Review summary

Disappointing due to having to miss out the ports we went on the cruise to see due to bad weather. Feel more could have been done.

If you have a cruise insurance. You can claim for ports cancelled. £ 200 for each port cancelled. Chat to your travel agent. X

We all understand where you are coming from! Unfortunately everybody is literally in the same boat ( no pun intended ) That's what cruising is all about. Making the holiday your own! Xx

I can be disappointing but I am sure the captain choose the best course of action. We missed a few ports when we cruised but when I say the weather we missed I'm glad we did.

30th Wedding Anniversary Cruise
New Zealand was beautiful. Didn’t get to go to a scheduled scenery due to rough seas so we were at sea 3 days before first port.
