Three-Year World Cruise in Turmoil: Ship Concerns and Refund Demands.

Customers who paid thousands of dollars for a multi-year cruise that was set to visit all seven continents and 135 countries are now demanding refunds amid internal uncertainty and management issues with the cruise company's founding staff. The cruise, organized by Miray Cruises and its subsidiary company Life at Sea Cruises, is now in limbo after ties between the two companies were severed. Prospective passengers are wary of hopping aboard and some have received refunds, while others have until the end of June to send deposits. Miray Cruises is still planning to go forward with the cruise, but some customers are opting for shorter-term cruises until the situation is resolved.
