New Port Changes Announced. No St. Croix until 2018

Heads up for anyone sailing the next few months. i just received a call from Celebrity that St. Croix has been removed from our sailing on the Eclipse December 10. I haven’t received any email on this. The Celebrity site says it will not call at St. croix until January 2018 so I’m sure we are not the only sailing affected by this. We were given Nassau instead, with changes to timing of sea days. Oh, well.

Changes are being posted on their website and updated as they assess the situation and ability to dock at certain ports. As of last week, I only saw 2017 cruises that were affected ... but this week shows some changes for their 2018 itineraries. There may be more depending on the remainder of the hurricane season. Might be good to check on this from time to time leading up to your cruise.

Yup. However, Celebrity’s web page does not show this latest update to itinerary when you click on individual voyages. It only shows the LAST update, from September, that added st. Croix . Only the page showing status of individual islands is up to date.I just wanted to give heads up to people who may not have been contacted.

Well, that stinks...I was hoping to call in the USVI this trip. But will be in a cruise so all is good!

We are on Refection Dec 8 2017 and our itinerary shows St Croix as one of our replacement stops for St Martin, haven't heard anything yet about St Croix being changed, even on the Celebrity Itinerary changes page

Notified via call from Celebrity today that our 12/9/17 Equinox cruise will now stop at St. Thomas instead of St. Croix. Call indicated they would send a follow up email next Monday.

St. Croix and St. Kitts out and Martinique and St. Thomas are in. We are on that same cruise.

We are on 12/23 Equinox- called Celebrity and confirmed St Thomas is replacing St Croix. They still seem to think we are going to San Juan...

Came to post Reflections changes and already been done. :) I guess it will depend on your sailing to where your port change will be.

Ugh - really? We are on the Eclipse 12/10 and I have had no call or email - though they did email me 2 x when they made the change originally to DR and then to St Croixx. I am SO bummed I do not like Nassau - have been there several cruises and well just not a thing. Also our sea days are changed? Can you please post the new itinerary as it is NOT showing on C's website.

Wow - I was really looking forward to St. Croix - well maybe they will make another change before we board!!!

We confirmed Reflection Dec 8 yesterday with cruise line and they confirmed change. As in the past it takes them a few days to update. We have not heard or gotten a e-mail as of tonight , but the same thing happened on last change!

Sailing isn't until Jan 20th on Equinox but personally find it odd some small 3rd party sites have us going to St. Croix instead of originally scheduled stop at St. Maarten. Plenty of time before we sail but I just find it odd small 3rd party sites would take the time to make changes if the actual cruise line hasn't posted,called or emailed anything. Maybe they know an Celebrity is just being slow telling actual passengers, we shall see.

We have not been notified yet either and on same cruise. Let's plan a ship party! Nassau is not our thing either!

We were told by a fellow cruiser on the roll call (who was notified by his TA) that on Silhouette 11/26, San Juan was replaced by CocoCay. Not posted on Celebrity Travel Alerts yet.

Haven't heard from Celebrity about my Equinox Xmas cruise , but my son recieved this from his TA, looks like it from Celebrity

We are on the Dec. 9th- 16th Eastern and I got a call that instead of St. Croix it will now be St. Tomas and emails will be sent by next monday. so no shore ex for St. T. yet. Probably can look at other ships that go there and see want has been offered for hints.

I’m glad at least some voyages have st. Thomas as a replacement port ! We got Nassau, which is aggravating me more and more as I read about it. I live in Florida, the beaches and water won’t be any warmer in Nassau than they are at home in December. It’s not even a Caribbean port . And there isn’t much to do. Not to mention that it changed our sea days around.

Same cruise, also received call. Itinerary hasn't yet been updated on the travel status page for that cruise on the website, but the port status link on the website seems to have been updated. This might be useful to some of you:

We are on the Refelction Dec 8th 10 day and the only change we have is going to St. Thomas again for the 4th time and Martinique which we are happy about. I do not understand why St. Thomas since it is really in bad shape . Everything else is intact which is a good thing. I agree with you on the Nassau port. We were suppose to stay in St. Maartin for 2 days on the orignial cruise schedule. Have a good time and enjoy ! Bob

Can certainly understand why no St. Croix for a while.

Had lunch today with a friend who has houses there ... so much damage there. :(:(
