Holiday booked, don't want to go

Frankly, I shall be surprised if you are able to go in July so I don't think you should worry about wanting to go on holiday or wanting to stay home. I can't imagine that such a thing would be possible.

I have a booked holiday but have it in writing that I shall be getting a refund. If we are permitted to go abroad next year, I shall consider re-booking the same holiday but I am truly not convinced that package holidays will be permitted so soon.

I cancelled our holiday which was to have been in July. I'm pretty sure it would have been cancelled anyway by the cruise line but we really didn't want to go far this summer.

Don't go if you don't want to!

As others have said, you may well find it's cancelled anyway

I didn't actually cancel my holiday as I felt I wouldn't be entitled to either a refund or credit note if I did so.

A credit note didn't really appeal because I didn't think we'd necessarily be allowed to go overseas in 2021.

Let's hope I am wrong.

Unfortunately I don't think we'll be allowed to go very far, probably best not to plan going abroad this year. I don't think I would want to anyway.

Our flight to Rhodes in June has already been cancelled by Jet2. We have a flight booked for Malaga towards the end of September, even if Jet2 do not cancel it, I will not be going. Luckily we haven't booked our accommodation there yet.

We booked cottage in Wales that was rescheduled until September. We booked trip to Southern Ireland October in reality it doesn't look as if anyone will be going anywhere.

We had a holiday booked for the end of May. We cancelled the accommodation and have been refunded for it. Luckily we had not yet booked the ferries. I don’t think any of us will be travelling abroad for quite some time

I have a holiday booked for late August/September at Warmers Nidd Hall near Harrogate .
I have paid my deposit with the local travel firm in Banbury, and final due late June .
I am hoping that situation changes over the coming weeks and the local; travel firm are back in business.

We were due a UK break 6th April.
Our money is in a holding account for 12 mths. However that is effectively only 8mths as I wouldn't consider going away until at least September even then it would depend on the situation.

Thank you Tengerine

Thank you everyone for your replies....

We have a holiday booked for September. We’ve paid the deposit and the balance is due in June. I did read somewhere that to get a full refund we have to pay the balance otherwise we would be in breach of contract and so not eligible for a refund.

I am loathe to pay the balance, but there is also the ‘disinclination to travel’ aspect I have also read about which could happen if the holiday goes ahead but we don’t want to go. In that case my understanding is we wouldn’t be entitled to a refund.

We will wait till we hear from the travel agent.

We booked back in January for France in June. I have written it off as a coronavirus casualty. Our family were going to join us. Ah well. I haven't cancelled it but I can't see it going ahead. The airline hasn't cancelled either. Perhaps we can postpone for next year. although when a friend tried to postpone her wedding she was told the venue was already booked for 2021! Her wedding is in July.

We are also booked on a cruise in July. We had given a substantial deposit away back and were encouraged to pay the final amount or fear of losing our whole deposit. We were informed that by doing so it would be better in the long term. We have paid the cruise in full now, we don’t want to go but I’m hoping since it’s fully paid and if it’s cancelled by them or us we shall get a full refund honoured. We shall wait and see.

It’s highly unlikely that international holidays are going to be taken in July. If we are very lucky September may be possible, even UK hotels are going to be doubtful this summer.

Don’t cancel yourself you may have no refund rights, wait until they cancel then you will get a refund - eventually.

I'm supposed to fly back to Switzerland for 11th May for work. I don't want to. That feels far too soon for me. I'll reconsider beginning June.

I can't see that anyone's going to be travelling abroad before Christmas at the rate we're going. So next year, if we're lucky.

Have you looked on the Foreign Office website? I thought the advice was not to travel abroad for an indefinite period.

Apparently Germany have seen another spike in the number of 'victims' and they're warning other countries not to lift sanctions too soon.

Who'd want to go on a cruise? Surely not. Thousands of people and crew from all over the world, not people you could necessarily trust with handwashing etc and all congregating in the pools and dining areas, bars etc.
Madness...utter madness.

I have been on a few cruises in the past few years and despite the fact they were absolutely ammmmmmmzing, we weren't in the situation we are in now and yes, I agree GabriellaG54.. a cruise is the last type of holiday I would want to go on after all this.

I have reflected back to my time onboard and recoil in horror the amount of things that I touched that I never gave a second thought about and then toddled off to 1 of the restaurants for food !!!!!

Yes there were sanitizing hand wash disperses, and of course I used them, but considering everything* now*, it does make me think eeeeeeeeek .

We are booked for 3 weeks in India towards the end of the year. I now don’t want to go, even if flights are resumed. My OH insists we will be going unless the FO forbids it as we are not getting any younger and want to visit India.
I am trying not to think about it.
