This is the first I've heard of this. I'm booked to go in a couple of weeks and this definitely makes me sad.
But to ask those who have sailed since this change, did you find that you could book snorkel, raft tours in Kauai and get to those docks and back to the ship in time? I'm wondering if with the later departure on the second day, if a morning Na Pali Coast snorkel/raft tour would allow me to get back to the ship in time if the boat slip is about an hour away.
Thank you for the tips!
