Three-year cruise canceled weeks before shoving off, after one woman sold her apartment to join unique voyage
Life at Sea Cruises, a three-year cruise around the world, was canceled just two weeks before it was supposed to sail from Amsterdam.
Passengers who booked trips have been told refunds will be issued in monthly installments
...
Life at Sea Cruises' first three-year sailing was announced in March and promised passengers willing to fork out at least $29,999 per year
You're viewing a single thread.
Refund paid in monthly installments seems like a huge red flag too…yikes. Hopefully these passengers can come out of this mostly okay at least.
Yeah that was my first thought. I'm willing to bet the company declares bankruptcy soon.
Seems like fraud to announce that close to leaving, the monthly payments on top makes it worse.
Was wondering if I floated a bad thousand dollar check if my restitution would be allowed in monthly installments.
(with a few extra steps) yes
Wage garnishment, repayment plans, etc. The difference is for you it typically requires litigation before you're "allowed" to. Technically it's probably the same for them if someone challenged it, but they have the benefit of litigation costing less than all the paid lump sums, where your proverbial thousand-dollar check would not.
I bet it would cost more than a thousand, too.
