I am sooo glad I found this thread because I was JUST about to book through Carnival where they are charging $20 per person from Tampa Port to TIA. That would be $60 for me my husband and son...why pay that when we can pay $25 + tips?!? This is our first cruise and of course you try to plan everything in advanced. We leave Dec 8th to Cayman Island and Cozumel. Again thanks! :D

Questions & Answers
Updated September 26, 2017
Are there any Holland America Line ships in the Caribbean at the moment?
There are no Holland America Line ships in the Caribbean until mid-October.
Will cruises be cancelled?
We will not be cancelling any Caribbean cruises at this time.
Will my itinerary be changed?
For 2017 guests, if there is a change to the itinerary it is noted above. 2018 itineraries are being evaluated and an update will be provided on October 5.
Are you still going to San Juan, Puerto Rico?
Our first scheduled call at San Juan is not until October 31. At this time is impossible for us to predict whether they will be ready to receive ship calls by then.
We always prefer to retain our published ports of call whenever possible. The decision to make a call will be based on information from local authorities, port officials and tour operators to ensure we can deliver a safe and positive guest experience.
Should San Juan not be ready to receive guests, we will make that change closer to the cruise departure dates, and booked guests and their agents would be notified.
Will our insurance cover us if we cancel?
Each insurance policy is different, as a result guests should speak directly to their travel insurance provider.
What if I have booked EXC Tours™ in cancelled ports, will these be cancelled?
EXC Tours booked for a cancelled port of call will be automatically refunded back to the original form of payment. EXC Tours for our new ports of call will soon be available to book on our website.
Can I bring items to donate on board?
As it requires infrastructure to receive and distribute supplies and the needs at the islands vary, the organizations responding to the rebuilding efforts are requesting monetary donations. Donations will be accepted onboard.
