I don't think anything anyone writes will mean anything unless it is about money. Interesting you feel so strongly when not on board. I am boarding on Saturday which is why I've been following the posts. If you do book, with any cruise line, I suggest you read the small print in detail. Possibly the more expensive of them would compensate, I have no idea, but in my view that's something to look for when taking out insurance. I believe as this was a repositioning cruise those on board would have paid a reduced fare, and at this time of year the majority would have understood the weather might necessitate a change in the itinerary. When you purchase most things there is a disclaimer attached, I don't believe keeping the vessel, passengers and crew safe by adjusting the itinerary is deserving of anything but praise and gratitude. We will have to agree to disagree.
