Disappointment is a damage worth suing for, after a High Court ruling today allowed a New South Wales man to appeal after his luxury cruise turned into a bus tour.Scenic Tours appealed that decision, but that was overthrown by the High Court todayThe court has upheld an appeal by a man who wanted compensation after his Scenic Tours European River Cruise was disrupted by flooding on the Danube in 2013.

But their dream of unpacking once, relaxing and enjoying the attractions while on a luxury cruise through Europe, was upended when the trip turned into a bus tour.
