Are Cruises Safe?
As far as cancellation is concerned, “Unless the airlines are not flying, cruise lines are not going to give the money back” for canceled bookings, says Shari Wallack of Worldwide Cruise Associates, Plantation, Fla. However, some groups who were concerned about security after the events of 9/11 were able to rebook Mediterranean-based cruises to the Caribbean at no charge. And several cruise lines offered a 75 percent credit toward a future booking to those who canceled.
