CaptKirk1964

Well, the good news is I am re booked on the 24th of October, but nearly lost that as well as just got the last Rockstar simply suite which is what i was previously booked on.. the thing is I rang them first thing and they said the department that deal with that is not open until 2pm UK time.. so rang then at 2pm and waited for ever, but all well that ends well although close!! also Virgin also offer a compensation scheme for flight booked before they cancelled so looks like, in effect, i have an extra 3 days holiday on the ship as booked for 7 days and this is 10!!

I am in exactly the same situation, only last week booked the flights for Jet 2 and a hotel stay in Barcelona, all of which i cannot see my insurance covering.. really disappointing and stressful when you get that email that its cancelled. Never cruised on Virgin before and was apprehensive about booking separate flights and now it seems for good reason.. The only upside is the potential (as I understand the email) of a slightly longer Holiday but with different start and end ports!! (looking at the two options provided in the same time frame)
