DCL’s Temporary Flexible Refund Policy – Frequently Asked Questions as of 12/6/2022
Surprised it took this long. I’ve heard of too many people using the prior policy as “cancel for any reason” coverage. Requiring a positive test makes sense.
Anyone agree with this loyalty programme?
0-2 nights at sea: first time cruiser
3-50 nights at sea: silver
50-100 nights at sea: gold
100+ nights at sea: pearl
Sounds more fair to non Florida and non US guests
