A couple who forked out more than £3,000 for a cruise getaway have been left devastated after their holiday was cancelled just a month before they were due to go - because their cabin is to be used as a Covid-19 isolation room instead.
Devastated couple Claire Bromley, 58, who uses a wheelchair, and husband Keith, 62, booked the two-week P&O cruise across the Canaries last year. The disappointed pair will now be heading for a break in Blackpool instead, which they admitted was a "bit of a step down" from what they had planned.
P&O Cruises blamed 'Covid protocols' for the cancellation, with the couple's disabled cabin set to be used as an isolation room. The company apologised to the Bromleys after being contacted by StokeonTrentLive.
