YellowDog Posted October 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I apologize if everyone knows this already, but it seems that in addition to Antigua being added to replace St. Maartin, San Juan is now being replaced by St. Thomas on Eastern Caribbean cruises. At least that is what is showing currently on mine (3/17/18) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted October 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Someone else had posted that according to whomever they spoke to at MSC that this change was coming. Just checked and we too are now scheduled for St Thomas instead of San Juan. We are on the January 20, 2018 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunkissed Mommy Posted October 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. I am on that sailing along with 11 other staterooms! I will spread the word to all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marti2282 Posted October 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2017 We sail on Jan 6, 2018 and rather than the eastern trip that was scheduled, we are now going west.

Change happened today — checked online and there it was! Sent from my iPad using Forums This was posted to their website today. Unfortunately only your sailing got switched! Sorry about that. It probably has to do with availability at the ports (to accommodate all the cruise lines). MSC Seaside For the MSC Seaside cruise departing from Miami on January 6, the Eastern Caribbean itinerary will be replaced with a Western Caribbean itinerary calling at Nassau (Bahamas), Ocho Rios (Jamaica), Georgetown (Cayman islands) and Costa Maya (Mexico). Please contact our Reservations Center at 1-877-665-4655 for any concerns you may have. For the following 7-night Eastern Caribbean MSC Seaside sailings departing from Miami, St. John’s (Antigua and Barbuda) will be replacing Philipsburg (St. Maarten) and Charlotte Amalie (St. Thomas) will be replacing San Juan (Puerto Rico). In addition, all the below itineraries will visit Nassau, with the exception of the February 17 sailing, which will call at Freeport. (Please note that the website itineraries will be updated momentarily.) : • Departing December 23, 2017 • Departing January 20, 2018 • Departing February 3, 2018 • Departing February 17, 2018 • Departing March 3, 2018 • Departing March 17, 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovelights Posted October 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2017 This is so strange. So, now the eastern itinerary changed to a western, and the western itinerary that was suppose to be on the ship the week behind the Jan. 6th sailing, is going to be eastern? Why didn't they just keep the Eastern on Eastern and the Western on Western. We were just told that we were going to Antigua to replace St. Maarten, and St. Thomas to replace San Juan, and now they did a complete switch-a-roo?

Proseccoandsun Posted October 18, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The only change is to the 1-6 sailing. The 12-23 is eastern (as scheduled), 12-30 is western (as scheduled), 1-6 changed to western, 1-13 remains western (as scheduled). This is so strange.

lovelights Posted October 18, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Where did you see that the 1/13-20 itinerary has changed from western to eastern? I have seen port stops as 1/15 Jamaica, 1/16 Caymans 1/17 Cozumel 1/19 Nassau. Ok, I went back and re-read, and you're right. I misunderstood. So, I guess that means that those that decided to go on a 14 day cruise, is going to the same ports twice? Like two 7 day Westerns? I'm actually glad that we transferred over to the Western, because I was not looking forward to going to St. Thomas with the condition that it's in. I've seen videos of that place and I did not want to take a tour up to Mountain Top to see the devastation there. It's so sad. We seen it when it was beautiful, and wasn't looking forward to seeing it all torn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
