When you book a fledgling cruise line, cancellations are always a fear. It looks like that fear came true for some Haimark passengers. USA Today is reporting that the small ship line started cancelling trips in November. It is supposedly related to the company's recent bankruptcy filing.
Cancellations can happen with the major cruise lines too, but with those companies there is a better chance to get a refund and many more cruise alternatives where you can redeem your cancellation credit.
As a reminder, if you are booking on a small line or you have some concerns about the future of your trip, there are plenty of travel insurance providers.

Cruise Radio's Norwegian Escape review
We keep seeing the Norwegian Escape in the news, but what is the actual ship like? Doug Parker posted his latest Cruise Radio show on the Norwegian Escape. Joining him is Jason from Popular Cruising. The two are very experienced cruisers and give a thorough review of the ship.
They give the ship high marks for food choice and the entertainment.
Later Nancy Schretterr joined the show to discuss the family options, including the water park and ropes course.
If there is one criticism of the show, it is that they do get caught up in comments that really aren't going to concern the average cruiser (location of the USB port?). But overall this is a worthwhile listen and definitely a good resource for anyone considering a trip on the Escape.
