Had booked on Noordam for the San Diego to Sydney cruise in October but then when ports were cancelled and substituted we
cancelled. Now we notice this has happened with Zuiderdam cruise to Fort Lauderdale.
We have a cruise booked on P&O Australia on the former Star Princess (now Pacific Encounter). Today we were advised that
Komodo Island was substituted with Lombok and also our Cairns overnight had been substituted with an additional sea day.
My feeling is that Carnival Corporate have directed brands to reduce port time and increase sea days to save fuel costs.
Doesn’t matter that many choose a particular cruise for specific ports that we wanted to visit. We are not the first consideration
anymore.
