With so many news reports relating to cruise travel and coronavirus, it is normal for people to wonder if they should continue with their plans to cruise. The industry has slowly become cognizant of passengers’ concerns and is slowly beginning to make changes in an attempt to alleviate their concerns.
Cruise companies have slashed prices in an attempt to attract more travelers. Some have also liberalized their refund and cancellation policies.
