I have been confirmed on the Melody on the 9th of May from Genoa. Thank you all SO much, the information on this site really paid off. I paid £10 - only thing extra was that I have to pay for a hotel night before, but that was in the small print and I was allowed to sort this out myself.

Hi Luci.

When so many people are still continuing to have problems, just getting a cruise I feel a little sheepish in advising you that Rise have now refunded the £99 flight supplement Kerry Ann originally insisted was a pre-condition my accepting her "£10 Cruise"........

Undoubtedly this, I am convinced, has only happened in view of both Lara and Carol at the Daily Express negotiating on my behalf.

My sincere thanks to them. AND also to the team at Holiday-Truth.who in creating and managing this valuable communication site, have allowed people to exchange essential information.

Luci, would you kindly amend my cruise entry shown on 9th May 2005 to show ONLY £10 paid.

Thank you
Anthony

Hi, Lucy

I have just joined this forum. Please add me to the 16th April 2005 Caribbean cruise: Houston - Cozumel - Roatan - Cayman Islands - Houston as "allocated". Had a call from Rise (Customer Service) last Friday offering me a £499 upgrade for a double cabin, vouchers or "wating list" for 2006 with no guarantees. Refused vouchers and was told that will be contacted by Rise Travel by the end of this week to discuss a possible cabin upgrade (presumably for the same cruise). No call yet. I see only 3 people have asked so far to be added to the 16 April list. I wonder if there are more who were originally allocated this cruise and if anyone has heard from Rise regarding it.

Thanks for your hard work and support.

Hi Luci,
Just noticed that my listing for the `confirmed` 04.07.05 Genoa etc. on Melody does not show the price I paid. It was £10 for the cruise. (I also opted for £35 insurance but that doesn`t count does it)

Cheers,
TonyW

I am travelling 06/06/05 on the Melody flying to Milan from Heathrow, then transfer to ship but am flying down from Teesside to Heathrow- suppliment was £68.00 - bit cheaper than the train but more convenient as luggage is booked through from the start. lets hope it gets there Only £10.00 paid plus extra flight from Teesside

Hi thinkpink

I think your cruise is one of those that's been cancelled, but you'll have to check both this thread and the main one (now well over 200 pages long) to be sure.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.....

Fay

Thanks Fay

I only found this site today so I'll check now. But with 40 people already allocated to that cruise it looked a non-starter anyway. Were they planning to draw lots on the quayside?????

Hi thinkpink

Your cruise was probably by Louis Cruise Lines, and someone posted months ago that Rise were supposed to charter Louis ships - but things went sour and Louis threatened to sue R*** for implicating them in the first place. So it appears no Louis cruises will happen, though there are still people who think they will - that's why I don't want to say your cruise has DEFINITELY been called off. If you phone the Daily Express (Laura Pearce) on their freephone number (see the ''links, phone numbers & info'' thread) she should be able to sort things out for you.

In theory, it would be helpful to read the entire thread, now over 220 pages long - but even if you read all day every day, it will take you ages - and your eyes will be VERY sore It's always difficult to know what to advise people who have only just found this forum, as so many of us have been given conflicting info that none of us knows what to believe any more.

I hope this helps.

Fay

Thanks again, Fay

I've just spent my lunch time catching up with all the threads - phew!!! However, I have a much clearer picture now and thank goodness for boards like this. Let's all stick to our guns and hope we all get our cruise at some point.

Hello Nellon, until a short while there were about 6 or 7 for the cruise you mention including me 'icc' but i have since been told that they can no longer offer me this cruise so i have got some vouchers to mull over, be interested to here how you get on good luck you will need it, mark
