A grandad who wanted to treat his family to a luxury cruise after being through 'hell and back' due to health issues has had those dreams knocked back. John Coates, 68, and wife Sandra, 65, booked their cruise long before Covid brought travel to a halt.
Their cruise to the Norwgian Fjords was finally re-scheduled for this summer with the couple excited to finally get away with their family, including their two sons, their wives, and four grandchildren, who are all under the age of 10. With just weeks to go until the trip the family were forced to cancel the holiday, after being told by P&O that they had been moved from the disabled balcony cabin they'd booked to an inside cabin. This would not accommodate John's mobility scooter.
Sandra told the LiverpoolECHO: "After three years of waiting we have had to cancel along with our family of 10. This has upset my husband greatly as this was meant to be a well deserved holiday for our family and our grandchildren have had to accept this.
