Kaycee1 Posted June 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2005 :confused: Hi all, Does anyone know why they changed the order of the islands on the Eastern itinerary. They reversed the order of St. Maarten and St. Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blwms Posted June 15, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2005 By going to San Juan, then St Thomas and finally St Martin, there is no immigration clearing necessary since you do not visit a foreign port prior to a U.S, port. If you visit St Martin and then either San Juan or St Thomas (both U. S. ports) the first U.S. port would require everone on board to go through immigration. This is the current case with the Glory..It calls on Nassau first (a non-USA port) and then St Thomas. Everyone on board MUST clear immigration in St Thomas. It is no big deal but does cause some delays. I think you will like the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruznKel Posted June 15, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2005 If that is the case great move on Carnival's behalf!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chattyinthenati Posted June 15, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 15, 2005 kaycee, i got a letter from Carnival saying the same thing and i was thinking it may have been (since I saw a calendar on some site) that there were just going to be too many ships going to the same islands on the same days. there were going to originally be 5 ships in st. thomas the same day that we were going to be there. by the way i am on the same 8/7/05 victory cruise with you.

Kaycee1 Posted June 15, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hi, Thank you for the info. I found out because my travel agent called me. She wanted to let me know if I booked any tours not to worry Carnival would make all the changes. I hadn't though. Chatty hope to see you on the ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted June 15, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Is this what caused the Victory to be sent back to sea by the coast guard?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted June 15, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Is this what caused the Victory to be sent back to sea by the coast guard?:confused: and two of its ships were turned away from St. Thomas and San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Tuesday due to a computer glitch from http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/news/local/11894537.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samscruiser Posted June 15, 2005 #10 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Info I received from T/A, then Carnival, is that any shore excursions on your cruise will be cancelled. You would then have to rebook. Confirmed w/ our page on Carnival.com. Even the excursions booked for San Juan were cancelled, even though there is no change in that day. I like the change due to not having to go through immigration in St. Thomas, but you will have to rebook any excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
