Change to Western Itinerary

[orville99]

Just received notification from. RCL that our October 10 Allure cruise will not be doing port stops at either Labadee or Falmouth, but will be substituting Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Nassau instead. Coco Cay stop is still on the itinerary.

No great lost there.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Itinerary Changes. 
Our Symphony Southern Caribbean Cruise has changed to Nassau and Eastern Caribbean. Then Changed St Kitts to San Juan and we are expecting another change very soon due to the hurricane patterns. 
We depart in 10 days and the only thing I really know is what ship we are sailing on

Us as well. Don’t mind the beach day at Labadee, but don’t even bother getting off the ship in Falmouth.

We get on the day you get off.  If Costa Maya and Coz were the regular Western stops we probably would have picked that one.  I wonder if all Sept and Oct Westerns are changing he port stops?

Interesting news. We are on the next Western on Allure October 24th, but haven’t heard anything about our itinerary, although I am expected a change. We were not planning to get off the ship in Nassau or Falmouth and will probably not get off in Costa Maya if we change to the same ports. Kind of disappointed about Labadee though, one reason I booked this was cause it went to both private ports, Labadee and Coco Cay.

You don't know you are sailing until ship pulls away from the pier until then everything is still subject to change.

Did not get an e-mail (yet), so I check our cruise planner and the calendar shows the change, ie. Cozumel and Costa Maya instead of Labadee and Falmouth.  The home page in my "Upcoming Cruises" still shows the original itinerary.

Actually, we will still be on board. We have a B2B from the 10th to the 24th.

I just checked the cruise planner too and for Oct 24th now shows Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Coco Cay. It doesn’t show Nassau. Oh well, no difference to us.

Apparently Royal UP is alive and well. We just received an email to submit bids for several different Suite categories on the 10/10 cruise.

Yup and most people are saying they are getting the upgrades with minimum bids.    I guess all depends on your ship and how booked up it is.

My Bad... We are scheduled to sail on Symphony in 10 days. It could be a different ship, it could be different ports, it could cruise to no where but dock in a foreign port overnight or we could just end up driving to NJ/PA to visit family because the cruise gets that ugly C word, and I am not talking about the 4 letter word lol 
Better?  LMAO

Our Sept 26th Cruise just changed as well!  We are not disappointed!  😉

We spend the day at Falmouth hanging out in the pool at Jimmy Buffets. always a really fun time. The bartenders and music is great. Stool through the crafts area and truly enjoy the day. 

[BecciBoo]

The only reason we booked our Allure Sept 12 was it had both RCI properties on it...HAHA.  Oh well, I'd rather lose Labadee than CoCo Cay and Jamaica is a wash.

And get your free drink if you wear your Margaritaville shirt.

All the ports are basically the same..

[Midwestgal]

Labadee is one of the last places I’d want to be right now so the change is good

[RFerrington]

We are also on 10-10 AL.  I am very happy about this change but I have not gotten an email regarding the itin change yet.  When I go into my booking though, it does show the new itin.

Labadee may well be Haiti, but it surely is not "Haiti"

Last time I was there the staff referred to it as "Fake Haiti"
