Paul Sawtell from BBC Sussex would like to hear from you if you have been on a cruise or who about to cruise with VoD.
He needs to hear how/when you were told of the engine trouble with the ship. He also wants to see any letters you received from VoD regarding the engine problem causing itinerary changes. He would also like to hear your thoughts about how VoD has treated you too.....both pre and post cruise when you have enquired about the itinerary changes...did they tell you about the engine or did you have to mention it first before they admitted there was a problem???
Please send your experiences to....

Or if you would prefer to write...

Please mark the envelope or subject line on email - 'DISCOVERY'
Would you also make sure that you give Paul your contact information too as he may wish to chat to you about your experiences.
Paul spoke to me yesterday afternoon, he wants to build up as much information as he can from those who have been affected or could be affected by the engine problems aboard Discovery.
He would like copies of any letters that you may have received (DO NOT SEND ORIGINALS AS YOU MAY NEED THOSE IF YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE THINGS FURTHER VIA ABTA OR THROUGH LEGAL PROCEEDINGS).
So if you have been affected by this engine problem and your cruise was spoilt in any way by the problems, then please contact Paul.
If you have paid high surcharges or the surcharge was too high and it forced you to cancel the cruise, Paul would like to hear from you too.
Thanks everyone, hopefully Paul will have alot to read through. Do not worry if you do not get an immediate reply, Paul will need to read through everything first.
