Was in my account looking to see if excursions had been added for my September cruise yet and happened to notice my itinerary for October has changed now too.

 

Knew it was coming, but jeeze it would be nice if we got an email to let us know what's up before we just stumbled on it

Horizon on 10/10/21 was changed from Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel last night. It I s now Amber Cove, Half Moon Cay, and Bimini.  

That's the one we are on too, saw it was changed this morning so I knew it happened last night sometime.  Like I said, expected it cause same thing for our Sept Horizon sailing but would have been nice to get an email and not just stumble across the change.

I feel exactly the same.
 

We have (had) reservations at Nachi Cocum, which were already changed from an earlier itinerary on a different ship.  We may or may not be on Brilliance of the Seas in late September ( awaiting Royal’s announcement), but I am almost afraid to make yet another reservation that would need to get changed or canceled.  I am happy that changes are not a big deal to either of us and we have realistic expectations, but sooner or later this is going to get old.

Our 10/17 Pride cruise is still showing Grand Turk on 10/20 but I doubt that is happening.  Just fingers crossed it doesn't switch to Nassau but that is what we are anticipating.

 

I'm on the 10/10 Pride - I'd take Bimini if that do have to switch.

LOL, exactly!  To top if all off, we have 3 rooms booked (hubby and I, bro and sister in law, mom and dad).  We all booked an excursion together in Jamaica.  I just told them all the ports changed, and that a refund should be coming down the road for our Jamaica excursion and then we all decided what new one we wanted on the changed itinerary.  It is now my job to watch for them to come up and get it booked.  HOWEVER, I noticed the Jamaica excursion was NOT cancelled and still showed in our booking so I just cancelled that so the refund process will start.  Wondering how long that might have sat there if I hadn't seen it..... could have been all the way up until the time we cruised in October and we would have been sitting here waiting for the refund.  I would have assumed if the port was cancelled the excursion would have been automatically too.

 

Go figure.

 

Word to the wise if your ports change... make sure you cancel any 'dead' excursion yourself.

I thought the same thing.  Didn't want Nassau yet again... been there a 100 times.  But now that we have Bimini it really kind of sucks.  There is literally 2 excursions for August.  Both are beach.

 

Beach chairs and an umbrella, or Beach "cabana"  However their idea of a Cabana is just some wood slat walls on 3 sides in the sand and 2 lounge chairs - and it costs as much as a NICE cabana in HMC or Amber Cove.... Bimini will be a stay on the ship day for us.

 

From what I've been reading from others that have been there, nothing there to do at all either on your own.

Was hoping to see Grand Turk opening up to cruise ships.   Turks Caicos has opened the airports and some inter-island travel, but visitors are still required to get test 3 days prior to arrival.  That's for island based stays.  Appears cruise center on GT is still closed.

This is RCL notification on UC Virgin islands and St. Kitts.  So Southern itinerary will be affected.

 

This is the release on US Virgin Islands and St. Kitts.  There will be itinerary changes or no unvaxxed over 12.

Don’t be surprised if there are more changes coming. CDC updated travel destination advisories today. The following are all level 4 and advised against visiting whether vaccinated or not. Level 4 is the highest level. Curaçao, Saint Martin, US Virgin Islands and Martinique.

9/19 pride still showing Grand Turk/HMC and Freeport

 

I'd rather Nassau as other have said Bimini has nothing to do. I did see a mention of a small casino somewhere though

Changed today? 

9/19 Pride now HMC / Bimini / Freeport
