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. WAIT!? I was just about to say out of all these mid-late April notifications I didn't see any update about the Explorer of the Seas sailing leaving 3/31. My cruise planner still shows Labadee, and I have no emails from RC yet? Is this real? Grand Cayman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why haven't we gotten notified, we are 12 days away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're also a b2b on 4/5 @ 9 night no stop in labadee on this itinerary. Hope this helps! Edited March 20 by ChittyChittyBangBang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes totally helps, so in everyone's opinion, would it be safe to cancel our current excurionS we have booked for Labadee and allow the refund to process so we can book something else?

I doubt very much Royal will be calling on it anytime soon. I know they are looking at the issue every week but until there is some sort of order in the rest of the country they aren’t going to go.

I’m on this sailing as well, was definitely a nice surprise getting that email. Are you able to book anything yet for st Maarten? My app still showing Labadee currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not seen any change for Labadee... any info on this sailing? Too far out I suspect.

For whatever reason it appears Symphony is last to be updated among the Labadee impacted ships. My understanding (unconfirmed) for 3/23 she is going to Falmouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havin'fun Posted March 20 #239 Share Posted March 20 Adventure 4/12 sailing just changed from Labadee to Grand Turk. I have always liked Labadee but Grand Turk is a new port for me so this was a decent trade off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromma16872 Posted March 20 #242 Share Posted March 20 Today we got an email about our cruise on Oasis the last of march. CocoCay TWO days, becouse Labadee will be canceled. My question is: Will they "close" CocoCay on the evening/night? We will be docked all night i think... I cant think that the ship will leave and come back again the following morning.

When they did 2 coco cay nights just after the restart, first they'd go out to sea for the night, then changed it to stay docked, but with the gangway closed overnight.

However, while there is a flowrider and swim up bar, there is no makeshift roller coaster. By the way, did you apply for the open Secretary of Tourism job in Haiti yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All true about GT; however if you wanted a quiet day on the beach with an open bar and your drink package; Labadee is better. Again, it all depends on what one is looking for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethorama Posted March 20 #247 Share Posted March 20 Bummer. We only got another day of cruising and we already had two. Now we have 3 days of cruising and only 2 port days. Disappointing. Symphony of the seas April 28. 6 night western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poleman88 Posted March 20 #248 Share Posted March 20 just got notified that we will be going to Falmouth instead of Labadee. Would’ve preferred Perfect Day, but I’d guess there wasn’t room for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethorama Posted March 20 #249 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Just an FYI. RCCL isn’t offering any upgrades, reduced cruise price or even port fees back for changing to another cruising day. We’ll be cruising more than actually going anywhere. Not impressed. For those who got an alternate port that you aren’t happy with, you should just feel lucky. Some of us only got more time at sea for the same cost. 😡 Edited March 20 by Bethorama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nice waterfalls in the DR and Jamaica and places to go for people who like animals for those who want to leave the ship and St. Marteen is beautiful (and Maho beach is interesting).
