Surprise cruise cancellation - COVID19 Update Number 11

 Paul and Adam were booked to go on a cruise Brisbane - New Zealand - Brisbane in March 2022.  

A couple of days ago I decided to check when the next payment was due, and was surprised when the P&O website denied all knowledge of the booking.  Eventually we worked out that the booking must have been cancelled, because the Future Cruise Credit they had put onto the cruise was back in their P&O accounts.

We always use a travel agent for P&O cruises, and they were as surprised as we were - in fact, they've gone off to check if the bookings for any of their other customers have been unexpectedly cancelled.

In the end, the boys decided that they'd ask P&O to refund the Future Cruise Credits, and we'll wait for a better time to take Adam to see New Zealand.  I mean, he could of course go by himself but there are still lots of places that I want to see there too....
