I have some AirNZ domestic non-refundable ticket credits being held from flights AirNZ cancelled. I may not be able to make use of it in the next two years. I'd actually prefer to donate the credit to a NZ charity/good works at this point except it is non-transferrable. AirNZ Chief Revenue Officer has been fairly transparent and accessible on twitter so I'll prob. pm. NZ will go to level 2 which allows travel at some point and may have a travel bubble with AU later this year.

While I do have faith in Viking surviving the pandemic, I have to admit that I am going to leave crowded environments out of my itinerary for the foreseeable future until better treatments are available to tackle the Covid mess.
That's +1 for Viking. Viking Ocean cancelled their cruises fairly early and ships are registered in Norway instead flag of convenience, afaik. Will need to look up how their staff was repatriated and treated during this. I'm not really into cancel culture but I do vote with my money. The very early payment in full (not sure if that is still a thing) is a bit annoying for a cruise booked far out and they seem to have gotten better at disaster recovery due to necessity.
I am waiting on Celebrity to refund for a 4/1 cruise which was submitted for refund 3/17. Original estimate was 30 days but Cruise Critic roll call member called and was told some time in May? No communication from Celebrity on the revised cruise date. I'll probably call them next week to get the revised v2 date.
