MSC Opera SUCKS!!

I booked a cruise for end of Dec and it Cost us R35k for the trip. We made the final payment on 14th October as we were told we were going to lose the cruise if we didnt pay. I paid the amount owing and the next day, an announcement came out saying the cruise was not happening any longer. Now I have to wait 7 months till I will possibly get refund. What a *******!! I will never go on a cruise again!!
