sc4125 Posted January 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I have seen several posts about San Juan - some say they got an extra sea day - some say they switched to Nassau. We are leaving on the 12th (2 weeks) for the Eastern Cruise on Mardi Gras. I tried to search this topic specifically for MG recent cruisers, but couldn't find anything. Does having the extra sea day depend on which area you are cruising? Anyone on recent MG Eastern who may be able to give me a heads up?

Rare 1025cruise Posted January 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Depends on port availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyJacks17 Posted January 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I was on the 1/15 Eastern Sailing and our day in San Juan was switched to Nassau. However, the actual day we were supposed to be in San Juan (Tuesday, 1/18) ended up being a Sea Day. So our itinerary went Sea Day, Nassau, Sea Day, Amber Cove, Grand Turk, Sea Day.

Knights on the Beach Posted January 31, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If I'm reading this correctly, it looks like Puerto Rico's 48 hour testing requirement for vaccinated passengers will be going away February 2nd. https://www.discoverpuertorico.com/info/travel-guidelines 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Mardi Gras at the end of August and had a great time. So much to do and places to eat that we weren't able to get to everything we wanted - so hopefully this will do it.

Pyrate13 Posted January 31, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I see the MG is in Nassau today which would be the second day of the current cruise so I'm thinking a similar trip to what BabyJacks had. We are on her 2/26 and I'm thinking we will see the same itinerary. We much prefer SJ to Nassau but that's the way it goes. We're still cruising, so happy campers.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrate13 Posted January 31, 2022 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Just to clarify, I meant to say second sea day. Looks like yesterday she just tooled around off the coast. At least that's how it appeared on Marinetraffic.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J41DP Posted February 1, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I wouldn't be mad about it. San Juan was nothing special and I personally won't go back. A run down "city" with cops everywhere and people trying to shove nic nacs down your throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Juan and St Kitts keep getting dropped so I was going to be really sad if we ended up with two more sea days or Nassau. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMarc Posted February 1, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Don't get too excited yet. The cruise article heading is misleading. The article says : "The move is not final yet; the department of health will discuss the new protocols with the relevant cruise lines and other involved parties and give a date when the new rules will be implemented. " Also, the requirements are based on an order from the Department of Health and I don't think the travel page was ever updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMarc Posted February 1, 2022 #14 Share Posted February 1, 2022 But I find other sources that say the requirement will be dropped tomorrow, so now I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
