Nassau excursion cancelled on my trip in February

my 3 night Freedom trip to Perfect Day and Nassau has some itinerary changes and they cancelled my Nassau itinerary. So guess it's an added sea day?

Got me scared after I saw Chris Wong's video about the 4 ships cancelling their cruises.  If they are going to cancel this, they better let me know sooner rather than later so I can fix my hotels and flights.

Probably too many ships scheduled to be in port that day so someone was the odd man out

Sounds like just your shore excursion got canceled, not the port stop.

This is what I read as well. They refund the original form of payment for shore excursions or if the entire cruise was canceled. It is possible that this is a sign they are canceling the port stop as well, but that cannot be confirmed from this message alone.

@D AltI'd call Royal to confirm whether the port stop is canceled or just the excursion. Hopefully it's the latter.

Might also want to update the topic title if just the excursion is canceled. Can be done by editing your original post.

This is for an excursion, not the port stop. They've even advised you to look at other options in the cruise planner later in the message.

FYI: "for operational reasons" can mean a host of things from business closures to staffing issues to no longer having a service contract with Royal Caribbean.

I also agree with @AspiringCruisePlanner, you may want to update the topic title to address that it is for an excursion, not the port stop.

thanks all.  yes it was just my excursion to Pearl Island that was cancelled at this time.
