I will once this settles down. It’s a lovely way to travel. They’ll have state of the art systems in place to deal with this. They were very very hot on Mrsa before this so they’ll know what they are doing. Also seems to be a systems failure on princess lines and other lines not really affected.

A cruise from Italy will be safest holiday in the World in a few months

Do not accept vouchers. They’re worthless

Correct ,do they legally have to give you money back though?

66

They don’t. If the flight/cruise hasn’t canceled they don’t have to give you a bean.

So it’s a waiting game as in they have to cancel,and if they don’t they can legally offer vouchers? Crazy situation

Some poor bastard’s with a few kid’s in tow are in trouble

I actually think the vouchers are a goodwill gesture (and a clever way of hanging onto cash, which is key in this crisis) and they are not legally obliged to offer them at all.

Fecking hard to decide for a lot of folks so,take something or maybe get sweet f all, you’re 100 pc right ref cash,it could get so the banks won’t be so generous in a few months

those vouchers are a cod, they will only be flying to about 10 places next year

More of a loophole I’d say. I could be wrong here but I dont think they’re required to cancel by law. So if you dont show up or cancel yourself, you’re goosed. Gets the insurance companies off the hook as well

Aye but if they go bust the vouchers really are worthless where if you’re stil booked\due a refund then you have some chance via credit card eg

Have one set of flights to Iceland at the end of May and have started what seems like a long, drawn out process with Iceland Air to at best get a travel voucher out of them. In fairness I will probably try and rebook that trip at some point anyways. There’s a set of flights with Aer Lingus to the south of Spain for June but I have free change on those and I’m less worried about that as they’ll get used one way or another.

I’d a tour booked in Morocco for September (hadn’t the flights booked yet) with some cowboy operation - that will definitely be the most interesting one to sort out.

A voucher is grand as long as there’s no time limit and Iceland air are around to honour it.
If you have to rebook in a year and there’s 6 months of vouchers floating around flights could be very steep (and they’ll be looking to make money like mad so prices will probably be high anyway)
