You have priority debarkation when returning to whatever port you are sailing out from. 

I was basically above it on the Magic on 6 and at night during rough seas we could hear stuff clanking around from it. 

What port in Jamaica?  Cozumel would require a taxi and Grand Cayman a taxi or public bus.

I always call and they email me a new confirmation with new price before we are off the phone.

This is copied from Nationwide luxury cruise insurance, not so cut and dry. I was wondering why changing ports of call for weather would an insurance company reimburse you. There are so many itinerary changes on cruise ships, especially tendering ports. The refund would be more than your insurance premium.

 

 

In the event a Cruise makes a Change in Your Trip Itinerary after Your actual departure date we will pay up to the Maximum Benefit shown on the Confirmation of Coverage.

Change in Your Trip Itinerary shall mean the Cruise has a documented; 1) fire; or 2) mechanical breakdown; or 3) virus that affects 30% or more passengers; or 4) an event on board that suspends 30% or more of the ship’s services for 24 hours; or 5) a delay leaving or arriving at/from a Port of Call of more than 3 hours from the scheduled itinerary.
Verification by the Cruise of the change in the scheduled Trip itinerary will be necessary for claim payment.

I'm referring to the "port of call change prior to departure". Seems like people are getting notified of the chages before their sailing date.

Looking into a cruise that will go to at least A & B islands.   Bonaire is so cool.   been there and did the most amazing excursion.  Drove these twizzy cars around the island with a tour guide.  OMG is was amazing and was looking forward to that again..  Going to sit back and enjoy my upcoming cruise in  Feb.  going to Aruba, Curaco , :LaRomana and Turks... but again we are there for at least 8 hrs..  

Enjoy you Havana..  Can I ask where you get your insurance from??

Feb 6 2021 It is as follow

2 sea Days

Aruba 8-4 (was supposed to be 8a -11p) shorten time by 7 hrs..  

LaRomana 1p - 6p (supposed to be Bonaire 9a -10-p) Bonaire is beautiful like Aruba... such a friendly island.

San Juan 8a-4p (Cucarco  8- 5)  not a fan been there several times.  

Amber Cove (private island) 9-5

two sea days.

I truely do think this is a downgrade... Yes we go to an extra stop they say.. 

Upset yes.... and I am  still going undecided.   My heart was set for ABC islands and the extra long time their.  Can explore.  Even had my shore excursions all planned out 

 

That really stinks.  I know that they can change ports etc but how can you charge for the ABC's and then do that.  I would be seriously considering cancelling if it didn't cost me too much and pick a different sailing.  If mine changes I'm so close that I'll suck it up. I'm finally about to try Havana and we have insurance that will pay $500 pp for port of call change. That will ease my pain. 

So I checked the Curacao schedule.  Every Southern Caribbean route in 2020 on Horizon has at least 2 of the ABC's as a stop. If they took Bonaire away they added 2 other stops. When doing that they switched Curacao to the 2nd stop (previously Bonaire).  But according to the Curacao schedule online the 9/5 and 11/14 sailings are no where to be found.

Hi everyone, 

 

Right now Carnival has the early saver sale going on is there anyway to book it without the sale? Is the sale a good idea? From what I read than the deposit is non-refundable?

 

Thanks so much

Click more options under the early saver sale price and you will see all your options.  Read the disclaimer under learn more for each to see cancellation info etc

The Aft deck burger sounds good...any reviews on that?

My husband had the burgers and really liked them. 

I have sluthed online with an outdated Bonaire port schedule and found the following to be true for 2020:  every  time the Horizon is docked alone in Bonaire the itinerary has not changed.  Everytime (except 12/30 stop) 2 ships are listed Horizon changed it's itinerary.  So I'm guessing one dock is closed in Bonaire. 

Aruba and HMC both for the beaches. 

Valor has it.

I booked the ABC cruise on Horizon for Feb 2021;  got an email Thursday am saying due to unavailability port; we were not going.   To me this is a down grade since Aruba was in port from 8a to 11p,  Bonaire almost the same and Curacao 9 to 5.   I booked this cruise for the ABC islands..  

Did they offer you anything for the change?  That's a total downgrade from a southern Caribbean cruise.  I'm supposed to be doing ABC's in May and I'm worried now.  I'm too close to cancel if it happens to me.

I'm surprised they let kids under 12 hang out on the cabanas. They are basically open to the neighbors. If that's the case they may as well let any age kids stay in that room, but not access the pool area. 

What if they actually check and wife can't use Havana. I'd kill my husband if that happened to me.  Also, I would imagine if a 6 year old was on the patio and your neighbors get annoyed they will complain. If you can't book a 6 year old in that cabin why would they let you bring you kid there to hang out. 

I'd be calling and trying to switch your wife in with you and sucking up the cheers cost. Her cards will show she's not allowed in Havana. 

I'm booked on the 11/14 sailing and mine aren't up either. They haven't listed them yet, I've been watching for quite a while. 

No one wants to hang out in the Havana with your little kid and certainly not our own. END OF STORY...that's why mine will be at home with grandma. 12+ Get over it. 

Kids have a number assigned on their first sailing. Either go online and look up with his info or call. I wouldn't bother making a new one and then trying to combine.

The Legend you know for sure?   The Breeze also has the machines.

I've never seen a machine on any Carnival ship. Is it possible you are thinking of another cruise line?

It's most likely booked. It only holds something like 32 people a night. 

Has been Rockstar for as long as I can remember.  Haven't been since change to Pepsi.

As the ship isn't totally built yet it's possible the list of features isn't complete. 

Following, I'm on that sailing too.
