Oasis Time Change for San Juan

[js]

My TA sent me this information yesterday. We sail on Oasis August 2018. I was planning on spending the day on the ship but thinking now everyone will have that idea, especially with a 2 pm departure time. Oh well. Thank you for letting us know.

I have not yet received an email regarding the change.

I received the info from my TA Monday. ugh. Of course, our 2 EOS stops in San Juan were 7am to 1pm. Now THAT one stinks! lol

 

San Juan is one of our favorite ports so I am a little bummed, but one hour is not the difference between doing what we want or not.

 

Could you tell me what you like to do? We have done both forts twice, walked and shopped. We were thinking of just staying on the ship this time.....but......

Yes, they did this with Allure too, starting with my May 28th cruise. Bummer. :(

This affects our July Allure cruise as well. We have an excursion (booked through the cruise planner) that runs from 12:00 - 2:00 p.m. Does anyone know if Royal will just cancel this excursion? Do they ever change the excursion time? Thank you!

nassau and sana juan are ports that I try to avoid at all cost.

My mother got an email, but I did not, for the same sailing. Bummed as we chose this cruise because San Juan is the only port we have not been to, it was already a short day and now worse, would know it, Murphy's law! :( I have been disappointed with some other aspects of this cruise booking and RCCL, I hope this is not all a bad omen! At least I still have time to cancel if needed. Dang it all!

I just got back from an Oasis OTS Eastern Caribbean Sailing. We were told a time of 2:30 for disembarking San Juan which was a little sad because San Juan was probably our favorite stop.

 

From what I could tell, it is because they are really constricted with getting to Labadee on time (assuming it is the same itinerary with Labadee the following day). Between other ports, the ship sailed at 18ish knots but between San Juan and Labadee, the ship was sailing at 22+ knots.

That will affect our April 22nd sailing, it was a short day departing at 3 Pm, now an hour earlier. It will be our first time in SJ. Now it is 7 AM to 2 PM

If that's their reasoning I find it ridiculous. They have 7 days to get you to 3 ports and they jam 2 of them back to back.

 

Just make it a 2 port cruise. They can go much slower and save fuel and have shops and casino open longer.
