Jmillsarch Posted March 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Did RCL drop Bonaire from the Freedom summer 2018 itineraries? Their deployment flyer shows Bonaire, and their website had it yesterday afternoon. I just checked the website and Bonaire is now replaced with St. Thomas. I haven't heard great thinks about Bonaire, but I've never been there and was hoping to try it next summer. Anyone have any insight?

Clarea Posted March 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Interesting, I don't see Bonaire on Royal's website in June, July, or August 2018. However I do see it in January and February 2019. Bonaire still shows up on CruiseCal on a few Freedom cruises in summer 2018. Maybe they are slow to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllaDuChien Posted March 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2017 When I was on the phone with them yesterday, and planing on booking one of the ABC Islands cruises, the rep told me that Bonaire had been switched out of all the summer cruises. He did not know why nor did he know if the winter cruises would eventually be changed also. It made a difference for me because I really do not like St. Thomas.

Clarea Posted March 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I wonder if there's a problem with the size of Freedom docking in Bonaire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJPhilly Posted March 31, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2017 ABC Route is now Aruba, Basseterre (St. Kitts), Curacao & St. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmillsarch Posted March 31, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks for the all the replies. This is disappointing. I was excited to see a Freedom Class ship head to the ABC Island, but not so much now. We have younger kids so the H2O water park is a big plus on sea days. I know these are port intensive itineraries, but its still nice to have for those one or two sea days. Thanks again, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted April 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2017 We booked Freedom January 19' and Bonaire is listed as a port on the invoice. I'd keep checking the website, something is going on with those itineraries, and you may find it has changed for your sailing too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoGurl Posted April 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I was bummed about that too. But am happy to have St Thomas for a change instead of St Maarten, which I'm sick of. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
