I know many of us book our live aboard trips many months in the future if not earlier. With the Covid19 virus now a pandemic there are so many restrictions around the world that it may be impossible for many of us to go on our trips. Flight cancellations, country entry restrictions or quarantine once you arrive---all these things are stressing many of us out--I know it is me as I have a live aboard in late May in the Philippines which just locked down Manila for thirty days and maybe longer. Yes I could save some money by canceling now which is still a strain on a retired persons budget and the flight itself is non-refundable unless the airline cancels it which may happen before this is over. But the one source I've heard nothing from is the two big live aboard whole sellers--not a peep. It seems they would be saying something on their websites about the virus or possible cancellations because of it---nothing that I can see from any other sources yet either except Blue O Two which says it will let you cancel a reservation during this time without a penalty--good on them. Guess I'll need to bite the bullet and see how this plays out and hope for the best---stay safe and well everyone!
