Anyone know if RC will let you cancel (or just rebook for a later date) due to the itinerary change or am I just out of luck? :( I've been to the Western ports a million times...was really looking forward to the Eastern ones that I've never been to!

 

 

We just changed, wasn't a problem.

Years ago, leaving from Canaveral on the Mariner....there was a Hurricane headed towards the Florida east coast....ALL three ships in port that day left 2 hours early....I imagine as soon as all were aboard....the muster drill was held at the same time, but we were well underway by then.

Because the storm was due east, we headed due south hugging the Florida coast all the way down to within sight of Cuba, then headed east under the storm.

Our entire itinerary was put in reverse order, having one stop cancelled all together....

Seas were very rough to say the least.

We were not notified of any itinerar4y changes until check-in, where they gave everyone handouts...

I will say, it was the best cruise I have ever been on....every day was an adventure not knowing what is going to change.

Many people were sick and never left their cabins.....it became a party atmosphere with the survivors, crew and passengers alike....many bars offering free drinks, etc....
