Booked with Empress May 22 for three weeks $384.78. Finally booked airfare in July so husband followed up 7/4 with Empress to cornfirn all reservations we had.we were told they had been hacked"system issues for 2 weeks and repeated disconnection and a quote of $623.14". On 7/12 I called and spoke with Praveen and was told this was the price and please cornfirm to hold the reservation . I did since it was in line with last years price of $726.42 but he was giving me a discounted price by $ 57. For my trouble. Last night My message informed that I did not take out any insurance (which last year 3 weeks had liability included ) and the price would b $5. a day for liability (no deductible )and $ 10. A day with $1000. deductible CDW whatever that is. Anyone else going thru this... Check your reservations for peace of mind if you were booked in that time frame!
