Should’ve been on holiday

We should be on holiday this week, had a week booked in Torquay in a nice apartment overlooking the sea, a trip on the Paignton steam train plus days out, all not happening, still, there are people much worse off than us missing our holiday, it’s rebooked for next year and hopefully things will be better by then...

Re: Should’ve been on holiday

Commiserations Primus my son has emailed to say he has managed to get a refund for our much awaited family holiday due to start on the 26th of this month in a beautiful house overlooking the sea in Wales .

A holiday next summer seems a long way away, there is another winter to face first ...

Good news Primus the weather forecast is poor for the rest of the week and awful in Torquay, I hope you can take some comfort from that...

It makes it a bit better Meg, but it wouldn’t stop us doing stuff

rebooked ours for next year as well, so your not alone, given a 25% increase on the holiday money for rebooking, so got a better cabin on a higher deck

We cancelled our holiday last week and our deposit has been carried over to next year's holiday which, we've been told, will be kept at 2020 prices.

Re: Should’ve been on holiday

P&O cruises with sailing dates up to including 19th October 2020 so that's our Northern Lights Cruise gone as well this year had hoes for that. Although not sure in hindsight we would of gone on a cruise ship this year. Also had China cancelled earlier in the year (as would be expected given the situation) and a holiday to Majorca in May lost. Had refunds on China and Majorca. Taken the 125% refund from P&O not rebooking anything at the moment just waiting to see what happens, we have one of our group who is vulnerable having had lung cancer so unsure what we do.

You know what they say on cruises "The more you pay the more you sway"

That is excellent. I cancelled my holiday with Saga in March. Would have loved if they had offered to a regular customer this transfer to next year. They did not.
