You're right, and that's why I wouldn't be making any of the cruise bookings, positioning flights, hotel bookings, train tickets/bus tickets, etc until about June, and see if my itinerary ticket is still holding, and many others have flown their 055 tickets. If my 055 ticket gets cancelled after my cruise, etc bookings have been made, I'll make sure my annual travel insurance policy will cover the difference between the cost of booking new flights over the same itinerary and what I paid under this by this then cancelled, EF (US$850).
But then again, if my travel insurance will cover any excess cost of an identical 055 ticket, I really should make all my other bookings for cruises and positioning flights right away to establish my travel position, shouldn't I?
