I have been impacted by the cancellation. The original transatlantic was 15 nights including stops in Bahamas, Bermuda, Azores, Porto, La Coruna and finishing in the UK. We paid £2400 for two for a balcony. It was great as you never had more than 4 sea days in a row.
The big attraction was the Bahamas and Bermuda stops. There are plenty other “European cruises from Miami” as I call transatlantics that don’t stop anywhere.
The new transatlantic goes to Azores, Malaga, Cartagena and Valencia. So it’s a poor in comparison. Especially on an old ship. No real counter office or incentive to keep the booking. The current pricing (£1800 for a balcony) is ok for an old ship with a dull itinerary - those transatlantics always stay price stable / drop in price closer to the time so don’t see it increasing in price.
The Odyssey transatlantic is a much better choice. Great stops. Newer ship, more to do. The price only increases - currently £2500 for two in a balcony. We would have moved over to this if we haven’t already done this route or if it was cheaper but it’s already been on sale for 8 months so is being snapped up
