The person is saying that if the cruise is cancelled, they will make sure you get a quick refund. He/she is personally, on their own responsibility, telling you that they will get you a refund, only if the cruise is cancelled.

B. The sentence "You will receive an immediate and full refund." is a consequence of something that may happen. You can't choose A because the clause "when this cruise should" is already assuming that the cruise will be cancelled and it is also grammatically incorrect.
