lambs2 Posted February 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks for posting. Such a beautiful place! Was just there a couple months ago, so hope they can get it back to normal very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted February 1, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2019 that's going to make HMC crowded on some days, I am guessing. thanks for the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 1, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Heard about this on the Princess board a few days ago. So sad. It will take time to get it all fixed up. Yes -- a few ships will be stopping at HMC from time to time -- but never when there is a HAL ship there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted February 1, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Could be wrong, but don't believe any ships besides HAL, and on days HAL is not there, Carnival, have anchored off HMC so Princess will be a new visitor to the island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there aren't too many itineraries that co-incide for that stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted February 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Isn't the lunch kind of a cooperative effort between ships when more than one is there? Could be awkward if it was 2 different lines. My take is that not much essential was damaged and it shouldn't be closed for long. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy When two ships are at HMC, absolutely (cooperative efforts on lunch/food making dept, as well as beverage, shorex, entertainment, security and medical depts). There has not, as of yet, been a mix of cruise lines at HMC, so no HAL and Carnival ships together on the same day. We'll see what happens with the temp addition of Princess and available dates until Princess Cays is fixed Edited February 1, 2019 by Copper10-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted February 1, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I was looking at the HMC schedule on cruisetimetables.com and there are only 6 or 7 days open each month for Feb, Mar, and Apr. OTOH, there are about 17 to 20 days where Princess Cay is scheduled for Feb and Mar, so either they will have to either double up at HMC or just go somewhere else, like Nassau maybe. Or still use whatever part of Princess Cay that they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll just see how it works out. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDC1 Posted February 2, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I don't believe that the article said that Princess would be using HMC. Though some Carnival ships that were scheduled for Princess Cay might go to HMC, such as one did a couple of days ago. Not a major point though since Princess has now said that Princess Cay will reopen Feb 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
