I am also on this cruise but all documentation from RCI informs me that the ship will now leave on the 8 November not the 9.
We have also lost visiting 4 Caribbean islands (which is why we chose this particular cruise in the first place) and they have just added St Marten as an alternative. I appreciate that their concern is for safety of the passengers but they could have used more imagination with the revised programme.
For example last year we were on similar Transatlantic cruise stopping at Boston and New York but because of bad weather the stops were cancelled but they substituted Canary Islands, Grand Bahamas & Cape Canavaral, although they tried to suggest visiting Bruges and Le Havre which of course all the Brits objected to.
The company have refunded us some money as on board credit and we are also to receive some next cruise vouchers but it does not make up for the disappointment of having lost 3 days of our holiday and not visiting the islands intended
