AspiringCindy Posted July 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I have an excursion for Blue Lagoon that day. Do they ever change the time back to it's original, or are we truly arriving at 12? Also, can I get a refund because now it's not worth it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once changed it is extremely rare that it ever changes back. If you booked prior to March 31, 2022 then you can cancel under CWC and get an FCC but not a refund. If you booked after March 31 then regular cancellation penalties apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted July 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2022 If you want to cancel your excursion to blue lagoon, yes you simply cancel order on your cruise planner and will be refunded to your credit card. Docking at 12 and probably off by 1230 or 1 to board ferry to blue lagoon which is another 30 to 45 minutes ride would give you about 2 maybe 3 hrs on blue lagoon. I think the last ferry leaves between 4 or 5 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are asking about a refund for the BL excursion, not the cruise. @AspiringCindy: If you booked the excursion via Royal, you can cancel for a refund via the cruise planner. If you booked private, you will need to read the cancellation terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringCindy Posted July 19, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I have booked through the cruise planner. How would I verify this change? Even though I received an Email, the RCCL site still says 8:00AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does, I would expect RCCL would cancel your excursion. I believe your can cancel excursions up to 48 hours prior to sailing(?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they update the time on their app yet? You can wait and see and if your email is correct you can cancel on cruise planner but do it no later than Wednesday or Thursday the week before your sailing Or you can wait until onboard then you will probably receive as OBC as long as you cancel 24 hrs before arrival in Nassau. Did the email give you a reason why changing time? I'm on the 8.28 sailing and hope they don't change our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to your sailing and scroll to whichever day you are scheduled to be in Nassau and see if shows time of arrival. But as said that may not be updated yet.

BND Posted July 19, 2022 #16 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Nassau is in a constant state of flux with all the construction going on. They're probably trying to avoid cancelling completely as they are probably rotating two ships in that day for one space. Problem with construction like that is schedules change due to other issues-weather delays, supplies, etc. We were there in April and there were only 3 ships in. They were doing construction on the piers that weren't occupied. Not building them, but doing finish type work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringCindy Posted July 19, 2022 Author #17 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I went ahead and cancelled! Honestly, it doesn't really matter if Royal is docking late or the excursion changed its time. Bottom line!...I'm not paying close to $200 for 2 hours of beachtime! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you will make to Blue Lagoon another time. You could always walk to Junkanoo Beach (10 to 15 min from pier) and rent a lounge chair for $10. Or you could take the ferry over to Paradise Island and wander around and go to the beach there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I'll do. I'm cruising on Oasis again early next summer, however they are not arriving to Nassau until 1:00 according to the itinerary. I've cruised to nassau atleast 10 times...and I can't seem to make it to Blue Lagoon! I guess its just not in the cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AspiringCindy Posted July 20, 2022 Author #22 Share Posted July 20, 2022 If you go on the cruise planner and choose Blue Lagoon Beach break, it gives the option of 10:30 or 12. I think they are staggering the times. It seems to me that they randomly chose people to move to the 12:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnceAMarineAlwaysAMarine Posted July 20, 2022 #23 Share Posted July 20, 2022 When I originally booked this excursion it was scheduled for 8:15 a.m. Since it is no longer listed as available at 8:15 it looks like the 8:15 group has been moved to 12:00 for some reason. Perhaps the docking time is no longer 8:00 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
