There aren't exactly many options to sail to out of Bayonne on a 7 night cruise. Yet the ships are still full.
But there are over 20 countries/islands one can visit on an RC cruise out of the Caribbean market. Just not from NY
What I'm paying for my 2023 cruises isn't much more than I was paying pre-restart
That said the current prices for those cruises is a lot higher than what I booked for
Yes, there was never any intent to shoo people off the ship before dawn. Just to allow those who wanted to GTFO to make it to school/work to do just that.
Do cruise lines themselves have insurance for issues like this? Obviously they have many layers of insurance, but specifically for unexpected delays of their own
Seems odd to pull an Oasis ship in the middle of the spring break season to do a TA unless it's a like for like swap and your cruise will still happen, just on a different ship
For a first time cruiser, the dining package is not worth it. You're better off picking a night or two and picking a specialty restaurant as one-offs, and not with a package.
