This post will be updated as new developments occur. We will add statements from our providers as they release them. Please bookmark this page to check for changes.
We know this is a trying time for all. The cruise industry is suffering. Travelers have Spring Break plans. The media is scaring the crud out of us all. So what do we do? Each family must make an informed decision based on accurate information.
We want to provide you with resources to statements from our partners on what they are doing to protect their guests, what their cancellation policies are, and what their plans are for the future.
No matter what, know that we here at Family Traveling Tips are working with our clients to make sure you have all of the information you need to make an informed decision. We work alongside our partners to help take care of you. Hold times are long and you are not alone when you have your trip booked with us.
