We booked a cruise Brisbane to NZ return months ago, depart 20th December on Coral Princes for 14 days but now NZ is shut due to Covid-19, paid a grand deposit and mid Sept the balance of $7000 is due, if we don't pay in full we lose our deposit and if we do and its cancelled we get our money back in 3 months time!, how can they do this as NZ is closed?.

"The Government has announced that quarantine-free travel with Australia has been suspended. Further detailed information can be found on the Unite Against COVID-19 website . Check back regularly for the latest advice and information".

Unfortunately, Princess and the other cruise lines have had to cancel many cruises due to covid restrictions, so do have a lot of experience doing this. I'd expect they will put an update out before final payment becomes due, cancelling this cruise. You just have to wait until the date, not take action til then.
