Guess as far as canceling it would depend on if you want to go to the new ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phardiva Posted March 16, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for the reply, we will have to wait to see what happens we are booked at the start of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted March 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It will be a while till they make any calls. It's going to take time to assess the damage and infrastructure. If the port cannot handle it, or requests the line not dock, the line will attempt to reroute or failing that cancel the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I don't think anyone knows the full level of destruction on Vanuatu. If necessary, the cruise line will adjust the itinerary. Adjustments may be made as the cruise goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of updates as there are many of us cruising to the islands, me in a couple of weeks. As most of our cruises go to the islands, I am sure there will be info coming in. Our ports included Vila, Luganville, Champagne Bay and Mystery Island, all in Vanuatu.......as well as Lifou, Isle of Pines and Noumea, who knows where we will we go!! Princess, Royal, Carnival and P&O are still cruising and itinerary's are being adjusted as they go. Friends just disembarked the Carnival Legend and they were loading supplies to take, I am sure all of the ships will be doing the same. you don't mention the date you are cruising, but I wouldn't be cancelling yet:) Chez Edited March 17, 2015 by cheznandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
