Miss Bama

I am aware that Carnival can change any itinerary at their discretion. The decision to keep the cruise as is or to cancel is up to me. Granted, Bimini is not the most exciting port, but it is a possible beach day or a day when the ship is less crowded. My main question, other than the unchanged port fees is why only the Spirit. I have checked the cruise ship schedule for Bimini on CruiseMapper for the months in question. there are multiple days where 2 ships are scheduled to be in port at the same time. In each case, both ships are larger than the Spirit so port congestion will not fly. While I will continue to hope that they will replace Bimini with another port, I am going to post on John Heald’s Facebook page.

I am booked on a couple of these cruises on the Spirit where Bimini was dropped. I have several questions for Carnival about this. If I am not mistaken, this change is only for the Spirit. Why only 1 ship? And why was it dropped to begin with? Celebration Cay was always on the itinerary so this change added a sea day. 4 sea days on an 8 day Bahamas cruise. The ship will going in slow circles for 4 days. Why not add a day in Princess Cay or Half Moon Cay to get another beach day? It also looks like a money grab from Carnival since a port was dropped without a drop in port fees.
