Rare natefish95 Posted February 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Good Morning people of Cruise Critic, I'm sitting in Pier 88 in Manhattan having completed the COVID test and check-in. When we got here, they gave us a paper with the revised itinerary. I would have liked more advanced notice, but I'm going on a cruise and unlike some of y'all, I'm not going to pitch a fit. Pretty excited actually. New itinerary below: TL;DR-St Thomas and Grand Turk, out; San Juan and Antigua, in Original Puerto Plata: 1000-1700 St. Thomas: 1200-1900 St. Maarten: 700-1700 Tortola: 0600-1300 Grand Turk: 1200-1800 New (and improved?) San Juan: 1600-23:59 St. Maarten: 1100-2200 St. Johns, Antigua: 0700-1900 Tortola: 0600-1400 Puerto Plata: 1100-1800 I won't be checking back here often throughout the cruise, but plan to do a review afterwards. For some context, I arrived to the port shortly before 10:00 (10:00-10:30 check-in time) and finish everything about 10:30. I was a naysayer about testing at the port (and still prefer to test at home), but they have a really smooth operation here in NYC. I was really impressed. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted February 8, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I'd take Antigua and San Juan over St. Thomas and Grand Turk ANY day!!!! To me the new itinerary is a big improvement! Let's hope you are actually permitted to dock as planned under this new itinerary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Lynne Posted February 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2022 This shows how different we all are. I liked the original itinerary better. I prefer St. Thomas to Antigua. I have never been to Grand Turk so would like to check it out. I don't mind San Juan, but don't like the late time there. I enjoy evenings on the ship for dinner and a show. Though sometimes a surprise itinerary provides fun doing something you didn't expect. When something unplanned works out, it can feel more rewarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buford T Justiice Posted February 15, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Was Puerto Plata cancelled, or did they reshuffle the cruise ports again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puerto Plata was cancelled because they want to get us back to NY ahead of a storm that will hit the area Thursday night. The plan is to dock sometime late Thursday and then do normal turnaround Friday. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
