Long story short, I have slightly over $52,000 in vouchers from Viking. I have them due to cruise cancellations by Viking due to Covid or cruises cancelled by me upon the death of my husband.
Sort of the lemonade from all those lemons, right?
so I want to use those vouchers to book two cabins, one for my sister & her husband and one for me.
I'll be leaving a good bit on the table because of Viking's "use it or lose it" rules and the cruise I chose for us is around $10,000 pp (plus my single supplement) So it comes out to around $40,000, leaving $12,000 on the table. I was willing to do that.
But Viking say NO, split the vouchers between 2 people, all others must pay cash!
Which means I get $26,000 voucher and may use my voucher (or cash) to pay for my no longer existant husband ( 'The Single Supplement')
My sister also gets a $26,000 voucher, but MAY NOT use it to pay for her flesh and blood husband
AND all voucher value not redeemed BEFORE EMBARKATION is lost! ...... That'll be a lot!!!
These vouchers represent real cash that Viking has held since Covid times;
I think I should be able to use them within the company the way any sane person would imagine.
I don't think I was being unreasonable, but Viking said NO DICE, THESE ARE OUR RULES (today?)
Am I the assh*ole here?
