Wow - thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my post with some really helpful and thoughtful suggestions, I really am very grateful. I'm going to look into all of them - unfortunately a trip isn't really an option - no matter how accessible the city - my illness means it would be too exhausting for me (I wouldn't do excursions on the cruise either, just my husband).

I guesss you live and learn - I naively thought on a cruise we would be looked after and it never entered my head this sort of thing might happen - 13 hours in an airport with no facilities or somewhere to rest would probably finish me off!

But thanks to you guys I'm not feeling quite so lost and helpless as before - maybe we can still go in our dream holiday.

The port is Barcelona and the flight is a BA one to Gatwick. I just wanted to make the whole process as easy as possible, hence letting them organise the flights. I know there is a much earlier one, I don't understand why they won't put us on it. And I don't want to do an excursion, they aren't that easy for me as I am wheelchair-bound. I just want to get home at the end of a holiday!

Really hoping someone can advise me - first time cruiser. Booked a fly-cruise but flight times were not available when I booked. When I got them they were awful! We arrive back in port at 5am and disembark by 9 am, but our flight home is not until 10.30pm! The company are refusing to change them unless I fork out another £500 or have said I can cancel the flights which will cost me £200, neither of which I am prepared to do. They also keep trying to get me to book an excursion on that day before we fly to kill time. I am disabled and will have small children with me, we will all just want to go home! Am I being fleeced? I have no idea how these things work but expecting us to hang around an airport for 13 hours seems unreasonable. Can anyone advise? :-(
