Why would they cancel that cruise?

We just arrived back from the October 7 cruise all is good. Not sure about your air flights especially from Canada but they are continuing to go forward, taxis are running they offered us a shuttle which we took advantage of not sure about hotels. I heard thru the grapevine some of the hotels were giving rooms to first responders. Traffic is flowing so yes there is alot of clean up and rebuilding but they are moving forward!! The cruise was perfect!

We arrived from our cruise today, no problems getting out except the airport personal or lack of anyone who could handle the large amount of people coming into the airport. My suggestion is if you can stay on the day you return from your cruise do it!!

Complete cluster and I am not kidding!! Airport is up and running there still is a curfew and the cruise line suggested not to do any tourist things in PR just go directly tot he airport. When we left the port in San Juan on October 7, Old San Juan was very dark. But all and all it was one of the best cruises we have been on and cannot wait to go back. The staff on the AOS is spectacular they really love their job! Everything will be fine relax, we flew from Cleveland to Orlando on Friday and then on Saturday did Orlando to San Juan and everything was perfect. Hope all of you enjoy your cruise as much as we did!!

While I agree 100% that they 'must' cancel if logistics for Adventure aren't operational, unfortunately Royal Caribbean has proven over the last couple of months that they can't be trusted to make such decisions in the best interest of their passengers. The October 7th Adventure cruise is only the most recent sailing where they've strung along passengers, with the lack of changes or even acknowledgement of potential contingencies suggesting 'everything is fine'.

 

One thought - has anyone due to sail on October 7th on Adventure called up Royal or their travel agent and asked to switch to another cruise (either this weekend out of Florida, or at a later date)? Their latest update invites passengers "do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions"...if it were me, I'd look at alternative cruises and then take them up on that opening and call and ask them "can I change to cruise X without penalty?"

We are flying from Cleveland to San Juan and I am unsure of flights of any sort, so we called RCI today to ask if we could just transfer to the Harmony of the Seas ship since our flight lands in Fort Lauderdale. We were told the cruise is still on and we could not transfer! I am not cancelling the cruise just want to be sure to go on one and transfer it over. Our hotel on Friday is cancelled so now if our flight is cancelled and the cruise is going to happen we loose it all!! My question is that there has to be alot of people flying into Puerto Rico for this cruise, does this mean no one is showing up and we all loose our money!!
