Joken35 Posted September 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2017 just check the eastern Caribbean cruise we are on .It has officially been changed to western Carib. SEpt 30, Oct 14 and oct3o. We also gain one more port. BEtter than losing one just to stay on the East. while I am not thrilled with Jamacia . IT is better than Freeport. As long as I am not home..... I am happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genovesemylove Posted September 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2017 We are on the same sailing as you. We are happy with the change. Never been to Costa Maya or Montego Bay. Just waiting on the updated itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel57 Posted September 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Been to both of these ports many times. Don't get excited. They aren't great ports. Montego Bay is not nice and can be dicey. Take a tour. Much safer. Costa Maya is okay but not exciting. Stop built for cruise passengers. Overpriced stores, Margaritaville and pool. Beach at port is lousy. You can leave compound and go to another beach. Antigua has over 300 gorgeous beaches. Sorry we are going to miss these. However, I am still looking forward to spending another 15 glorious days on the Divina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted September 25, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2017 What happened to Antigua? Someone posted divina was headed there and that was a huge point for MSC in my book! This change is kinda yuck:(. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joken35 Posted September 26, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Seem like they are shifting all cruises to the western Carib. For the time being. I Was also looking forward to Antigua . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted September 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Personally I'd rather do Antigua and a few sea days If they couldn't squeeze in another leeward. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm happy to be open minded about ports, but definitely don't want extra sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently many others felt that way as well. I think there were a lot of cancellations as the ship was definitely not full. I left early for Miami and did not see MSC was allowing future credit for cancellations, although I probably would not have cancelled due to booked flights and hotels. I posted the dailies from this itinerary here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
