6.11

6.11.1

You shall not be entitled to compensation under sections 6.6, 6.7 and 6.9 or the provision of accommodation at no charge to you under section 6.5 where the cancellation or delay is caused by weather conditions endangering the safe operation of the ship or by extraordinary circumstances hindering the performance of the passenger service which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.
