Cozumel canceled? Oct 24th, 31st Liberty of the seas.

Just had two things canceled on my b2b on Liberty starting on October 24th.  Anyone else have the same thing happen? Sounds like they are canceling the stop from what the email stated.

The second half of your two week cruise (October 31) is to the Cayman Islands which will not reopen for cruise ships until late January 2022. We are on that cruise and have been waiting for the itinerary change as we have all our excursions booked. This particular change though looks like the tour operator is cancelling as they are suggesting a different excursion in Cozumel.

Don't know.  It's odd that they killed off from two separate cruises.  At this point I am almost considering canceling.  It's not that I don't enjoy being on the ship but the few excursions I want to do end up being dives and if I am going to end up being on the same route and only able to do a couple (Costa Maya is WAY overpriced IMHO so only doing it once) I honestly have much less desire to go.  

 

I like being in the water to burn a couple cylinders and then basically lounging around the rest of the day.  I have even considered finding out if I can take my cylinders with me on the ship if I end up in a place like CoCo Cay or Labadee.  Then get to the dock and just hop off and explore while the people around are wondering what just happened.

A friend of mine has taken all her diving gear on RCI before.  That as pre-Covid but I wouldn't think that would change anything.

I took my bcd, fins, mask, regulators, and that kind of stuff but not a cylinder. She took hers? Plus my 117 steels are 60 pounds each full. I'm guessing the porters won't enjoy that,  lol.

She had a cart that the (2) cylinders were in that had wheels on it.  I don't remember if she carried (rolled) them on herself or if she turned them over to the porters.

Awesome.  That opens up a whole world of possibilities.

The email you posted says the tour was cancelled, not the port stop in Cozumel. It offers an alternative excursion for Cozumel so it sounds like it’s just that the tour you booked is no longer offered.
