Lindblad will double-dip, taking your money and someone else’s, but only serving one passenger. For passengers like you who can’t take a cruise, it’s like handing $8,030 to a cruise line and getting nothing in return. Cruise lines rarely, if ever, waive their rules. [...] in this case, you had confirmation from Lindblad that there was a wait list for your cruise, meaning that you were doing it a favor by canceling and allowing the cruise line to resell your cabin.
