Fluffy Tiger Posted February 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I have read on another site that some recent cruises (the last week) that go to Mare are skipping that port and finding alternative ports. Does anybody have any solid information on if this is happening and exactly why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter.kath@hotmail.com Posted February 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I read that too this morning, it said it was because of the water pollution on Yeyele Beach, It was ton the Royal Caribbean site.

Lifesaver1984 Posted February 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That's not good at all, wasn't Mare added (and Port Kembla) due to the tendering issues at one of the other islands. I know Mare was substituted in for Lifou for Explorer. I'm heading out Feb 14th on that one. At this stage, Mare is still listed in the cruise details as being a stop. Hope we get there, would be nice to see. Failing that I'm more than happy to head to Isle of Pines too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrYellowDuck Posted February 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Explorer's last cruise went to Mystery Island instead; the issue with Mare was water pollution as others said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Chilli Posted February 3, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2017 So if your cruise is already going to Mystery Island and Isle of Pines (along with Mare which replaced Lifou), where do you think they would go as an alternative? Champagne Bay maybe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhaussie Posted February 7, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My daughter just returned today into Sydney (oops all that rain delayed fights to Melbourne badly). She was on Carnival Spirit with scheduled stop at Mare. This was cancelled due to algae. They substituted with Mystery Island last week.

Rhaussie Posted February 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Finding Mystery Island was fun. Captain Tasos on Celebrity Solstice - the star entertainer and funniest Captain ever, announced Mystery Island was such a mystery he didn't know where it was. Not to worry he says "I'll google it in the morning!" Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
