hawkeye93 Posted March 2, 2020 #79 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Braemar ship: http://www.loopslu.com/content/st-maarten-cruise-ship-allowed-emergency-turnaround-5 I don’t really understand this. So 80 people left the ship and boarded charter flights (mainly to the UK)? What’s an “in-transit” passenger? I’m confused. “636 passengers disembarked, 556 embarked, 56 were in-transit passengers, four disembarking crew and 380 in transit crew”.

All I get from this is they all basically agreed to expand discussions and also put a provision in place to allow individual states to add their own policies. Is there anything else I’m missing here?

cruisemel Posted March 2, 2020 #84 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Just heard from my daughter & she said it was because the Grand Caymans & Jamaica has been turning ships away due to coronavirus. The Captain said they were rerouting to play it safe. No health issues on board as far as they know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyotravel Posted March 2, 2020 #85 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Are they getting different ports or just days at sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierpop Posted March 2, 2020 #86 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Good for Carnival. If islands want to deny ships, that’s their right. But it’s also Carnival’s right on where to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted March 2, 2020 #87 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I have cruised over 25 years and never had this problem, so I thought I would ask. I just read that one of Carnival's ships was to go to Jamaica (one of the ports we are to go to in two weeks), but they changed the plan because of the Coronaviris. My question, if this happens to us, does Carnival make up the difference in any way, or do anything (??) because of not cruising to the planned port, or do we just chocked it up to the Coronaviris?

You would be refunded port fees if it becomes a sea day, or charged different ones if it went to a new port. But missed ports are part of the cruise game, so typically no compensation otherwise. Unless you somehow got very, very lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather not tender, so Belize is a bit of a bummer over Grand Cayman - but prefer Key West over Jamaica, so I would be happy if I was on there! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianecruising Posted March 2, 2020 #93 Share Posted March 2, 2020 wondering how we find out for those who are sailing on Vista this weekend if there is changes to our itinerary as well - not a huge concern, would be fine with any of those ports....

ozzie0075 Posted March 2, 2020 #95 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Interesting the the Disney Magic is in Grand Cayman and The MSC Seaside is in Ocho Rios so the ports are not denying all ships at this time. Perhaps Carnival decided its not worth dealing with those ports at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie0075 Posted March 2, 2020 #96 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Carnival reserves the right to adjust your itinerary in any way necessary. If you miss a port outright you will receive a refund of port fees and any previously booked excursion. Anything additional would he at Carnival up to Carnival. They may give you a small OBC as a measure of good faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They booted a RCL ship from Costa Maya bc of the reroute? I’m so confused. What was this itinerary supposed to be? Cayman/Jamaica/coz? And it’s becoming what instead? Half day at CM then Belize and Key West??Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
