cruisekitty22 Posted September 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Does anyone know if the docks at San Juan ports are still there and in tack? We are suppose to sail from San Juan but if there are no docks there how can we do that? Our cruise is October 1, 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted September 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I do know that FEMA is clearing the port and airport so that help can arrive. The airports are closed and I believe will continue to be closed to everybody but perhaps emergency services. The entire island is 100% OUT of communication, it will take months for them to even get electricity and communications working as towers are all down and destroyed.

Cruisenator Posted September 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The airport sustained damages to the interior of the terminal from videos posted on Twitter yesterday. Looked like glass panes and roof leaks everywhere. Possibly broken pipes too in the ceiling with the water that was pouring in unless it was just the rain water. It amazes me that RCCL has not cancelled Saturday's trip out of that port. People should be arriving today through Saturday, but they are playing games again with the booked cruises. We are scheduled for next Saturday (30-Sept) for ours on RCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted September 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2017 They need to first figure out how to disembark the passengers currently on her...many of the passengers are residents of Puerto Rico also, so lots for the cruise line to figure out.

It isn’t their responsibility if you can get to port; however, unless you purchased airfare through the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragilek Posted September 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2017 not only do they need to get to port but they need supplies to be loaded back on as well as the passengers in order to use that as their home port. Logistically even if they can dock I doubt very much that can happen in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtytwo Posted September 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2017 If I were trying to figure out the situation in Puerto Rico, I think I would rely on Carnival’s official notifications. You might want to check their website and their FB pages for information. Based on reports from PR, it is highly doubtful any cruise will embark or debark there for quite a while.

Hi, how are you getting your info? I agree with you. It's just I have someone that was coming to visit from PR, ( purchased 3 months ago) next Tuesday, however airlines are right now only willing to change the dates for a week out. I need to keep on top of it since there is minimal communication on the island. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to whether Carnival cancels or finds a temporary homeport, that's another question and hard to answer. I wouldn't be surprised if they contract out Fascination as housing for the recovery effort for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should Hurricane Maria thread, people actually think they can fly out and in San Juan airport for Saturday's AOS arrival and departure.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk San Juan will be closed to cruises for at least a month and I bet that's pretty conservative. As I noted, I wouldn't be surprised if both ships (Fascination and AoS) are contracted out as housing for the recovery effort. They can't set up a temporary homeport and reschedule so many people from so many cruises on such short notice. It's an interesting problem, what to do with current cruisers. The people who live on PR will want to go home to check on their loved ones and homes, but the last thing PR needs is another 10,000 people to take care of in the aftermath, who are currently safe and secure. I wonder if they will be debarked and sheltered in Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they learned from HARVEY Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There's open and there's open, if you know what I mean. The airport may open tomorrow evening, but I doubt they'll be allowing tourists onto the island. It will be open for people who live there and for people in the rescue and recovery effort. PR has no excess food or water and no electricity. The tourist industry there will be at a standstill until the basics are restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
