GLCAS Posted November 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2005 :confused:Anyone know why we are 2 hours less in Costa Rica now. We are on the Legend Jan 20, 06. We leave at 3:00 instead of 5:00:(:( This is the country we were looking forward to the most. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemahaff Posted November 13, 2005 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I noticed this for our 12/19 cruise on the Legend. I wonder how this effects shore excursions with private tour operators, especially the combo tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMP1973 Posted November 14, 2005 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Carnival did this to us on our cruise on Nov1-9th. I wasn't impressed either. I wasn't given an explaination on it either. At the time I assumed it was weather related with storms and all. However, we ended up having a wonderful time in Costa Rica and I am seriously considering travelling there as a separate trip........absolutely beautiful!

PaulnKarl Posted November 17, 2005 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I noticed this week that Carnival have drastically cut their list of shore excursions for Costa Rica. I written and asked for an explanation, but in the meantime, anyone know why. We're sailing 1/21 on the Liberty with a group of 20. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jilly08 Posted November 18, 2005 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2005 They did the exact same thing to us when we were on the Legend last January. I never did get a reason why---no weather issues that could be blamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulnKarl Posted November 19, 2005 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I spoke with Carnival yesterday about the reduction in shore excursions. According to their cruise consulant, the excursions are limited to what their contractors are willing to offer. This varies according to time of arrival and the number of ships in port. We're in Limon on 1/25 on the Liberty arriving at noon. The previous day the Legend is in at 7.00 am and the following day the Galaxy, Costa Allegra and Seaborn Legend are all in port. As an alternative, I have contacted Greenways (my friend Mario) who are willing to tailor all excursions, with the exception of the Aerial Tram, to suit the times in port. We're with a group of 20 so we're also talking with Charlie Soto. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
