This seems to be a prime example of Your Mileage May Vary. I'm in the same spot and had my TA call Windstar. First offer was an upgrade and $250 OBC per person which I accepted. Perhaps you could try another call agent or ask for a supervisor?

What was the compensation?

She is 39 years old and cannot fathom days at sea on such a small ship.

Oh, the horror.

I think the new itineraries were well done under the circumstances, they managed to keep air fares intact by keeping San Juan. I'm not too excited about the new sea day and the short last day, but I would assume they will provide some onboard gestures to make up

Stand corrected.. on Windstar's site in the account it shows this as the new itinerary Dec 2:

Nothing new on Dec 2nd Pride departure yet

Same boat as you, haven't heard anything yet. I can't see how they find a route out of Puerto Rico thats viable right now

Yes, I'm booked on Pride Dec 2 - this is the letter I received:

***

Windstar will call at Vieques, Puerto Rico instead of the original scheduled stop at Isla Culebra, Puerto Rico. This change is being made for operational reasons, and we believe your experience will be positively impacted as well.

Isla Culebra has a narrow channel entrance, which frequently forces us to cancel our stop there due to strong winds. Vieques does not have this problem and should provide a more sheltered anchorage. Similar to Isla Culebra, it will give you a taste of small-island life in Puerto Rico. Vieques boasts more than 20 breathtaking and diverse beaches, each with its own character and appeal. There are no stoplights, fast-food chains, nightclubs, or shopping malls. The main attraction is Mother Nature, but you will also find a delightful selection of restaurants and a few stores.

Since we are no longer visiting Isla Culebra, any shore excursions you booked will be cancelled and you will be able to purchase other tours. Please view the excursions online and purchase in advance so you don’t miss out.

We apologize for any inconvenience this port change may cause, and we trust that this change will enhance your experience. As always, our primary goal is to provide the best voyage possible for you.
