Bella87 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hi, Anyone going on this in May? Travel advisory says won't let anyone on board who have traveled to Northern Italy but that includes Liguria which is where La Spezia is and that one of the port stops? Doesn't really make sense that this cruise is still a go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Welcome to the message boards. All anyone here can do is speculate. In my opinion the cruise will still go but if the CV is still around and parts of Italy are still closed in May they'll find alternate ports as needed. Much like a hurricane if weather doesn't allow them to complete the original itinerary they find alternate ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG Cruiser Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 My friends are booked for the May 10 sailing. They’re also set up for tours and road trips in Italy before the sailing. They have a lot of cancellations to take care of, they don’t even know where to start. At least, most airlines are waiving change fees for flights to affected areas.

Were/Are so looking forward to it, but given they are shutting schools etc and we would have to pass through Italy (obviously) and had planned on 5 days in Rome before hand - are seemingly resigned to the fact it probably wont go ahead. In a week or 2 we cross the 75% refund if we cancel and it drops to less - so really confused what to do . As others have said we also have a stack of other stuff around it (a 45 day trip) that is also tied up. I know its hard for RCI but it would be really good if they could at least give us some directions sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicDay Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 We are on the May 10th sailing, we fly to Barcelona on May 7th (arrive on May 8th) then cruising. Still planning but watching to see if there is a reason to change our plans or they change them for me. I am on hold with my trip insurance company as I type this. Just getting all my ducks in a row to make an informed decision. I would be really bummed if we can't go but I have also wanted to see Alaska (maybe my back up trip) I can aways plan another trip when this is sorted out.
