Cozumel Cancelled AGAIN

[Katiemay0101]

This is the third time we've tried to cruise to Cozumel. Twice they changed the itinerary and one cruise was cancelled. I get it, we're in pandemic but I've been to the Bahamas and NO, I don't want to go again. 

Does anyone know why they changed the itinerary for the April 19th trip on Mariner? I guess we're just not meant to see Cozumel. Ugh!

If they swapped Cozumel for Bahamas, I strongly suspect it's so the ship can visit a country with a vaccine requirement so the line can get around Florida's anti-vaccine mandate law.

Also with Cayman/Labadee closed and Jamaica still ramping up, more cruises are being sent to the default ports like Bahamas and Cozumel, causing traffic problems there.

I was in Cozumel on Monday, so the island isn't locked down. There were a number of ships in port.

I was in cozumel today. No issues.

No real answers for you, but I'm on that same sailing! Fortunately, we've been to Cozumel several times as well as the Bahamas, so we were unfazed by the change- just a short getaway for me and hubs without the kids. But I can understand your frustration if you booked that sailing specifically for its original itinerary. Would you be able to cancel under CWC and switch to a different sailing? I'm not really sure all the rules of that.

Pretty sure this is why they dropped Key West and replaced it with Bimini on our Jewel of the Seas cruise in a couple of weeks.

Cruise from Galveston almost Guaranteed that you'll hit Cozumel

Jan 23 sailing and I am still listed to go to Cozumel. So I am unsure why your sailing is changed.

I understand why, but I am still disappointed as I did wish to go to key west.

Absolutely, I have a friend who was there a few days ago on Carnival.

I always recommend that if there's a place you absolutely 100% want to visit, a land vacation to that place is the best choice.

Thats so wierd, we are on Mariner on March 31, and they switched us from the Nassau to Cozumel. Perhaps it is related?
