We weren't just bumped off the ship without an opportunity to refuse. We
were called by our travel agent 2 days before we were scheduled to leave &
give the opportunity to be bumped. Since were retired it really didn't make
much difference which date we cruised. A few years ago when we were both
working it would have been a different situation having to arrange for
coverage on our jobs. The biggest annoyances was my that my wife had to
unpack her suitcase. I wish there was a list for people who wish to be
bumped as we cruise often these days.
