Snow disruption..has it affected you?

We have been fairly unscathed as far as this winter goes, very mild temperatures and hardly any rain or the dreaded snow...but low and behold that wintery white stuff made its first appearance over the weekend for a lot of the UK, my hometown of Redditch being one of them. Saturday afternoon saw the first specks which then developed rather heavily into the early evening giving about a 3 inch covering.



Unfortunately my car is not the greatest in this kind of weather, being rear wheel drive,
 so its very lucky that I only live about a 15 minute walk from work...so no excuses for me! With the snow fall, it did get me into thinking about passengers who choose to go away in the Winter time and the potential hazzards you may face if you do. I mean if I cant even get off my drive...

Let's face it, we would all love to just go away in January to the Caribbean for a bit of Winter sunshine but what happens when it snows and your flight is disrupted?  Well, generally if you have booked your cruise and flights as a package with the cruise line or if you have booked one of our Tailor Made pacakges then you will be covered for this. If you have packaged your own flights though then you could well be in trouble...if your flight is delayed or cancelled and you miss the cruise then unfortunately, unless you can claim through your travel insurance, you will lose the money you have paid for the cruise...

2 points to consider here when travelling in winter season with flights:
Make sure you have top travel insurance that covers you for as much as it can, such as the one we offer at cruise.co.uk. And, if you are considering booking your own flights, ask us for the package and fly out at very least the day before!

Have you been affected by the adverse weather this weekend with your cruise? Or have you got any bad weather stories you want to share? If you need any advice for booking your winter cruise deal then feel free to get in touch.
