Taylorr1 Posted August 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2023 MSC changed the departure port from Athens to Istanbul for my cruise. I already purchased non refundable airfare to Athens. Will they help compensate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sealynx Posted September 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Probably not, but it can be a reason for a full refund of the cruise far when you cancel. But then you're still stuck with your flight to Athens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierun Posted September 1, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I understand your airfare may not be refundable, but is a flight credit an option? Basically allowing you to use the money towards a future flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ReneeFLL Posted September 1, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Did you purchase insurance? That would probably help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already purchased non refundable airfare to Athens. Will they help compensate? Highly unlikely. We had our embarkation port changed from Shanghai to Singapore due to Covid and nothing was offered regarding the change. Our airline allowed us to change the destination though. 6 hours ago, ReneeFLL said: Did you purchase insurance? That would probably help. The only issue there is that the flight isn't cancelled. If the flight is still going ahead, the insurance company probably won't be interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
