(Updated March 14, 2:03 p.m. EDT) Nearly every cruise line has suspended operations and/or canceled cruises. But with so much information floating around, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction, or even find out whether or not your cruise has been impacted.
With that in mind, we’ve created this simple compilation of all the latest developments for each major cruise line, organized alphabetically.
Where available, we’ve included when sailings are expected to resume (emphasis on the word “expected”), how impacted cruisers are being compensated, and links to where you can find more information.
Because this is a developing story likely to change often, we recommend bookmarking so you can check back often for updates.
