NE/Canadian Itinerary change?!

[WMQueenie]

We leave this Saturday on the Sunshine to NE/Canada and rec'd an email yesterday saying our itinerary changed - "Due to operational considerations" Boston is now Monday 8-5 when it was Sunday, 2-10PM...Portland was Monday 8-3, now Tuesday 7-3...etc.

 

Just kind of wondering out loud why a Canadian itinerary would change? I can understand the Caribbean itineraries being changed completely! But Canada? Anyone ever have this happen to them?

 

We had nothing planned in each port, so the changes really don't matter to us but I'm sure there are plenty of people who had non-Carnival excursions planned.

The Canadian government recently applied a lower "speed limit" in the St. Lawrence river. Its possible that this is causing the change.

May be a “speed” factor as 1025cruise said. We recently had a similar port schedule adjustment in another ship due to its propulsion problem.

At what point would the ship be on the St Lawrence River?

 

It could be a port/docking issue at a single port of call. A change with one could cause a domino effect.

Last year we had our itinerary reversed due to weather. It happens.

Or perhaps its due to floating icebergs in the Northwest Passage ? jk

Not all itinerary changes are due to weather.

That is actually the "normal" itinerary for this run. For some reason the first and last 7 day Canada /NE cruises had the Sunday Boston arrivals.
