A

Cruise lines worldwide suspended sailings March 13 because of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Now companies such as Carnival and Disney are pushing out their return dates and canceling more trips, meaning passengers can receive full refunds for the price of their trips. Those who want to take their chances and postpone —even though there’s no firm date when this pandemic will end —can choose to receive a credit for a future cruise. Just remember: If you choose a credit, you have given up your refund. Cruise companies want you to stick with them, and are offering extra perks and credits to keep you on board.

Carnival Legend typically sails from Seattle to Alaska in
