Wow! You people really don't understand what we onboard are saying and texasjones so eloquently explained. This isn't my first cruise, my first TA through the Bay of Biscay or the first time ports have been missed. The point you are missing is the amount that Princess deems is acceptable and as previously stated, more than once, it is NON REFUNDABLE. If we don't spend it, we lose it. I don't know what kind of insurance UK people get but our travel insurance does not cover missed ports. I am done with this thread.
