟕𝟓 [𝐔𝐒] 𝙾𝚁 ➃４-➇ʘʘ-０➄➀-６➆➂５).
