IF ncl did have to cancel the ship carrying their portion of the connecting passengers from Cunard that might mean Cunard having to refund hundreds of passengers if the second leg of the trip was fully booked with just cunard passsengers. The UK agencies would also suffer a hit and I can see them wanting compensation? UK agencies would have to what? Cancel, put people up in hotels in nyc find different cruises ouf of different cities for the 11 nights till QM2 came back? They would take a hit and want money for it
