S. Noble Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 It is truly a shame that we don't have a live blog going for the cruise that goes to Labadee this week. I'll be checking their FB group though. I'm on the edge of my seat to know how it goes for our intrepid fellow cruisers! Edit: Just noticed that @nhilding10is on the sailing so I'm sure we'll get some news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, and what seems very oddly, neither of us have had a single symptom or felt sick AT ALL. So while the test showed we were positive, otherwise we would have been none-the-wiser! Very lucky, no doubt, given some of the stories we've all seen and heard. I'll thank my lucky stars that's how we feel and consider us very blessed to already be looking at a replacement booking!

Patchy Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Labadee is officially ditched from the 2/11 Anthem sailing (and also ditching San Juan as well). Replaced with Puerto Plata D.R. and St. Thomas instead. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane LW Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 We just received an email from RC yesterday that our Allure trip 2/19 will be rerouting to Labadee because Dom Rep’s port will be under construction. Because of the change they are also changing our St Kitts port to Nassau. We’re disappointed as the St Kitts port was the reason we chose that sailing. We’ve been to Nassau a few times already, and were not impressed with Labadee during a previous cruise. Royal is not offering compensation and if we rebook to another ship with stops at ports that we want to see, we will need to pay the difference in fare. Has anyone ever had luck in getting some kind of compensation when itinerary changes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBo Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Exciting! We're booked on Mariner February 12-17 for our 40th engagement anniversary, and scheduled to port at both Coco Cay & Labadee. We dreaded getting notice of an itinerary change to Nassau, so this news about Harmony in port on Thursday is fantastic! Last time we were at Labadee was 2018, so glad to be heading back.

Flowrider Posted January 29 Author Report Share Posted January 29 https://listindiario.com/economia/2022/01/11/704387/agenda-de-llegada-de-cruceros-continua-variacion/amp/ According to this news article they had 50 ships scheduled for stoping in Puerto Plata in January.

Kinda getting excited now about Puerto Plata because the port area looks gorgeous, and St. Thomas’s beaches look amazing too. But we would love to be at Labadee as well!

Itinerary changes are always possible and I think even mentioned in the cruise contract that you accept the possibility it could happen. So I doubt you'll be getting any compensation outside of refunds for any excursions at the ports you're no longer visiting. I suppose you could try to make use of the Cruise with Confidence but that's really your only option I think. (Other than just trying to make the best out of it - maybe trying new excursions at Labadee and treating nassau like a sea day or getting a day pass at a hotel?)

Has anyone ever had luck in getting some kind of compensation when itinerary changes?? I'm a little late to chime in, but if you purchased travel insurance, it might include compensation for missed ports (which includes itinerary changes). I know my Allianz policies purchased from AAA include it. Or, you could probably find a different cruise at a good price with the current sale. I recently cancelled and rebooked for a similar reason. I'm sure you'd have a good time on this one, but personally, I'd probably rebook and go where you really want...especially if you wouldn't be able to take a second cruise in the near future.
