CRUISING71 Posted June 4, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hello, We are planning to book Freedom April 2012, one of the reason was HMC port. I have read that Carnival cancel their HMC in Feb 2012? Will it be cancel for good? For those that have visited HMC and Nachi Cocom...are they the similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be cancel for good? For those that have visited HMC and Nachi Cocom...are they the similar? I believe that one cruise had HMC canceled due to a conflict with a HAL ship. Not surprising as HAL owns the island. I've not heard of any other HMC cancellations... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted June 4, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Nachi Cocum is very nice but not comparable to HMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISING71 Posted June 4, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thank you...I hope to book the Freedom in August 2011 on the Splendor, they won't cancel HMC on us later. I could understand if it cancel due to Mother Nature, but any other reason would be sad. heheheheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun, Fun 44 Posted June 4, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Nachi Cocum nothing like HMC. :) HMC is awesome! Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted June 4, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 4, 2011 In about 15 CCL cruises made it to HMC and it was cut short due to approaching storm. Beautiful island and sure do want to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard of any other HMC cancellations... :) How about the 11/21/2011 Glory or the 02/12/2012 Facination. If any body is interested the 04/15/2012 Liberty stop will also be cancelled. If I can find this why can't Carnival get it straightend out ahead of time. The answer is they want to take reservations with HMC on the itinerary. They will also take your money for cabana reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted June 4, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2011 HMC hands down is nothing like Naci - completely different experiences We have never had our HMC stop delayed or canceled - I think it is very rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow...if they cancel 4/15/2012 for Liberty I wonder if they cancel for the Freedom too since it will be 4/7/2012 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lady Arwen Posted June 4, 2011 #10 Share Posted June 4, 2011 We are on the April 14, 2012 sailing on the Liberty and HMC has been cancelled for that sailing for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa0719 Posted June 4, 2011 #11 Share Posted June 4, 2011 They have also canceled HMC on the 2/4/2012 Liberty due to an HAL conflict with the Maasdam that is going there TWICE on their cruise. The kicker is they still have it listed as the port but if you check you itinerary on Carnival.com it says Nassau. John Heald also confirmed we are not going there. They are also still taking cabana resi's for HMC and haven't refunded those that already booked. We booked this with a group and chose this ship for HMC as we've been to Nassau a ton of time. It's ridiculous the way Carnival has handled this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesleyswimcoach Posted June 4, 2011 #12 Share Posted June 4, 2011 We are looking at the Ectasy next April and only for HMC. I would be very disappointed if it got cancelled because that is the only reason I'm looking at this sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCruisin Posted June 4, 2011 #18 Share Posted June 4, 2011 If there is one thing I have learned cruising it's never book a cruise because you want to go to a specific port....there are too many variables that could make you miss said port and "ruin" a vacation. Remember that mother nature does not care about if you do or dont make port at a scheduled destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familycruzinnewbie Posted June 4, 2011 #19 Share Posted June 4, 2011 We are booked on Liberty for the April 28 which at the moment is scheduled to go to HMC and there are no other ships on the HMC schedule for that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tattoos Posted June 5, 2011 #23 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I believe that HAL cruises to the Caribbean thru April then ships move to New England. So, anything booked on Carnival after May 1st should include a stop at Half Moon Cay if it is listed in the itinerary unless there is a weather emergency.

The answer is they want to take reservations with HMC on the itinerary. They will also take your money for cabana reservations. I was going to post that, too. The cruise date is actually 11-20, not 11-21. We were looking forward to HMC, and probably wouldn't have booked the cruise if Nassau had been on the original itinerary. But HAL is going to HMC that day, so we got bumped to Nassau. Interesting theory about why they're doing this... That's *exactly* why I booked -- it had HMC. Until they changed it.
