Mariner of the Seas 8/29 sailing itinerary change due to emergency at sea

Didn’t see this posted, but recently got off a 5 night sailing on the Mariner of the Seas with a slated itinerary of Labadee and CoCo Cay.

On the first night of the cruise, someone had a medical emergency which resulted in the ship traveling back towards land to assist in their emergency evacuation from the ship. The next day we found out that as a result of the unexpected detour, arrival at Labadee would instead be replaced by a 2nd day at CoCo Cay.

Of course any excursions/taxes/fees that were booked directly were refunded & many onboard seemed disappointed… we even saw a Karen at guest services pop off in dramatic fashion while we were visiting for a different reason, & felt obligated to apologize for any other overly rude guest interaction they may endure that day over the change. 
 

It was our first time at CoCo Cay so TBH the change didn’t personally bother us one way or the other and we just hoped the person was ok.

I was on the same sailing. Two days at CocoCay was not a problem at all in my opinion.

Hey Matt! Small world! This was our first ever RC sailing and I was wondering if that type of double up day happens with any kind of regularity from unforeseen events? We felt like we were getting almost a “special secret bonus itinerary” cruise (with all due respect and no ill intention meant to those that were evacuated).

honestly, i'd kind of love two days at coco cay. gives you more time to enjoy.

I agree. It’s about time for overnights. I could see adding some nighttime venues (bars, clubs, casino, possibly a fire show). This would be perfection. I actually wonder why they haven’t done this yet.
