Dear Amy: I paid a $900 deposit to guarantee the cruise for both of us, nine months in advance.
Dear Amy: I was planning to go on a cruise with a good friend, due to leave next month. I paid a $900 deposit to guarantee the cruise for both of us, nine months in advance. It was understood that my friend and I would split the total cost of the cruise 50/50. This includes the deposit and the remaining $2,000 that would be due, plus any other related costs. Last month I discovered I had cancer. I need to begin a chemotherapy regime. No cruise for me.
Given how this has turned out, however, it would be wisest for you two to each pay your own way separately – from the deposit onward. I sincerely hope that your health is fully restored, in order to face this dilemma next year. Dear Amy: My friend “Harry” is an alcoholic. A few years ago he ended up in the hospital facing organ failure due to his drinking. Amazingly, he survived. After that, he attended a few AA meetings via Zoom. He never got a sponsor or actively worked the program.
