Itinerary Change - Harmony Dec 24th

Hi All-

Received email today that Dec 24th Harmony sailing has an itinerary change from St Thomas to San Juan. We are very disappointed with this. Anyone have any insight on why they changed ports?

Thanks

Sweet, I'd much rather go to San Juan than St. Thomas.

It says "due to a berthing conflict," which means that multiple ships were scheduled to visit St. Thomas that day, and the port facilities and local tour operators may not be equipped to handle all of the ships adequately. The Harmony can carry over 6,000 passengers - I think the larger ships are more likely to be turned away when this kind of port conflict happens.

Yeah, ship's too big to be there with other ships in the port.  I too like St. Thomas; probably more so than Puerto Rico.

Few years back before Crown Bay comes into the picture when they had too many ships in one day some can drop anchor in the bay then tender people to downtown Charlotte Amalie.  

We like St. Thomas too.
