POSTPONED ( UNABLE INSURANCE ) Lionel Loves Vinyl rocks the boat on our 4 HR Sunset Party Cruise | Singles 40+

Dear valued Steppin’ Out Events cruisers, đ
It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the postponement of our much-anticipated cruise. This would have marked our 13th spectacular party cruise, and we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating with all of you. If youâve already purchased a ticket for this event, rest assured that you will receive an email, and no one will lose their hard-earned money.
The backstory: After the challenges posed by the pandemic, we faced an unexpected hurdle. Despite our efforts, we were unable to secure insurance coverage from any Australian companies. Consequently, we had to explore options overseas. Our insurance history includes a reputable global companyâone that has stood the test of time. However, just four days ago, our insurance broker delivered disheartening news: they would no longer be insuring âany outside events.â This left us without the safety net of insurance for our cruise.
Over the past four days, weâve tirelessly reached out to various insurance providers, only to receive the same response. With a mere six days remaining until the scheduled cruise, weâve made the difficult decision to postpone the event. Our priority is to resolve the insurance situation promptly, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we humbly ask for your patience and understanding. Rest assured, we are committed to finding a solution and appreciate your unwavering support. Together, weâll navigate these challenging waters and set sail once again.
Thank you for being part of the Steppinâ Out Events family.
Warm regards,
Kathy Edwards Founder, Steppinâ Out Events1.
