gill556 Posted January 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2012 We were booked to go on the Concordia in April and are so sorry for all involved in this awful tragedy. I just had a call from our travel agent who has informed us that we will now be transferred on to the Costa Romantica which has just been refurbished. We don't have a date yet but are fortunate that we are retired and flexible with dates and as we live in Spain and we were due to join the cruise in Barcelona so no flights involved. It is going to be more difficult for those at work who have to arrange time off and also to get flights changed etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted January 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The Romantica .... now called Neo Romantica is still in Dock at Savona having that refit! we have pictures of it from the air on 22nd December and it looked anything but completed.

gill556 Posted January 20, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Well they are now transferring passengers up to 26th March but they didn't say from when. We are not due until April although that could be changed. Doesn't give me much confidence from what you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricruiser Posted January 20, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The neoRomantica will begin its first cruise following restyling on or about 20 February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
