Up until now, I have never cancelled an event, one I had booked a long time in advance. But I have just cancelled a cruise for the Fall of 2023. Wendy found about this cruise last year at Playa Royale. I wanted a cruise to begin in Halifax and she found a Silverseas Line that goes from Halifax down the Eastern Seaboard, stopping at all the cities along the way and ending at Fort Lauderdale. I had been to all the cities but never from the Ocean. So I booked the 12 day cruise, beginning at the end of September.
But I began to rethink my decision. I did fine on the cruise this Spring. But I have just had a major set back with my walking due to my foot. I have not been able to do much walking so my legs are still shaky and weak and I am afraid I will not be fit enough by the Fall. I can now walk without pain but I must build up my stamina bit by bit. I did not think that I would be able to take any excursions so I finally decided to stop wasting the money. And I cancelled the cruise. Now when I leave Nova Scotia I will fly to Mississippi.
The Silverseas Cruise line refunded my deposit and cancelled the cruise for me. They were nice about it. But I was irritated to hear that they withhold $250 per person as an administration fee. I objected and told them that it was extortion but to no avail. Even though I spoke to a boss, they would not budge. So they stole my $500. But my cruise on the Silverseas has been cancelled. I do not know if I am pleased or sad.
