If you purchased your excursion via cruiseline.com or our Ship Mate app, you can get a refund if your ship missed the port. Email us at hello@cruiseline.com for assistance. If you didn't book through us, most reputable shore excursion providers will process a refund for a missed port.

Horrible Cruise Experience Ever!
It was horrible. We've missed four ports and the ship stopped sailing in Barcelona, Spain due to mechanical problems. We had to book last minute flight to get to Rome, Italy where the disembarkation supposedly scheduled to arrive in Rome on Friday, 07/05
