COVID-19 update number 1

P&O cancelled Amanda's birthday cruise on 25 March; a month before it was due to leave.  We're waiting for them to refund the cruise cost (we should be getting a 200% credit for use on the next P&O cruise which just happens to be in December).  Qantas has given Paul refund vouchers for the cost of their flights - although a few Frequent Flyer points might have been lost in the mix.  And, only hotel they had booked had free cancellation, so that has already been done.  The only other thing lost is the cost of the travel insurance of course.

The next cruise we have scheduled is our Northern Explorer cruise from Fremantle to Sydney in August.  It was looking fairly hopeful, and we have paid for air fares and a hotel in Fremantle.  As of now though it's not promising; a few weeks ago it looked like things might be starting to get back to normal in July or August but now I'm not so hopeful.  We just need to wait and see.
