THE United States’ Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has proposed cancellation rule changes to protect American cruise ship passengers.
Commissioner Louis Sola is proposing new rules for refunds and wants to hear from passengers.
The proposed rules, as outlined in a 69-page Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Passenger Vessel Financial Responsibility, are a result of consumer experiences with cruises cancelled due to COVID-19.
