Rare Redsky5292 Posted May 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2019 My DH was sent an e-mail yesterday that our itinerary for our April 2020 Western Caribbean cruise has been changed. They dropped Cozumel and added Nassau and CocoCay, we are slightly bummed because we picked the itinerary based on the fact that we have been to Nassau twice already and wanted to try something new (I know, I know first world problem, we'll still be on vacation so we are over it already). I'm interested in finding out how many other Caribbean Itinerary's have been changed now that CocoCay is basically fully operational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted May 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I noticed ours was changed too, although we weren’t notified. I’m ok with it, but it would have been nice for them to let me know in case the port that’s cancelled is where we wanted to go. I don’t expect much customer service from them lately, there’s no need, ships are still full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowler15547 Posted May 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 30, 2019 In what universe is Nassau and CocoCay Western Caribbean? I guess they have to pay for the island somehow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I guess they’ll help pay for the island by the fuel saved not going to the “western Caribbean” on their Western Caribbean cruise.😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, we are leaving out of Tampa and were originally scheduled to go to Key West and Cozumel with a sea day in between (so we are losing one sea day). Now we are still going to Key West but they shorted our time there, sailing to Nassau the next day, then sailing to CocoCay and our last day is still a sea day. It's only a five night cruise.

I will cancel if they take Key West away. Are you on Brilliance too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are sailing the Brililance too! We are planning on going either way but it is annoying that they changed the itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted May 30, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I can't get away from Coco Cay on either western or eastern route on Harmony. Used to love going there, but they changed it like they did Labadee....worse actually. If I want theme park experience...I will go to Orlando. Don't need to pay to be on a ship to do that. 😞 Edited May 30, 2019 by island lady 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kag19 Posted May 30, 2019 #11 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Ours already includes CocoCay but we are on an Eastern so makes sense. Not sure what map they are using if Nassau and CocoCay are now on the Western itinerary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can always add a second Perfect Day at Coco Cay to your cruise. 😉 A certain cruise line is already doing that to their private island.

But in actuality...RCI will go out of their way to make the extra $$ for keeping all the $$ you spend at your port of call all to themselves.

nanowerx Posted May 30, 2019 #16 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Bummer. Coco Cay is fine, but I'd literally rather go to ANY other port in the Caribbean over Nassau. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAmome Posted May 30, 2019 #18 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Have the new itineraries been updated on the RCCL website? I was having trouble finding Brilliance going to Coco Cay April 2020 filtering on RCCL and wonder if the websites that update which ships in which port will catch the changes. For those with a recent change to include Coco Cay, any other ship with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyandali Posted May 30, 2019 #19 Share Posted May 30, 2019 To move from Cozumel to Nassau/CocoCay... I mean, that's going East instead of West... huge change... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case and they move to Freeport and CoCo Cay, we will be stuck with two fake "Bahamas-like" experiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1992cruiser Posted May 30, 2019 #25 Share Posted May 30, 2019 On my last cruise to coco cay, there were several crew talking about future 3 night party cruises that stayed at Coco Cay overnight and had two full days there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
