We are scheduled to sail for a week from another Moorings base, but that base doesn't have a community like this one so I hope you don't mind if I ask here.

We are booked for August 29-September 5. We have put in a 35% deposit on the charter. Next month we will be faced with the decision as to whether or not to pay the balance.

I'm wondering if anyone has had luck in them not charging their usual cancellation penalty before the final payment is due.

Or a refund (not a credit) if they cancel your charter closer to do the date.

I would have no problem paying the balance if I knew I'd get it back if travel from the USA to Europe was prohibited when we were supposed to arrive, I just don't want to wind up with a $10k+ credit when it's next to impossible to schedule a week we can all go. We had planned this August trip two years ahead.

We have travel insurance but of course it won't cover this.

Thanks for any thoughts.
