Is the ferry cancelled?
'Cancellato' — can-chel-LA-to. The 'c' before 'e' is soft like 'ch'. Stress on the third syllable.
Ask at the information desk or ticket office when you arrive at the port and the departure board shows unusual information or the pier seems empty.
'Cancellato' is the past participle of 'cancellare' (to cancel) used as an adjective. 'Essere cancellato' means to be cancelled. In Italian cancellation announcements you will hear 'la corsa è soppressa' (the service is suspended) — a more formal equivalent.
Il servizio è sospeso?
Is the service suspended?
More formal term for cancellation.
Quando riprendono le partenze?
When do departures resume?
Asks when service will restart.
Posso avere un rimborso?
Can I get a refund?
Essential question after a cancellation.
Ferry cancellations in Italy are usually announced via the ferry company app and on the port information boards. In some ports, a loudspeaker system announces cancellations. Passengers are entitled to a full refund or rebooking at no cost for weather-related cancellations.
