    After reading OP's post earlier today, I was thinking we might be getting the same email regarding Vista, 11/11/24, Athens to Miami...but didn't expect to get it today! Istanbul and Ephesus cancelled, replaced with 2 more stops in Greece (Gythion, Argostoli) and 2 in Croatia (Kotor, Dubrovnik). Not surprised and not unhappy, as we've not been to any of the added stops. Was looking forward to Ephesus, but spent 5 days in Istanbul some years ago. An overabundance of caution over a year out? Maybe, but relative to 'berthing' requirements and planning, and with all the changes happening for all cruise lines in that part of the world, not at all surprising. 

    Had port call in Gythion many years ago. Many opted for tour to Sparta but we stayed in this charming old sea side town and had a wonderful day. Bought fresh baklava and sat on part of the wall of a castle built before the Crusades eating baklava and imagining the harbor centuries ago. Watched octopus fisherman come in. We loved this day watching life go by as it has there for ages

  2. My son lives in Roatan part time and checked with his property manager. Bodden Tours has a booth at entrance from port area but most of his tours are prebooked. Victor Bodden wasn't involved in this unfortunate incident but there is another company who has a guide named Victor. We have booked with Bodden since 2010 and safety is of utmost importance. 

     

    I hope you continue to recover and I am so sorry this happened to you

    You really need to post the above in the Roll Call for your cruise. 

    Please post your ship and sailing date.  Also check to see if there is a roll call as this is the best way to find others who may want to share a tour. Lots to do in Halifax listed above. Great port call!

  4. My son has a home in Roatan. He goes to more out of the way places for snorkeling etc especially when cruise ships are in...all the tourist beaches and the the traffic are a nightmare if several ships are in. I guess if snorkeling is a must and no other ports you have are good for snorkeling it might ge worth an excursions to do that but for a family Mahogany Bay has all you need and you don't have to add travel time to enjoy it !
