Homerody Posted April 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2022 O's response is to cancel is very interesting. Compares to Viking - they say sorry we changed the itinerary and here is a OBC to make everything better. My feeble brain says both companies have figured out where their bookings are strongest, and with strong demand for smaller ships, and previous customer loyalty - the marketing types at both companies have figured out what their respective markets will bear and crafted policies and itineraries that address their finds and projections.

I guess they are not hopeful that Russia & surrounding areas will be stable by next season Better to change the itineraries now than disappoint & have to scramble again next year to find ports that are safe to visit YMMV 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day more and more animosity grows. I mean would you go knowing your supporting that country's actions.......... And better start looking at China who is waving a sword in the pacific and Tiwan. This whole situation is not looking good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
