We took a cruise into Falmouth a couple of years ago and did a ship excursion to beach party @ Montego Bay. The staff was great to us and we have alot of fun... Not one negative for us. As we left the port and drove thru Falmouth to get the highway, it did not look like a wealthy community, in my opinion. I sure hope they can fix this.

There were threads here before regarding that. But after some posts, I didn't notice it being repeated anymore.

Although it's not clear how many ships are affected. It says Allure, Celebrity and then says one from Royal Caribbean which is confusing. We're on Oasis in Oct on a b2b and Falmouth is one of our stops. The only reason we like to go there is to buy coffee, but not sure what they'd replace the stop with, especially for Oasis class that has limited port visits due to size.

yes they have pulled out and are working on replacement ports now, more difficult for he big ships cause the port there was paid for my RCCL and made special to accommodate the large ships

We are doing B2B on Liberty in October. No stop in Falmouth?
