PurdueChefAmber Posted October 19, 2015 #27 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I am 0 out of 3, about to be 0 out of 4. They already cancelled our January call. I am supposed to go in April, so, fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_Miami_Cruiser Posted October 19, 2015 #31 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'm 1 out of 2, both were November Thanksgiving cruises. The one time I did make it, it was rainy and a bit chilly (due to rain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undercat Posted May 21, 2016 #32 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Looking at the 7-day Eastern on the Pride out of Baltimore, with calls in GT, HMC and Freeport. If the ship is unable to tender at HMC, does the day become another sea day or will you end up with two days in Freeport or a Nassau day if space permits? If we can't make it to HMC, I wouldn't mind an extra sea day [emoji3] Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poobears Posted May 21, 2016 #33 Share Posted May 21, 2016 We're 1 for 1 on HMC hopefully everyone gets to go at least once that wants to. I would book a cruise just for that port so would probably cry a little on the inside if it was cancelled. Yes I would get over it and enjoy the cruise but would definitely miss it. Then I'd have to book another one and try again lol Think it was June when we went, the weather was perfect but we hit a storm the next evening which happened to be a sea day anyways. Think it's just random luck if you can tender in or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually would take two sea days and lets skip Freeport. Now an extra day at GT would be fine.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakersdozen12 Posted May 22, 2016 #38 Share Posted May 22, 2016 We missed BOTH Grand Turk and HMC on our August Pride cruise. That really does suck. The 7/2 cruise I'm going on this year goes to Nassau, HMC and Grand Turk. I specifically picked this itinerary because I figured that if we miss HMC, at least we still have Grand Turk. I would hate to miss both! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearwaters Posted May 22, 2016 #40 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Best of luck a cruise with Nassau as the highlight would leave a lot to be desired Always Nassau & Freeport as default stops. Are they cheap? Do those cities have a special deal with the cruise lines because most people seem to hate those ports? Why no really nice alternative since HMC is missed so frequently? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homosassa Posted May 22, 2016 #42 Share Posted May 22, 2016 They should really invest some dollars and build a pier at HMC to limit the number of times it is missed. Dredging a channel and building a pier does damage to the rest of the beach area by changing the water currents and causing waves that changes the shore line. Half Moon Cay has lovely sandy beaches and calm water. For anyone who cruises Princess and has been to Princess Cay; Princess Cay is an excellent example of the destruction of a beautiful beach due to dredging a channel, building a pier, and creating a cove for the pier and docking tenders. On our first visit to what would become Princess Cay (on a different cruise line who went bankrupt and whose assets were bought by P&O), the beaches were wide sandy expanses with the white sand very gently sloping down into the sandy bottom shallow water. We had to go over the side of the tenders and wade ashore. Princess Cay no longer has the beautiful sandy beaches that gently slope into the water. Instead there are sea walls and exposed coral rock in the water. Jetties that were built to control the damage caused by the channel and pier also add to the beach erosion by changing the water flow. Of course, Carnival Corporation is doing it's best to destroy the beautiful island and beach atmosphere of Half Moon Cay by building cabanas and adding bars with blaring music, but that is another topic for a different thread.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
