TikiIslandGirl Posted December 25, 2019 Author #27 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Here is the original post with the travel company removed for cruise critic purpose So just a update. Looks like I made lemonade out of lemons lol So, in the end I'm glad that vantage cancelled my cruise. Uniworld was having a 30% sale. So ended up booking a 11 day/ 10 night cruise Remarkable Rhine & Historic Holland. It is 3 nights longer than the vantage cruise (and cheaper fare than the 7 night vantage- plus Uniworld is all inclusive-I would still had tips/an extra excursion and some drinks on Vantage). I was also able to book upgraded flights on British Airways in World Traveller Plus for $1530/each RT. And if anyone is a member of a certain warehouse I booked through them (same price as anywhere I looked-I get $900 in a warehouse gift card and my 2% back for my executive membership-so that will be around a additional $1100 cash to spend at warehouse. We were going for the tulips in Amsterdam but we are flying in a few days early so will just book us a excursion instead of a "tulip cruise". I travel for work so I used my Hilton points to get us rooms at the Hilton Double Tree Central in Amsterdam-better and cheaper option than the Brussels extension fro Vantage. So just really worked out!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timelessperson Posted August 10, 2020 #29 Share Posted August 10, 2020 At least you had a phone call, I didnt even receive that. I got in contact with Vantage and was told that my cruise was cancelled and they were giving me a FCC with a 25% discount on my next cruise. but nothing to the effect they would b ook me into the same cruise with the same fare which I would have accepted. I am still waiting to hear from them after I messaged them and told them that I wanted a refund, not a FCC. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was charted out to a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare texasstar Posted August 11, 2020 #31 Share Posted August 11, 2020 We used Uber in Amsterdam from the hotel to the airport. Worked great and was less than a taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
