ChucktownSteve Posted September 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2022 A couple days ago we received notice that Regent cancelled our Grand Cayman excursion on our January Panama Canal cruise. When I went to the website to find a substitution I discovered there were no excursions available for the port either free or choice. The port still shows on the itinerary. The Regent rep says she shows no excursions listed for the port either but to wait a few days to see what they post. Does anyone know if there is something happening with Grand Cayman or if it's being removed from itineraries? Thankx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douginct Posted September 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Ah - my issue / question exactly. I also got notice that our Grand Cayman excursion was cancelled and none are listed. Hopefully we will get an answer soon and if the port is cancelled, there will be a substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted September 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2022 We have had notice of cancelled excursions in GeorgeTown on the Splendor December cruise, with no alternatives available. The Cayman port schedule still shows Splendor there on December 22 and January 19, which is the same as the Regent itineraries. Maybe an issue with the shore excursion operators? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipcruise Posted September 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Same here. My family hopes for a substitute - hubby and son would love to go to key west instead. I don’t mind. All I want is to embark for that cruise December 20th in Miami… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipcruise Posted September 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I just received this email from regent. We can book new excursions in October 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted September 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Yes, received the same email today. Intrigued by the line: "We are currently working on creating some exciting new offerings" I wonder what was the issue with the old offerings? 🤔 .................... and why is it taking a month to finalise the new offerings? 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyw Posted September 20, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2022 We will already be on the Navigator when the new excursions are offered as we are sailing on the 12th from Montreal back to Miami and Grand Cayman is on our itinerary too.

Dolebludger Posted September 20, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2022 If Cayman is experiencing a serious labor shortage (as most of the world is) I would expect the problem is due to understaffed tour operators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douginct Posted September 20, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Question - I know Cayman is a tender port (at least on my upcoming cruise). Does anyone know if the tender leaves us off right at a downtown area such that if we didn't book an excursion, we could simply go to town, do some exploring by foot, maybe have lunch and then head back? Or we we first have to find transport into town? TIA. Edited September 20, 2022 by douginct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownie54 Posted September 20, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Unless the weather is bad, you will tender near downtown. If the weather is very windy, you will tender at South Sound, which is a bus ride to downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
