Offhand looks great!
I don't get the reference that you reference at the beginning, but it's fine.

The only thing is that the timeline can't be made a bit more clear.
Dates with the year of when things happened etc would make it a bit clearer.

Also maybe make a break between your experience with cruises at the beginning to where the story begins
That's my point...I also didn't get the reference.
Added a table of contents, does that help? Which dates are confusing?

Vague threats of litigation are quite stupid when you are vaguely threatening a company with a legal department. You threaten litigation when you actaully plan on litigating, (or when you are threatening someone who doesn't have a lawyer.)

Also a cease and desist is usually sent by a lawyer

My point was that if you didn't read the other article, referencing doesn't add. But if it's a style of writing, sure.

The headers help a lot, the table of contents itself might actually make it seem overwhelming.

Dates like "last July" and the like are confusing. Are you saying 2023 or 2024? Like next Wednesday

I found the article very straightforward and easy to read. I don't think a table of contents is necessary.

Thanks for digging into this story!

I didn't write last July.
Can you add an editor note with the year to this part of their statement "Unfortunately, last July, Destination 631 Tours"

Otherwise looks great! Really great to go down the rabbit hole and try to get the fullest picture possible.

Does not look good for Costa, but seems to be more of just bad business practices.

Can we see some screenshots of them cancelling his October cruises and what their justification was?
