We have booked 5 nights thru WD Travel Company and a 7 night DCL trip thru Cruise.com. Everything is paid for including airfare. Will we be out every dollar of our vacation should we stay home? We're talking close to $10,000. Anyone that can advise, please assist. Thank-you.

You'll probably need to call cruise.com and find out theirs. But here is a different travel agencies listing. <a href="http://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/cruise/cruiseterms.htm" target="_blank">http://www.dreamsunlimitedtrav el.com/cruise/cruiseterms.htm</a> Unless you bought the full priced airfare, I doubt it's refundable. I would call all parties involved and find out what the cancellation policies are and if you could rebook for a later date without penalty. Sorry you're going through troubled times.

"Better to be miserable in paradise, than anywhere else" I disagree. I was so excited. My daughter was so excited . . .

To back out 8 days before the big day reeks to me of "freeloader" if you know what I mean. My condolences to your daughter who is probably right now feeling worse than you are. Anyhow, I sum up your husband's sentiments, go and have fun, if he ever comes back get a shotgun (just kidding on that last one).

Originally Posted By eelainea I want to thank everyone once again for your remarks. Bailey finally came forward. He's not coming. It's very complicated. It wasn't about cold feet. He still loves my daughter, but due to family pressure/personal issues, he is moving out of our home and spending time with his father in AZ. As you might imagine, we're in pain and shock. Our love for him remains unconditional. I think my daughter is taking it better than I am. Packing up his room has been the hardest part. But I ramble on. To any Christians who happen upon this post, prayers about this situation would be so appreciated. I am very bitter towards his absentee father and possessive brother who feel they "know what's best" for Bailey. I'm numb/hurt/in shock, etc. I feel I've lost a son. Thanks again, Elaine
