RCVoyager Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 I just noticed for the first time (that I have noticed), the Mariner is headed to Grand Turk (per cruisetimetables.com). Is this news? I thought only Carnival and it's umbrella of companies could go there because Carnival owns the dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 When is it scheduled to cruise there? That sounds promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCVoyager Posted November 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 I did a little digging. The Mariner is scheduled to port there this week. However, it is a chartered cruise. RCCL must have been granted an exception for this ship this week, because it's the only ship not from the Carnival family I see porting there for the next several months. Interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Just want to echo what @RCVoyager said and state that it is a chartered sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flacruiser99 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Ivé seen Carnival at CoCo Cay so why can't RCI go to Grand Turk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Heard From Someone On My Last Cruise On Harmony That The Reason Is That Carnival Paid For The Dock And Most Of The Surrounding Plaza Around The Pier. So Carnival Does Not Like Other Cruise Lines Taking One Of The Main Ports To Use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would be before RCCL invested so many $ in Coco Cay. Makes sense these cruise lines want to protect their investment which makes the Mariner at Grand Turk this week scratch my head a little.

With the sailings being chartered ones. I'm sure a reasonable pile of cash to the appropriate parties can be helpful towards an investment.
