Anthem itinerary change due to weather

We were told today, just prior to sail away, that our itinerary will change from Orlando, Nassau, CoCocay to just 2 days in Labadee.  This is due to weather.

still awaiting on official word on compensation, if any

interesting that there is no US port.  I thought they needed a US port.

I think it is the other way around, they have to have a non-US port.  That is why the Alaskan cruise always stop in Victoria. But I could be wrong.

Just found this on-line:

In general terms, foreign-flagged cruise ships are required to visit at least one non-U.S. port so that they cannot benefit from sailing exclusively within U.S. waters while simultaneously skirting U.S. tax and labor laws.

 

This is also why Hawaiian cruises will start/end in Vancouver or will have one stop in Mexico if leaving from LA

Selfishly, I am excited to go to Labadee on a cruise from NJ. It seems to be a rare happening since the restart. they say we will get equivalent of 1 day of cruise fare in refundable OBC. So not bad. I feel for those that are missing out on perfect day if that was thier main reason for booking.

It’s been years since I’ve been to Labadee, so I don’t mind.

re:reimbursement, I’m on a casino comp, so no $back for the inconvenience, maybe they’ll be credit for port fees

They can't leave well enough alone. Now day two at Labadee has been replaced with Porta Plata. Which is mostly no skin of my nose, but some folks at lunch were lamenting the loss\refund of yet more excursions they had already booked. I know there are probably extenuating circumstances we are not aware of, but jeez. I was initially impressed that they had a plan so quickly in place and everyone had so much time to plan. They've undone a bit of that here IMO.

Porta Plata is 7:30-12:30.  

Still we are very excited to see those ports instead of good ol CocoCay and Nassau. I understand that missing Perfect Day is disappointing for families with kids (1050 onboard) but for us it feels like an unexpected upgrade. 

Casino comp cruise but still we’ve got almost 100$ credit 🙂

I’m on a comp and did not get anything, neither did my friend, she has her own comp room.   Was your almost $100 from something else, like an excursion?

they’ve refunded our excursions but we had an extra amount for “an incident”. It might be related to the fact that we paid for an upgrade to the balcony stateroom (not Royal Up)

Thank you, that was likely it.  I inquired and he explained my room was comped do no credit…..which is what I expected.  At least there was no line, so the inquiry didn’t cost me time! Lol

I was tracking the Anthem while it was avoiding the storm…did you encounter rough seas?  I hope your cruise back to Cape Liberty is smooth and uneventful.

We most certainly did! I’m sure it wasn’t as bad had we gone right into it though!

there was talk of rough seas on the way home, haven’t seen an update yet. Fingers crossed it stays ok.
