itinerary change

And we're not talking about covering quantifiable losses. This isa flat amount of compensation for the inconvenience or disappointment. Those who have made claims for this have reported that they just provided proof of the change, not proof of having paid for something at the port for which reimbursement was not forthcoming.

Or maybe we booked this cruise too early and should have waited til the itinerary was adjusted accordingly..of course that could be while on board.

This, especially if it is a new itinerary that is still being worked on.

On the other hand, you have booked for enough out that a whole ship charter could happen and your cruise canceled....;p

 

We certainly do enjoy cruising but we go for the itineraries first. At first choosing there were 10 ports that we had not visited. Victoria was one stop I was looking forward to. I hope they don't keep whittling.

Switch to one of the other two departures if you can. The first cruise dropped Anchorage but kept Vancouver and Victoria; I'm on the second one; that dropped Vancouver but stops at Anchorage and Victoria (both of which I've been to but not Vancouver, grrr). The third departure which I guess you're on dropped Victoria but goes to Anchorage and Vancouver.

in all due respect, i am not so sure that this is a fair statement. We enjoy cruising very much and have been cruising for many years (more than is listed below). This is actually the first time that we have ever experienced itinerary changes with our other cruises, let alone 3 in just this one cruise.

 

many people cruise because they love cruising and really are not bothered by itinerary changes, and in fact, some don't even leave the boat when docked.

 

many people do cruise with specific itineraries in mind. That doesn't mean cruising it not for these people. Does it mean we should adjust to the changes that are out of our control? Of course it does, if we have our heart set on that cruise. Does it mean we shouldn't get a bit frustrated if the changes are repetitive? Or maybe we booked this cruise too early and should have waited til the itinerary was adjusted accordingly..of course that could be while on board.

Port Alberni is an interesting stop. The last time a HAL cruise ship stopped was 5 years ago. In 2019, three HAL cruise ships will stop there.

The sail into the town was very beautiful, since you steam through Vancouver Island's longest inlet. The town has about 17,000 people, give or take, and many were out to greet our boat and answer questions.

While we were there, it started to rain pretty heavy. The town folk were driving by to see the passengers from the ship and started rolling down there windows and handing out their own umbrellas.

We enjoyed it as it was not a usual cruise stop.

Where ever you end up stopping, enjoy your cruise :)

Not sure if you'll get there or not, since it's 30 mins from Port Alberni, but Coombs Goats on Roof is a fun stop:
