Port Changed and No Shore Excursions Poluplated

[Christiem01]

We are booked on the Summit on 4/11.  Our first port was changed from Key West to Nassau.  I keep checking the cruise planner to book a celebrity excursion so we can get of the ship (if it comes to that) BUT nothing as been loaded for that day.  Does this typically happen? Will l have to wait until we are on the ship to book? Or just keep checking the website randomly?

Its four months from now, right?  They are busy working on cruises for Jan, Feb, Mar.

This happened on our 3/12 Reflection cruise as well and it took about a month before anything was added for the new port (Bimini). With all of the changes between what ports and countries will allow cruise ships and I am sure tour operators are dealing with, it could take some time. Just keep checking the website.

Thanks for your replies.  I am super type A and like to get everything done as soon as I can.

Did you see any interesting excursions for Bimini? History related? All-inclusive beach? A great house or botanical garden? Hiking?

 

We are still waiting to see Bimini excursions for our Equinox cruise in a few weeks on January 21st. The port changed from Grand Cayman to Jamaica and is now Bimini as of early December.

Me, too, but it's definitely not a very useful trait in the current state of the cruise industry!  We were on a 'restart' cruise where most all of the usual info was posted late.

When I do a land vacation, which is way more frequent than we cruise, I am the same way.  EVERYTHING needs to be lined up.  But whenever we cruise, we are just cest la vie, has always worked out for us, though we've not cruised in 2 years.

For now it's only a beach day. I hope they are able to add more as we get closer to our sail date.

You definitely need to be both patient and flexible to cruise or travel today.

Not to mention staying well and having your glass half full at all times.  It may even help to be a bit crazy!
