Hi folks.
I thought I’d update this thread in case anyone is considering something similar
The departures from Prince Rupert has been cancelled for 2020 as far as I can tell. This was due to a variety of issues including funding, port facilities and customs issues.
We had/have a reservation from Bellingham WA. Originally our departure was on June 5th. Last night I received an email and phone call that due to Covid-19 and funding issues all departures for the month of June have been cancelled...We were automatically rebooked for departure on July 3rd. I called them today and discussed the situation. The gentleman I talked to was very apologetic and said we could either accept the rebook, change the date or get a full refund, all without penalty. He was very helpful in explaining all the options.
While we have a bit of time to consider our options I think we are leaning on forgoing the inside passage portion of the trip and when the Canadian/US border opens up perhaps we can leave towards the end of May as originally planned.
Time will tell...
On another note I also found out that Denali will be closed until June 15th. We have reservations to spend about a week there starting June 28th so say a little prayer for us...
