Hurricane/Anthem

[sabdel]

I leave for Anthem's 12 day cruise on 12/2 and I've noticed that majority of the islands that Royal is substituting for PR and St. Maarten are already on our itinerary. Where else do you think they would send us if they chose not to send us to PR or St. Maarten? They wouldn't travel all the way up to Mexico and Falmouth, would they?

 

Here is our itinerary:

 

 

Day 4 - Puerto Rico

Day 5 - St. Maarten

Day 6 - Martinque

Day 7 - Barbados

Day 8 - Antigua

Day 9 - St. Kitts

I think St. Croix would be a likely swap for St. Maarten... Maybe Nassau on Day 3 and skip San Juan?

They just put on their website, the amended itineraries. The only island for the 12/2 Anthem to be substituted is St. Thomas in lieu of St. Maarten.

I read a couple of weeks ago that St. Maarten was accepting cruise ships by Nov.11.

Looks like into December now for first SXM port stops:

I read the same thing on another St. Maarten news site.

Thanks so much for the update. My travel agent neglects to keep me informed and I didn't receive that email.

[sabdel]

Still pretty bummed they switched St. Lucia to Martinique :(

[nelblu]

Thanks for the updates.

Just booked this cruise today. Last minute, procrastination decision.

 

While talking to the RC rep and booking she stated St Maartin.

 

I noticed that although it states St Thomas when you go to try and book excursions it is showing St. Maartin options.

 

So, not sure at this point, even with the update itinerary email from RC to people. Either way, either island, doesn't matter, can't wait....
