Cruise Cancelled Due to Weather. I Got 75% Back.

Cruise cancelled departure due to weather. Cruise line offered 50% future credit. I wanted cash. Emailed: "Weather cancellation is beyond your control but the port fees and taxes are refundable. I request cash refund for those portions." Got 75% back in cash. Read the contract for force majeure clauses.

The lesson here is that most refund denials are not final. Companies have discretionary policies that allow exceptions, but they rarely advertise them. The key is knowing which policy to reference and how to frame your request.

If you are dealing with a similar situation with Cruise Cancelled Due, do not accept the first denial. Research their refund policy, find the specific clause that supports your case, and write a professional appeal referencing it. That single step can turn a “no” into a “yes.”

I use LaimRefund to do this research automatically. It searches the platform’s policies and relevant consumer laws, then drafts a professional appeal letter. Free to check your odds, only $3.99 to unlock the full letter.
