k9_Cop Posted April 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2015 We are in Puerto Rico getting ready to get on the Liberty tomorrow, and received an email from Carnival saying that due to a bow thruster bring down and working being done at the port area Saint Kitts will be skipped. Luckily we won't be hitting up Dominica, we are going to Antigua. Pretty sure we lucked out on that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justme_85 Posted April 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I sail on May 10th and am waiting on my email. I sure hope we get to go to Antigua over Dominica! I've been to Dominica and just did not like it. I hope I get my email soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalifCruiser1 Posted April 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2015 There was a guy who posted yesterday while on the ship- they went to Dominca for sure. I sail next Sunday and sure hope the thrusters are fixed BUT I doubt it. I forget what ship it was awhile back but they went all season with the thrusters not working. Please let us know where you really end up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunagirl Posted April 19, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I am on the May 3 sailing and haven't gotten word yet from Carnival about our itinerary. I did ask John Heald and he said that we would port somewhere and it would not be an extra sea day, so at least we know something. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme_85 Posted April 19, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I am on the May 3 sailing and haven't gotten word yet from Carnival about our itinerary. I did ask John Heald and he said that we would port somewhere and it would not be an extra sea day, so at least we know something. :D There is so much wrong information going around. PVPs are saying Antigua... Some are saying Dominica and then the Carnival page says just this week is going to Antigua and we will resume the regular itinerary. I wish they would keep us in the loop with what is going on. I hate that I have had my cruise planned for months and am 3 weeks away from my vacation and now don't know if it's St Kitts, Dominica or Antigua! I have been doing research on St Kitts for months. I am so lost! I hope we get an email this week with the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingwithAutism Posted April 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Is it just the Liberty? We are sailing to St. Kitts on the Sunshine in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme_85 Posted April 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yes, it's only the liberty because the liberty's thrusters that help it dock safely in windy conditions are not working. You won't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KangFu Posted April 20, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 20, 2015 May 10'th cruiser here.. I also hope we don't go to Dominica. The day before we are at St. Lucia which is basically a Lush island of waterfalls, volcanoes and pretty much the exact same activities you will see in Dominica making it redundant in a 24 hour span. The beaches in Dominica are probably the worst out of all the ports Liberty would be stopping at. Antigua with 5 star beaches would be a major upgrade in comparison. Going to the beach in Antigua on the last minute is far easier than trying to book activities in Dominica without confirmation you will actually be there.

k9_Cop Posted April 20, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well when we were about to get on the ship yesterday everyone was given a letter stating that we are going to Antigua and it was also confirmed by our CD. Ill be sure to let everyone know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wubbie3me Posted April 21, 2015 #18 Share Posted April 21, 2015 justme_85, I'm on the 5/10 sailing too! I'm good with either island as I've never been to either island :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyislandwilldo Posted April 21, 2015 #19 Share Posted April 21, 2015 You will need to book another cruise in order to get to St. Kitts!!! Love, Dominica and Antigua!! Did a tour with Levi on Dominica. Best tour guide in the Caribbean, hands down!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nator555 Posted April 22, 2015 #20 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I cruise on the Liberty on May 3rd. I just called Carnival 10 minutes ago and asked where are we going? The CS lady I spoke to said we are going to St Kitts. She did confirm the thruster issue. She also said Carnival can change the port at any time. If that is the case they send out emails and call cruise passengers. I have been to St Kitts and loved the Brimstone Fortress BUT the beaches in Antigua look AMAZING! My vote is for Antigua.

CalifCruiser1 Posted April 22, 2015 #21 Share Posted April 22, 2015 We sail April 26th and haven't heard a word- either travel agent or Carnival email haven't been to either island so really don't care:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie99 Posted April 23, 2015 #22 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I read that starting May 1st, St Kitts will have tug abilities and Carnival will be going to that port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisintwinsmom Posted April 23, 2015 #23 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I read that starting May 1st, St Kitts will have tug abilities and Carnival will be going to that port. St. Kitts must have decided it was worth getting the tugs to keep from losing the tourist. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted April 23, 2015 #24 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I read that starting May 1st, St Kitts will have tug abilities and Carnival will be going to that port. We are May 3rd sailing. Where did you read this ? Would like to print and show others we are going with.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme_85 Posted April 23, 2015 #25 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I am so skeptical on this right now. Today on my roll call, people received literally 7 different answers from carnival from emails to over the phone to social media. One rep even told a girl she had no idea where we were getting information on missing St Kitts at all. I am waiting to see what happens next Friday!
