What happens if we cannot stop at turks and caicos?

Does Carnival give you an extra day in your previous port? We are scheduled on the Liberty on April 13 and it seems everyday something is happening with Carnival.

 

No - you get an extra day at sea - they have to pay every time they port and cannot just stay over. You will be reimbursed for port fees and taxes and MAY get a small OBC but that is it

You have 24 hours to cancel if they change the itinerary (which sounds like they have).

 

If they miss a port during your cruise, the FAQs say you get the tax back on your port charges, about $10.

 

they may even give you extra OBC .. depends .. lately they have so many complaints you may get extra to keep you happy but they only have to give you the taxes back on your port charges as OBC once onboard.

They never reimburse for port fees which run on average about $50 per port and are embedded in your cruise fare, so more than likely you are unaware of how much they are.

 

the add on taxes and fees are not your port fees.

Most cruise ships don't make this determination until they're underway to that port... so no extra day at your last port. Some cruise lines will try to make a different port ie Nassau for GT if?? they know far enough in advance - but most just make it an extra sea day.

Yup, this has happened twice to us. They handed us flyers as we boarded so so much for the 24 hours.

 

We sure enjoyed our collective 20 dollars though. We spit a DOD!

We are on the same cruise as you!

I am hoping that it is fixed before we set sail.

 

I also hope that they assign a new port and not a sea day if it comes down to it.

picky picky - we have always been reimbursed for port fees and taxes on the port missed and got $25 OBC - taxes and fees on overall bill are different than port fees

I was on Breeze last week and we skipped Grand Turk. We found out on board around dinnertime the night before we were due to dock there, about 26 hours into our cruise after leaving Miami.

 

We were refunded $14/person in port fees to our Sail & Sign Accounts, and spent extra time in Jamaica (Ocho Rios) instead. In addition they gave us free wine the next evening at dinner.
