Times Prince Posted December 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Wow, this is in direct contrast to the posts about a prior cruise asserting that Princess NEVER provides an alternate port when one is cancelled. I'm glad they were able to get an alternate port in later in the cruise. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pati Posted December 28, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Captain Nick was able to secure us a spot on Friday in Cozumel. Tomorrow will be a sea day instead of Costa maya.😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted December 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2015 11/29 cruise we lost Grand Cayman due to weather (caused 11/30 departure). We were able to substitute Belize. They certainly do TRY, but the don't control the weather or port availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chose not to provide an alternate port last week and I'm happy for the New Year's pax who will not have to endure a week of Captain Nick chasing CB's oversized tail.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted December 29, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) When the Grand was "broken" in the Hawaiian Islands this December, they missed Hilo, Lahaina, and Nawiliwili. Instead, they did an overnight in Honolulu. This was approved by the Harbor Master because there was no other cruise ship due in for a couple of days. There was a container ship "parked" behind them. And harbor dredging had to be rescheduled. But this was an emergency and required the overnight to make the repairs and get Coast Guard sign off. Most ports are scheduled months/years in advance. Most ports have a yearly schedule posted. By the way...for Honolulu Harbor, the cruise ship company/captain make the decision to dock at the old or new terminal. I am so saddened by the take over of Aloha Towers and that ships rarely dock there anymore. Such an iconic and historical location.

ar1950 Posted December 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) ....................... I am so saddened by the take over of Aloha Towers and that ships rarely dock there anymore. Such an iconic and historical location. Interesting to know. Thanks for the info. Now have a better understanding of why Honolulu docking assignments are done how they are done. And, why we may be where we are on our upcoming cruise. BTW, I see, as of a few minutes ago, there are a few available, although stupidly high priced, cabins available for our Hawaii out of LA on 1-9-16 cruise. Splurge and come along with us, we would like to see you again.;) Edited December 29, 2015 by ar1950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted December 29, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 29, 2015 On January 1, 2 NCL ships, 1 RCCL ship and 1 CCL ship are scheduled to be in Cozumel. Therefore there is room for another ship to use Puerta Maya (actually two more) which is the port that Carnival Corp uses. Since there will only be 15,286 pax on the 4 ships, there will be excursions available. Hopefully the CB will be able to call on Roatan and Belize this time.

floridalover5623 Posted December 29, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Sometimes they can substitute a different port if everything lines up with ship schedules & distances to the next port. Luckily it did in your case. When we've missed ports the only thing that happened was a refund of port charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted December 31, 2015 #15 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I trust you made it into Mahogany Bay. Ship's cam says you are on the way to Belize. We sail on the CB in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
