bruzin_for_a_cruizin Posted October 1, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Looks like X is finally admitting they won't be stopping in Caymans until Jan/Feb. I just got an email for the upcoming APEX Nov 13th sailing and our Grand Cayman stop has been changed to a Sea Day. Not a terrible thing to have another relaxing day at sea, but I was hoping to do some diving in GC. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to book another cruise!

bikerunner Posted October 1, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I figured something like that would be on mine, Constellation Nov 22, Cayman stop, Im hoping they add overnite in Aruba tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasentreelake Posted October 1, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Our Nov 22 Silhouette sailing now has Nassau to replace Grand Cayman.... Was also hoping for the overnighter in Aruba 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing its a cruise by cruise thing that they have to look at and see if they can get another port in or Sea Day. Just going with the flo when it finally gets updated on the Connie at the point. Not much else I can do. Still waiting to finish check in for my Nov 22 cruise. Not to worried on either point tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo1953 Posted October 1, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Damn, just damn as per the Cayman Islands 'Official' web site for tourism, it is made clear that cruise travel is not permitted, for now. So, this means one of two things one has to wait (patiently) to figure out what the plan is or just not worry about it and chill, because you know that CI is not accepting cruises, currently. bon voyage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted October 1, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I cancelled my Nov 22 Connie cruise.. because of Grand Cayman...and for a time it looked like there would be issues with some of the ABCs as well... I cancelled in August.. I assumed they would say something sooner...but it is still showing up on the itinerary for Nov 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micheleg Posted October 1, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 1, 2021 We got Roatan instead for our November Edge cruise. Yuk. No thanks....another wonderful ship day for us! 😃 Really was hoping that Celebrity would wake up and let us take advantage of a Perfect Day at Coco Cay as well, but no such luck. The beach club there is right up a Celebrity passenger's alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damphu Posted October 1, 2021 #10 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I'm patiently waiting for my email in regard to our Nov 11 cruise on Millennium. I am hoping for another port since this Grand Cayman was our only stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word always was that Celebrity stopped visiting Labadee because passengers weren't interested in a private island beach day. I don't see your average X customer waiting in line to ride the tethered hot air ballon or ride water slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted October 1, 2021 #12 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It was taken off our January 2022 edge itinerary the other day also…added Roatan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturngrl Posted October 1, 2021 #13 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Waiting for an update on Reflection November 20th. Port of Key West still doesn't have any RC or Celebrity cruises booked and I think that might be why Celebrity is waiting to notify us of the itinerary change.

m8zenblue Posted October 1, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Lol, we know there will be no Grand Cayman Island. Has anyone gotten an "OFFICIAL" notice yet, still on the itinerary, who knows what they will replace it with. As long as we are cruising is fine with me. But, it's fun speculating ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS2BS Posted October 1, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Yesterday(9/30/21), Celebrity made it official that the Silhouette(12/13/21) would not go to the Caymans, but to Nassau. Hal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see your average X customer waiting in line to ride the tethered hot air ballon or ride water slides. I think you're wrong, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The Beach Club portion at Coco Cay is essentially private with a full scale private restaurant included. You have to pay extra to go there, and the cabanas at the beach club are very pricey. Word has it that they're also planning to expand to another area for an Adults Only area. I think Celebrity stopped Labadee because they couldn't keep it up to the standards of what a Celebrity passenger wanted, besides all of the political issues with Haiti, even worse now with no president, earthquakes, hurricanes, and probably the most vaccine hesitancy in the world, even Royal won't be going there anymore. I don't know what videos you've watched, but Coco Cay is beautiful, and since Celebrity is now aiming at a younger more professional demographic with or without children. I'm sure you've seen their new ads, hardly one strand of grey hair anywhere. I'm in my mid 60's and you can bet your sweet life I'd be the first in line to pay for my spot at the beach club at Coco Cay or any private island if they started calling at one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO that's sort of thing is far more appropriate for Royal Carribean, Norwegian or Carnival 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first port is Key West, which voted to ban cruise ships, now GC is the second port off limits. Hope they’ll replace one with Nassau, but either way we’re happy with extra sea days, more time to explore and experience the Apex! 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoncom Posted October 3, 2021 #24 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Celebrity always waits until last minute to do changes so less cruisers will cancel. I have had the new itins handed to me upon boarding. Bahamas all about the same; have not been there in years .Also just happy to get on the boat. getting almost too late for X to cancel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elaineb Posted October 3, 2021 #25 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Supposedly sailing on Nov 6th on the Reflection. Have not been able to check in and our ports - KW & GC not changed yet. This is driving me, a type A planner insane. I should think this week we should find out something! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
