We  leave out of Norfolk Va  on Oct 15th . If and when will carnival let us know about itinerary changes ? thanks

Related to anything in particular, like a stop in Grand Turk?  For that, probably just a few days before, since I doubt they know when/whether it will be "more operational".

As soon as any changes are confirmed. Any time between now and minutes before the gangway opens. I have had port changes relayed to me months before sailing via email and also had the captain come over the PA and tell us we couldn't safely tender at HMC that day. So there is no rule.

I am sure Carnival wants to keep the itinerary unchanged if possible.

 

They aren't going to announce any changes until a) it is absolutely certain they won't be able to keep to the orginal itinerary b) they know where they are going to go instead.

Last time I sailed with an itinerary change(on Pride from Baltimore, 2019) we never found out until a few hours after we sailed.  We were supposed to go to Bermuda and around 9PM it was announced we were going to Bahamas instead.

 

Nothing you could do at that point.

 

There were still some people that went totally crazy and carried on all night...lol

Try Princess that knew for months Crown couldn't sail it's scheduled itineraries due to mechanical problems but waited to notify passengers of the itinerary change.

Yet to pick my cruise line or even cruise based upon how well they tell us of cancellations….but that is me.

I don't understand why they didn't take that ship out of service and put in one of the others they had sitting around in for it.
