It is the single most difficult issue for us. We have 3 miniature schnauzers who are like children to us. We simply include pet sitting fees in the budget anytime we travel as we prefer to have them at home in the environment they are accustomed to. Price would depend on the going rate for a given area I assume but for us it's $30 per day. We also provide food, toiletries, etc for the entire stay. We have never been able to cruise more than two weeks at a time because of our concern for them. As we drive two days before and after, that makes for a long trip...at least they seem to think so...[emoji6].

I just logged on to check a possible excursion for Dominica and realized it was no longer a stop. I had no idea the change had occurred for either cruise. Equinox lost Dominica in favor of an overnight in St. Maarten and our 2017 Eclipse cruise no longer stops in Grenada and will overnight in Aruba.

We love St. Maarten and Aruba but would much prefer the additional port and to spend the evening "cruising" rather than docked. We are very disappointed at the changes and are not certain at this point what, if any, changes we will make.
