Change in Itinerary 12/19 and 12/26 Cruises?

[Longhorn Cruiser]

My TA just told me that Oasis will be going to Nassau on Sunday instead of Friday of these 2 cruises. Also they will be in port from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm instead of 1-7.

 

Who wants to get up at 7 in the morning to go to the beach?

Im going in the 12/26 cruise and i've just checked the itinerary and this is true. I think that will be a lost port for me...

I wonder why the first two aren't effected. We are on the 1/2 sailing and only plan to go into Nassau to take a horse and carriage ride. I would prefer having Nassau on the first day and end with a sea day.

 

Looking at the port loads the 12/26 sailing shifts from a packed port day to a moderately full port day. The 12/19 sailing on the other hand is switching from a nearly empty port day to a packed one. So port capacity has nothing to do with it.

 

Edit: I just noticed that it pushes the St. Thomas arrival time back an hour but you still leave at the same time. We have an Oasis exclusive excursion booked there that lasts the entire time we're in port. I wonder how RCCL will handle this excursion for the modified sailings.

I bet it is because you would be in port on Christmas day and New Years Day.

They figured out everything was closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day as previously scheduled.

 

I guess its official:

Sounds like an improved itinerary to me.... That Nassau stop last day of crusing at 1-7 is terrible.

I like the Friday stop in Nassau much better. Most stores are closed on Sunday also. Especially that early.

I don't like Nassau on the last day myself. I prefer it to be a sea day since there is so much to do on the last day, especially the packing. I like to do the ports first and then relaxing the last days. I like the arrangements of the Allure better.
