My apologies to all, I over-reacted when my wife read the report to me and did not take the time to give it adequate thought.  Classic case of foot in mouth!🤐

Hi and thanks for your replies.

Yes, you are correct, I have not been a regular visitor to this forum, but have always had the site at the back of my mind when looking for inspiration.  I have referred to the site from time to time.

My reason in posting this question now was to get a gauge on how often this happens.  From your responses I take it that it is very rare and due only to extenuating circumstances.  If so, I can live with it😊

Best regards,

HI,

I was appalled to read the following report on www.news.com.au : (https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-advice/travellers-stories/why-cruise-company-had-a-right-to-ruin-womans-trip/news-story/c197e946292adbdf28443602a00d3ab5 )

To summarise, NCL changed itinerary of a Baltic cruise and cancelled 3 (of the 5 scheduled) ports of call without explanation.  No ports were substituted thus increasing the number of sea days.  No compensation was offered to the passengers.

Have other members on here experienced such a change to their itineraries?  It seems to me that this is a horrendous state of affairs and effectively means that you cannot be sure of anything when booking a cruise.

I have enjoyed several NCL cruises but will definitely think twice about chancing my luck on another!

Hi,

When travelling with my wife and 2 friends, we enjoyed a 2 day St Petersburg tour with Alla Tours in September 2013. Every aspect of the tour was great, we had a charming guide with a lovely sense of humour and good English language skills. The lunches included were above our expectations, and the vehicles excellent. The pre-tour communication and booking process was faultless.

I would have no hesitation recommending Alla Tours to others,

Roger
