My father-in-law died this morning.

We must cancel. No refund or credit being offered. Booked through Amex Centurion.

Any advice from the sages here?
Condolences on your loss.

With respect to your cruise fee loss, you unfortunately self-insured. Have you checked with AMEX about any coverage?

If makes you feel any better about your financial loss, there are many cruisers who self-insure, assuming that those expensive trip insurance fees even out a rare loss that occurs.

Please let us know if AMEX helps.

Edit to add:

Depends if you are based in Europe: Yes!

or the USA: No!

At least in the case of the Platinum card
