They just reinstated Toulon on my cruise on 8/25. 

I get missing ports is a part of cruising. I was on a European cruise last year and we missed 2 ports due to weather. The cruise line was very apologetic and not only refunded the port fees and taxes, but also provided passengers with refundable credit. 

Advertising a cruise and then pulling a port for no good reason (I have never thought to myself 'gee I need more sea days') is poor customer service. Refunding $11 seems like they are thumbing their nose. If they want to change next year's itinerary, fine, but don't change it when many people have already booked.

I won't let it ruin my cruise but that doesn't mean I can't complain about it.

We were just in St. Kitts on 2/9 and got the day pass at the Marriott. We got there at about 9:30am and had no problem purchasing a pass at the desk (they still give out wristbands). It is $49 per person and gives you access to the beach and the pool. At the beach, chairs are included as well as a cabana-like covered area. Cabanas at the pool are an additional $30. Also get a discount on food, drinks and spa services. Nice beach, very quiet and plenty of room. 

We are scheduled on the Apex on 2/5; the itinerary originally had Key West, then it was taken away, now they have put it back on the itinerary (just about a week ago). Looks like we will be the only ship in port the day we are there. Will see how it goes!

Unintentional pun.  For those that don't know, Beyond is the third Edge Class ship coming out later this year.

LOL totally unintentional. Future cruises on the brain!

Benny, I have been following this thread and just want to thank you so much for all of the great information! We are booked on the Apex on 2/5 (fingers crossed) and I am beyond excited. So happy that you have had such a fantastic cruise. 

I am currently on board and have heard nothing about it

I saw they were on the Liberty in December. We are sailing on Liberty on 1/17/16; does anyone know if they are still there? Thanks! :)
