Rare AstoriaPreppy Posted March 19 #207 Share Posted March 19 On 3/18/2024 at 3:19 PM, kitkat343 said: An overnight in Falmouth would make it easier to reach these attractions, but I don't know why they would want to route the ships in Falmouth versus Ocho Rios (if anyone knows of better excursions closer in Falmouth please tell me since I'd love to know!) When Oasis-class was developed, they were way too large for typical cruise ports... ie, Ocho Rios. Not in a beam/draft/length size way, but in a getting people on/off efficiently way. That's why ports like Falmouth were developed. Royal could build a massive facility to their specs, and move a lot of the typical stuff that happens when re-boarding a ship (queues, x-ray, security, etc) off the ship and onto the landside space. It's become common practice now, but when those ships were launched at the end of the 00's, it was revolutionary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pghcrews Posted March 19 #208 Share Posted March 19 Oasis of the Seas sailing out of Miami on March 31 replaced Labadee with a second day at Coco Cay. Really? Two days of amusement park in a row? RCI also will be arriving at Falmouth 3 hours earlier for that previously scheduled stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come GT, GC, STM, B, N, or the other replacements don’t get a PD? Has been a recognized abbreviation for some years now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than nothing and if you don’t want both days, treat one as a sea day and get off the ship on the day with better weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, can always go with one of those stationary sea days, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted March 19 #215 Share Posted March 19 Just received this for our April 20 Adventure cruise: Dear Guest, Due to the evolving situation in Haiti, we’ll now visit Perfect Day at CocoCay instead of Labadee, Haiti. We’ve also swapped the order we’ll visit a few of our destinations. We’re terribly sorry for the last-minute change – your safety is our top priority. Feel free to use this information for insurance purposes. Nevertheless, we’re excited to take you to our beautiful private destination! Below, please find our revised Adventure of the Seas April 20th, 2024, itinerary.

Our chill seekers can sunbathe in a private Overwater Cabana or enjoy a drink at the swim-up bar in the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, Oasis Lagoon™! Thrill seekers can bounce, climb and swing their way through the obstacles in Adventure Pool, or take on the tallest slide in North America — Daredevil's Peak®. Whether you’re looking for thrills or simply want to kick back and chill, Perfect Day at CocoCay has you covered! Shore Excursion Our Shore Excursions team will automatically refund any pre-paid Royal Caribbean International shore excursions booked for Labadee in the form of an Onboard Credit to your SeaPass account.

Thank you for your understanding. We can’t wait to welcome you onboard Adventure of the Seas!

RFerrington Posted March 19 #217 Share Posted March 19 4/14/24 EX will go to PDCC vs Labadee. The best part about this change is that there will now be a sea day between the 2 port of call (the other PoC will be Falmouth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Engineroom Snipe Posted March 19 #218 Share Posted March 19 (edited) My last post was a bit tongue-in-check. Hard to read if the posters think their replacement day is as good or better than what they expected when booking their cruise. I am one who enjoys Coco Cay and the Grand Turk Islands so I would enjoy the change if needed due to weather or a possible civil unrest at an island. Nassau is one place I have visited many times but I can enjoy a few hours there at my favorite spots. Bimini is good for one go around but after that, I might stay on the ship on a port day to recharge and relax without doing excursions. If your itinerary was changed, how was it replaced? Many posters have shown their changes but have not stated if they liked the changes or not. Does this make you happy, sad, or it does not matter? I know we all love cruising because why else would you be posting and responding to this change of itinerary? This post has elicited many reactions because we all have expectations when we book our cruises. I would be one of those that just enjoys the ship on a sea day and call it a day if I cannot make it to port (pun intended). Thoughts........

Butters530 Posted March 20 #222 Share Posted March 20 We are due to sail on Adventure 6/1 going to Labadee. I have not been notified of any change in itinerary yet. Thinking about if I should cancel my shore excursions. If the refund is onboard credit - can I use that to book other excursions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cancel now your refund will go back to the original form of payment. However, I wouldn't cancel now. A lot can happen between now and June 1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got canceled many times, 50% but I see you are scheduled from 7 to 6. Never had 11 hours, was always a lot shorter. You have time rent a car and go to Rum Point. Something to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
