HAL kicking Carnival off HMC?

[agc291]

We are looking to book the Eastern Itinerary for the Liberty in May which includes a stop in HMC. I have seen on here where sometimes HAL will use the island and the Carnival ship is SOL. What is the likelihood that will happen? Do they sent you to Nassau if that happens? Or is it another day at sea?

The Island is owned by Holland America so they get first use.

Nassau is the back up plan.

Checked the schedule and it seems they do not have any itineraries during that time. Thanks you were very helpful!

As Oceanlover says, most of the HAL ships are gone from the Caribbean by May. I suspect that if the schedule says HMC, they'll at least be trying to dock at HMC. It's a tender port; landings are not guaranteed!

 

Incidentally, I notced on cruisett that P&O will be using HMC for 2 days in March. Does anyone know if that has ever happened before? I'd have thought they'd use Princess Cays.
