She was looking forward to this cruise. Thanks to the sale of her house, Meredith had even indulged in something crazy:
reserved a cabin with balcony on the seventh floor of the shipall for the tidy sum of 510,000 euros, explains The Mirror. She never would have imagined that her project could fall through.
But a few days before boarding, the company Life at Sea, organizer of the trip, announced the first bad news:
the departure initially planned for Miami, United States, would take place in the Bahamas. A slight setback for Meredith, until, unfortunately, the cruise is permanently canceled. Miray Cruises, which owns Life at Sea, was experiencing financial problems and was no longer able to rent the ship for the trip. Vedat Ugurlu, owner of the company, also spoke about the incidents in the Middle East, but promised to reimburse all passengers.
The trip of a lifetime canceled, she starts from scratch
Despite her disappointment, Meredith refused to give up. Rather than feeling sorry for herself, she decided to take this mishap philosophically. According to her, the fact of no longer having fixed roots offers her a freedom she had never known in the past. “It may seem stressful to no longer have a home, but for me it's liberating. I no longer have any attachment“, she explained.
Despite the cancellation of her cruise, Meredith hasn't lost her desire to travel. Always eager for discoveries, she announced
plan to embark on a new
cruise in Patagonia, Antarctica and Argentina. She also plans to visit Saudi Arabia and Dubai. “I got back up and ready for the next stage of my life“, she said in an interview with Mirror.
