I booked, ages ago, to go on a weeks cruise with a friend, who this week has fallen and badly broken her wrist.
She has said she still wants to come, but the medics are advising against it as they need to operate, after which she'll have her arm in a sling as well as a cast, to stop her hand moving.
Unfortunately her travel insurer have said she's not covered , so she's asked if I'd agree to move our booking to another date. The booking is in my name, it had to be one or the other.
I'm just selling my house right now, and was looking forward to a break before the actual move takes place. I've also booked and paid for parking, plus a deposit to kennel my dogs.
Its really not the right time for me to change it, her insurer has very damning reviews on Trustpilot, but in all honesty I don't see a good reason for me to lose money to compensate for her dilemma. I am really full on right now hosting house viewings, having spent three weeks decluttering the house. So either she comes against medical advice, and runs the risk of becoming more unwell, or doesn't come and loses her money, or I change the date and lose monies already committed to parking etc?
