The would-be cruisers will be waiting a long time for the return of their money.
There’s no fool like a rich old fool.
So it was the scam it sounded like it was from the start.
Money? What money? Oh... That money... We’ll pay you back in installments, or... You can put that money towards some land we have for sale in Florida’s everglades. The view is fantastic and all the water is free.
Pretty sure if these poor people were willing to part with their money for one pile of BS, they’ll buy into another BS scheme with ease.
“Others say they have nowhere to return to, having sold or rented out their homes in anticipation of the round-the-world voyage, as well as jettisoning their possessions.”
At least they have a little cash.
whoops....no ship makes a difference.
“I would guess the money is gone.”
If the ship never materialized, what chances does the money have?
A fool and his money....
“it has no ship”
Details can be so boring....
;-)
Why dont these folks just join the Navy?
How long did they hold on to these people’s money?
Take no ship from no one.
Should have settled for a three-hour tour.
Celestyal Cruises bought the ship right out from under Miray Cruises while it was being stylishly retro-fitted for Miray's 3-houryear-tour, but there's no indication Miray put up any kind of a fight.
Celestyal has already announced the ship will replace their Celestyal Olympia next year. "Gilligan!"
The new vessel will offer Life at Sea Cruises residents an enchanting fusion of amenities and convenience with redesigned staterooms, a business center with offices, a cigar and wine bar, along with other creative offerings, the company said.There will also be a 24-hour on-call hospital with complimentary medical visits, learning and enrichment lectures, and opportunities to engage in volunteer and philanthropic initiatives.
During the three-year journey, the 42,000-ton vessel’s voyage will span over 130,000 miles covering 382 ports, seven continents, and 148 countries.
“Seeing such an overwhelming interest in our itinerary and unique ports where we will always be in summer is truly thrilling,” added Ethem Bayramoglu, COO of Miray Cruises.
“This is evidence of the allure of our extended world cruise concept and the exceptional experiences that await our residents aboard MV Lara.”
Prior to its inaugural departure from Istanbul on November 1, 2023, Miray Cruises will be hosting a series of welcoming events and revelries in Turkey for all booked residents which coincides with the 100th anniversary celebrations of the foundation of the Turkish Republic."
due diligence...
That would be a real slap in the face on top of the fortune they already spent.

I know you’re a cruise freak. You didn’t book on this one did you?
How is it possible to be so stupid?
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong, baby
And you’ll be sorry someday
