Can only assume that Fred has been offered a large sum of cash for his ship The Arcadia. I feel really angry that he has no thought for his disappointed clientele. Interested only in being bought for money! Ever heard of 'integrity' Fred, probably not. I am a District Nurse and have already been dictated to by NHS employers as to when I take my holiday which I had thought I had booked and paid a deposit on, only to find that I cannot now have this. It would seem Fred that you have spoilt your reputation, I will never book with your company again and inform everyone I know how you have treated your customers by your complete lack of regard. This does not serve your company well.

We thought Fred Olsen was a reputable, customer-centric company. Not so - it seems that £££'s come before people.

They offered an alternative date with compensation of £100 per person on board spend. As I can not get the time off work I am having to cancel my holiday!
