Has this happened to you?

We got an email (like others did) that the departure time on our Dream cruise had changed.  So I decided to just look at the port times on our cruises.  Noticed that one of our port times had changed on our cruise 3 months out.  Never had that happen before.  I guess that is something to watch for especially if you are not booking an excursion through Carnival which we are not.  Luckily, we have not booked our excursion yet.

Yes, it's happened. I am told it is becoming more common. However, the reasons given vary.

Yes it's happened to us as well. As far as non-Carnival excursions, those providers in the ports will know (should know) about the itinerary change and adjust accordingly.

Yes this has happened to us. In fact, we had a port change (rather a day change) same port different day. This port had a brewery which I was looking forward to, and when we got there the brewery was CLOSED . Furthermore, a lot of things were closed in this port? We later found out from a local bar which was open that told us this ship was scheduled to come tomorrow not today, so the locals were not ready for us . This was Alaska and the end of the season and the cruise line never informed Sitka of the change.

We had it happen twice on future bookings in the past 6 months, also one port switch. Is what it is.

It's pretty common. We received an email our departure time at Cape Canaveral moved up 1/2.  Our cruise was still 9 months out when we received it.

I got an email a few weeks ago that they changed the times for 2 of the ports on my upcoming cruise. A little annoying, but not much you can do about it. 

[Joebucks]

I had that once. Truth be told, I'm glad I was told far in advance rather than a day or two before. I'm not here to dwell on things I can complain about. I'm here to make the best of what I have.

We got the same email.  That just means faster to the fun!!
