Creator's Key Takeaways

We should be enjoying our three- night cruise to Debuga on board Piano Aurora, but unfortunately it was cancelled with 24 hours notice.

We were both quite shocked by this as we'd done 400 mi of travel. had a hotel stay. Got another hotel booked for that night with no chance of cancellation

We've been following the Facebook group for the cruise since the cancellation and seen some of the responses people who have managed to contact PNO have had, which seems to be pretty much contact your travel insurance and don't call us

I can't see us booking another cruise with PNO, especially if they follow through with the response they provided so far

Creator's Tips & Advice

Contact your travel insurance for late cancellation costs
Try to recoup costs directly from the cruise line
Monitor national news for potential resolution

YouTube Video Description

Our 3 night cruise to Zeebrugge onboard P&O Aurora, was cancelled, with 24 hours notice, before we were due to board. P&O have offered a refund of the cruise fare, and 20% future cruise credit, but not to cover any costs incurred by such a late cancellation.
