أعمال · أزمة الرحلات البحرية السكنيةفواتير الفنادق تثقل سكان فيلا في، فيما تظل مدخرات التقاعد معلقةكُتب 30 أكتوبر 2026 في 11:21 ص UTCشاهدالنص المفرّغ0:07Villa V provided port shuttles but left one couple to cover their own hotel bills.0:11On October twenty nine, we reported the suspension and orders for residents to leave0:15their floating homes.0:16Now passengers describe the cost they're carrying ashore.0:19While retirement savings remain exposed, who's paying for life on land and what can0:24residents recover?0:25The Odyssey remains at Sehanoakville, Cambodia, where residents are finding hotels0:29and arranging onward travel.0:30The Florida-based operator, Villa V Residences, announced its suspension on October0:35twenty-seventh.0:36These new accounts describe what followed that shutdown.0:39Lynette Cannan and Johan Bodin say the company helped unload suitcases and provided0:43shuttles to and from the port, but they say it hasn't helped pay for hotels.0:47Earlier management said lodging and local transport were covered, while0:50international travel was excluded.0:52The couple's experience leaves a gap between promised support and delivered help.0:56It's unclear whether assistance varied among residents or hadn't yet reached them.0:59Another resident offered lodging help and was trying to arrange a charter flight to1:03San Francisco.1:04That flight is still being arranged.1:06Kanan and Bowdoin plan about a week in a Seahanookville hotel, then time in Phnom1:10Penh.1:10After that, they intend to visit Vietnam, Bali, and Thailand, seeking a lower cost1:15way to sustain themselves.1:16The pair, both fifty-six sold a business to fund a one hundred dollars zero cabin1:20and paid three dollars five hundred in monthly maintenance.1:23They expected fifteen years aboard.1:25Now they don't expect to recover their money, and they've decided to move on even if1:28sailing resumes.1:30A planned maintenance fee increase would have priced them out.1:32Kanan ran a windshield replacement company from the ship, and they documented their1:36experience as living life on a cruise.1:38She says residents are settling together ashore, keeping friendships from their two1:42years aboard.1:43Rena Cavaza says she paid one hundred and seventy dollars zero and still had1:47eighteen months left on her voyage.1:48The Brisbane resident is staying in a local hotel and arranging to return home.1:52She described one final opportunity to collect her belongings.1:55Cavaza said she had no word about what would happen next.1:59Her account of a last day of ship access applies to her circumstances.2:02Other residents are also trying to retrieve possessions while deciding where they2:06can afford to live.2:07Lisa McKay says she transferred sixty three dollars five hundred from her retirement2:11savings for a voyage she hadn't even begun.2:13The former Brisbane teacher was due to board in Kuala Lumpur on November fifteenth.2:18She fears she'll recover very little.2:20Before paying by direct bank transfer, McKay questioned a booking agent about2:24negative online comments.2:25The agent reassured her that she wouldn't work for the company if she thought it was2:28in trouble.2:29She also said the company would arrange another ship if Odyssey couldn't operate.2:32Mackay is still waiting for that promised alternative and for clarity about her2:36money.2:36She also believes travel insurance won't cover her loss.2:39Her insurance position depends on her own policy.2:42That belief doesn't describe every passenger's cover.2:45Former resident Sharon Lane still owns a cabin despite leaving last year for health2:48reasons.2:49She says her contract prevents renting it out, and she doubts she can sell it now.2:53She needed weeks to arrange her own departure.2:55Her friends had only hours.2:56Lane describes friends juggling transport, visas, and housing.3:00Another passenger says they sold a home and business in Australia to buy a place3:03aboard.3:04For people who replace their homes with cabins.3:06Leaving the ship creates an immediate housing problem.3:09The specific passenger count is two hundred and three, mostly Americans, although a3:13conflicting estimate put the group at three hundred to four hundred.3:15Those figures describe the affected group.3:18Nobody has said how many passengers remain in Cambodia now.3:21The ship also carried one hundred and fifty six crew, and its capacity was six3:25hundred and fifty passengers.3:27Earlier accounts identified fifteen passenger nationalities, including Australians.3:31The approximately two hundred metro vessel began its voyage in two thousand and3:35twenty-four with a planned three and a half-year itinerary covering four hundred and3:38twenty-five destinations across one hundred forty-seven countries, forty-seven3:41countries.3:42Residents described departure notices on October twenty, six twenty-seven and3:45twenty-eight.3:46Some had eight hours or less to pack.3:48Those accounts may reflect different notices or stages of departure, but nobody has3:52explained the mismatch or established one deadline for everyone.3:55The voyage had lasted about seven hundred and fifty days when it stopped.3:58A fifteen-year expectation of residence or an offer lasting the ship's lifetime.4:02Extended beyond that first itinerary.4:04Cabin purchases and ongoing fees also varied widely.4:07So one passenger's price doesn't describe everyone's agreement.4:10Cannon and Bowdoin's one hundred dollars.4:12Zero purchase came with their own three dollars, five hundred monthly maintenance4:16bill.4:16Some lifetime offers started around two hundred thirty zero US dollars.4:19Other monthly fees were described as five dollars, zero to eleven dollars, zero.4:24Each resident's recovery will depend on their agreement and the company's finances.4:27Captain Emanuele Judas sent residents ashore during what was described as a critical4:31fuel situation.4:32The operator said it shut down one generator, a chiller, and non-essential lighting.4:37Residents were leaving amid fuel shortages and reductions in ship systems.4:40Villa V says extraordinary fuel costs and operating losses made its business model4:45unsustainable.4:46It linked the increase to the Iran War.4:48Slowing the itinerary and spending longer in port hadn't closed the shortfall, and4:51management said passing the full increase to residents wasn't realistic.4:54The company puts its earlier monthly fuel allocation at about one eight hundred US4:59dollars per cabin.5:00In parts of Asia, it estimates six tenths zero to eight zero US dollars.5:04These estimates describe the operators' costs.5:06Rather than a new bill issued to every resident, fuel pressure reaches beyond this5:10ship.5:11Carnival said higher fuel prices added about one hundred fifty million US dollars to5:15its two thousand and twenty-six outlook.5:17Royal Caribbean said second.5:18Quarter fuel costs rose twenty-seven percent from a year earlier.5:22Odyssey residents, meanwhile, describe repeated attempts to raise money from them.5:26Villa V reportedly sought three dollars million in emergency resident loans in5:30April, offering annual interest of twelve to twenty four percent.5:34Principal was due after twelve months.5:35A later fuel appeal sought another three hundred sixty dollars zero.5:39How much those requests raised is unclear.5:41Cavaza says fuel.5:43Money requests began as far back as February and returned before Cambodia.5:47She says some residents supplied hundreds of thousands of dollars extra.5:50An earlier September appeal sought one dollar million.5:53The requests themselves don't tell us how much cash actually arrived.5:57Some residents describe fuel loans they expected to recover with interest.6:00Another disputes a surcharge, saying their contract guaranteed the price.6:04Those claims depend on individual agreements and amendments.6:07Which also determine what repayment or refund rights passengers can pursue.6:11Lynn Montoya, traveling with her husband Paul, says requests for fuel and other6:15money came every two to four weeks.6:17They included money to leave Cambodia.6:19She blames mismanagement as well as funding problems, challenging the idea that6:23higher fuel costs explain everything.6:25Montoya also alleges crew working aboard hadn't been paid.6:28The number affected and the amounts owed are unclear, and the company hasn't6:32publicly resolved her allegation.6:33The one hundred and fifty six crew aboard face unanswered questions about6:36employment, accommodation, and getting home.6:39Chief Executive Mikhail Peterson has described borrowing money and stretching6:43payments and said a Chapter11 bankruptcy filing was likely.6:46No filing has been confirmed.6:47The company proposed a sixty-day effort to restructure its finances and bring in new6:52capital.6:52That period doesn't guarantee a restart or sixty days of passenger support.6:56Holly Hennessy remains in Cambodia, hoping new financing or ownership can restore7:00the voyage.7:01Some residents hope to organize a purchase of the ship.7:03A rescue deal still hasn't been announced.7:06To hear is no confirmed departure or residential voyage restart, a possible October7:10thirty.7:11One movement was tentative.7:12Residents still need to know what support will be paid for, how long it will last,7:16and whether they can recover money committed to their cabins.7:19Some practical help has reached residents, suitcase unloading and port shuttles.7:23Buchanan and Bowdoin say their hotels remain unpaid by Villa V, and Cavaza is7:27arranging her return to Brisbane.7:28McKay's November fifteenth boarding date is still ahead, while sixty three dollars7:33five hundred has already left her retirement account.اقرأ المقالالتسلسل الزمني للقصةHeyDexمن نقل ماذانقاط نقلتها أكثر من وسيلة إعلامية≠Suspension of the Odyssey’s
