My husband and I enjoyed our 11 day cruise on the Regal Princess in late December. We had such a good time we are going again on Mar.3 for a week.
While we had a good time on the ship, we were sadly disappointed to find out a few weeks prior to embarkation that instead of docking at Mahogany Bay, we would be at Coxen Hole. And if you know the difference between these two ports, you will know exactly why it was disappointing! The reason given to us by Princess was “Port congestion.” Now, I’d like to know how a port can be congested when the schedules are made way in advance.
So, just today, we received this SAME notification for our Mar.3 cruise. I am livid, and am wondering what the true story is. When I looked online to see ships scheduled for Mahogany Bay on the day we arrive, only 2 are listed: the Regal Princess and Carnival Spirit. Of course, that is now obsolete, since it changed.
When it happened in December, I just accepted it, but now a second time!? Something is fishy!
Just curious if this has happened to anyone else since the Regal started out of Galveston in the fall?
