TominNC Posted February 4 #1 Share Posted February 4 Have Carnivals ships been able to make stops at their islands recently that require tenders? I've heard that a number of cruises have not been able to make the stop due to rough seas. If they don't stop what do they typically do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyglow Posted February 4 #2 Share Posted February 4 (edited) It is actually relatively unusual to miss a stop for rough seas in the Caribbean. Conditions change on a daily basis. It's not like it's some sort of trend. Edited February 4 by staceyglow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted February 4 #3 Share Posted February 4 The only private island that Carnival has that requires tenders is Half Moon Cay that I can think of off the top of my head. If they miss that stop generally you get a bonus sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have missed HMC once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davechipp74 Posted February 4 #6 Share Posted February 4 Did I read somewhere on this board that drink package does not count on private island? I can swear I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The drink package does not work with Carnival (works with Holland American) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Sailormike Posted February 4 #9 Share Posted February 4 We just got off Sunshine yesterday and we missed HMC. They did nothing more for us it just became another sea day! they did add a couple of trivia and a rock paper scissors tournament. all excursions were refunded, and so were the port costs!

It is not Carnival's fault (or any other cruise line) when the weather prohibits docking or tendering. I appreciate the captain erring on the side of safety. There are plenty of things to do on the ship. It's another sea day. I understand disappointment, but like the bumper sticker says - stuff happens.
