We are booked on the June 16 cruise and haven't gotten a cancellation email yet. The ship will be out of service for at least a month for repairs. Cancellation emails are forthcoming.

Though due to the small size of the airport, guests may be stuck in Grand Turk for awhile. Curious if guests are allowed back on the ship as there aren't a ton of hotels right on Grand Turk. They are sending a replacement ship to transport the passengers. the ship will be taken to grand Bahamas for repairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know, "you just never know" what might happen during a cruise. The NCL Escape in Puerto Plata and now Freedom in Grand Turk. Always have your passport when you cruise. 🙂 I don't feel sorry for anyone who is an adult and travels outside the country without a passport or insurance and an issue arrises. They are the first ones to come crying about being inconvenienced or being treated improperly due to their own failure to plan appropriately. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense I used the “upgraded experience” phrase to describe the experience of moving onto a newer, larger ship for a short period of time, as a time to view the newer ship and possibly decide whether or not I would want to book that ship based on the short experience. I regret that phrase 🙄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeyVictoria Posted May 26, 2022 #158 Share Posted May 26, 2022 The Conquest was due to sail tomorrow on a three-night itinerary. So it looks like passengers on another ship will be canceled at the last minute and compensated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was ever on their radar or not (time/distance/etc). Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is all on Carnival, no insurance or passport really needed. The responsibility falls on Carnival. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhern05 Posted May 26, 2022 #161 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Was supposed to be on Conquest tomorrow. Disappointed is the understatement of the century. Now stuck with no plans for Memorial Day and whatever is left or available is $$$$. Just glad I'm a local so not a huge inconvenience, but imagine the people who are flying, driving, already in hotels for their cruise tomorrow. What a mess.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasdan Posted May 26, 2022 #162 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I have been on 18 cruises without a passport or travel insurance with no instances. I fail to see how a passport or travel insurance would help you when it is a Carnival ship problem. Carnival will get you home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted May 26, 2022 #165 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I would imagine they're just going to patch her to get her safe enough to get to a more appropriate repair facility then do the actual repairs there. I wonder if they can go summon a funnel off one of their recently decommissioned ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted May 26, 2022 #167 Share Posted May 26, 2022 The federal govt enables people to cruise without a passport in many cases. This seems to be fairly unique to the USA. Who knows if they'll ever get up to (developed world) speed! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srw1969 Posted May 26, 2022 #173 Share Posted May 26, 2022 We are supposed to be sailing on the Conquest Monday out of Miami. Will be interested if our cruise is changed since they are using that ship for the people in Grand Turk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
