Judith and other passengers arrived in the Hungarian capital on Monday lunchtime, but were brought to the ship only to be told the air con had broken. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Around 1930 local time, she said they were transferred to hotels and had to make their own arrangements for food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We have since found out that the air con has been broken for a little while, in fact the people who were here last week on a cruise had to be in a hotel as well. So they did know about this, so we were a little bit upset by that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Europe has been in the grip of a heatwave, and temperatures are forecast to hit 39C in Budapest on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Passengers were today taken back onto the ship for lunch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Another traveller, Melanie Roberts, praised the crew for ensuring there was plenty of water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But she said there were &#8220;a few people who are quite distressed with the situation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;There are some elderly people on here and people who are not as mobile as others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I think basically now we&#8217;re getting to&#8230; the stage where people just want to go home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In a statement, Tui River Cruises told the BBC it was &#8220;aware of a technical issue affecting the air conditioning on Tui Skyla following the extreme heat in Budapest, and we&#8217;re very sorry for the disruption this is causing to our customers&#8217; holidays&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The ship is currently in Budapest, where engineers and specialist teams are working to fix this as quickly as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Following the statement, a letter given to passengers, seen by the BBC, said more time was needed to fully fix the problem and the decision had been taken to cancel the cruise. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">People affected will receive a full refund and \u00a3100 voucher as a gesture of goodwill. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
