  1. The port schedule for Amsterdam is showing both Brilliant Lady and Scarlet Lady there in August 25. Brilliant Lady is showing from May 25 as being in Amsterdam. Scarlet first appears in August, on different dates. According to elsewhere, their ships are also going to Iceland, Istanbul, Norway to name but a few of their destinations and longer cruises too. We will see on the 14th.
  2. I’m sorry your cruise has been cancelled/changed again. Not everyone can swop from a 7 night cruise to a longer one. This doesn’t give me much confidence in booking VV cruises far out, with all of the cancellations that have gone on. In the U.K. we do not get any refunds for airline tickets and I doubt my insurance would cover the airfare loss. My flights in the summer cost more than the $500 they offered last time. They need to make their minds up and stick to the route, If they get the pricing right, the cruises will sell. At the moment people are struggling financially so probably won’t commit this early to a cruise in 12 months time. People will book nearer the time.
  3. VV seem very slow compared to the other cruise lines in releasing summer 25. Can anyone see if they are in Greece in August 25. I was hoping for Santorini August 24, but that cruise got cancelled, due to the new ship not being ready.
  4. I received it too, does anyone know anything about the 5 night cruises mentioned from Athens? There weren’t any dates.
  5. Just to add U.K. airlines do not offer refunds on air tickets, nor do lots of others if booked in the U.K. those living in the U are very lucky if yiu can book fully refundable air tickets. We also cannot get any price adjustments on cruises or airfare. Unless of course we book the cruise with a US TA.
  6. Noooooooo. Us Brits nearly always pay far more for everything than our American cousins (cruises and flights) etc. plus given that it’s the 12th, we can’t even cancel and get our deposits back I guess. Here is what I can see for Brits, no mention of booking through a U.S. TA. I don’t care for the bit about they can increase the price by up to 8%.
  7. We are driving down from Orlando and I have car hire booked with Alamo. I intend to drop it off at MIA and pick up again there for the return journey. Is the only way to transfer to the cruise port via taxi/Uber? Does anyone know if Alamo offer a bus transfer to MIA from the cruise port or airport, or any car hire company that does please? I’ve tried search on the web, but cannot find any info. I’ve read some info saying a taxi is $27 one way, is that still the case? Many thanks.
