Booked NS for January 7, 2024 to January 14, 2024. Eastern Caribbean. I was REALLY looking forward to Grand Turk as my husband worked there on projects when he was in the Navy and said it was beautiful. It got changed to Amber Cove Dominican Republic. I was bummed but knew there was nothing I could do. Going with my 75 y/o mom for her last cruise ever and my first. Looked at excursions and saw Amber Cove had shore excursions with dolphins. Now the excursions have been posted an it's not an option. I guess another cruise line arrives an hour before us and got that excursion. Now we're really bummed about it all and it doesn't appear there are any independent dolphin excursions.
Just need advise or cheering up I guess. I wanted this to be so perfect for mom and it seems like it's all falling apart. Like I never should have even chosen HAL. I mean we spent 6k and keep getting disappointed. I hope once she's on the ship it's not a letdown.
