After plucking up my courage and booking my first solo trip to Vietnam in May of this year I was gutted yesterday to receive a call to say that due to being undersubscribed the trip was cancelled. I have had a look at alternatives and the China Inspiration tour looks equally as wonderful but after speaking to an operator there are at the moment only seven people booked on this and that would need to double to confirm it, I totally understand that a trip needs to have enough people to make it viable but it is so disappointing and frustrating to have had this happen , I have to book time off work quite some way ahead. Has anyone else experienced this ?
Hello,
My very first trip with JY was cancelled, and after all the courage it takes to book, yes it is one very nasty knock back.
In my case it was not the fault of JY, but due to flooding. I had booked a river cruise and the river burst its banks.
I have read on here though of others that have been in your situation, booking time off work, arranging transport, insurance, etc, etc. It doesn't appear as though it happens very often, but yes, it is not unknown.
Having booked once, it will be easier to book again, if you can find something that appeals. The further ahead you book the less likely it is that there will be many booked. Several seem to fill up in the last few weeks. Not a lot of use when you have to book time off well in advance.
Hope you find something.
Sylvia
