Well, that's that, I guess. So much for that anniversary cruise. It would be nice to see some of our deposit returned, but I think Delta is right on this: it won't be soon, if ever. If we do get any back, I've got some saloon cushions that need a makeover. A bit of a refresh, add some champagne, and will be just as good, right? Cruising on the Mississippi should be just like the Danube, right?
It will be interesting to see how (or if) they wrap things up with the customers and travel agents. The only reason I knew what was going down was because of this forum. We haven't had any communication from Crystal. In any case, I feel so bad for the employees and crew that are suddenly without jobs and possibly stuck far away from home. Not sure if this has been posted yet, but is a good read: https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/finance/crystal-cruises-done-assignee-appointed-handle-liquidation
Hopefully you paid by credit card.
From the article linked above: "Anderson said a 'significant majority of customer money is being held in trust by VISA, Mastercard and American Express' — he estimated well over $100m. Moecker will be working with these credit card companies to approve refunds. Anderson estimated 75% to 80% of customers had paid by credit card."
