We also have no idea what cruising will look like that far out and what J air travel will mean. Is this still something you will want?

Finally, don't be enticed by premium credits. If you are offered a credit at 125% of cash paid, who is to say what the cruise will cost a year later? If the cruise price increases by 25%, you have lost the additional value.
