timbom Posted July 15, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Anyone heard of what port they will replace for Grand Cayman on its 2021 cruises now that the island has announced it will not accept cruise lines till January 27 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted July 15, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Haven't heard but I would speculate it means more Cozumel, Belize, Honduras cruises and they just won't go to Jamaica without a place to stop along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominichunter Posted July 15, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) The Cayman Islands is finally reopening for tourism – with a multi-phased plan. Most notably, beginning in mid-October, vaccinated travelers will be able to visit Cayman without quarantine. Maybe travel there but not cruise ships?

cmukid87 Posted July 15, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Following this story semi-closely. We are sailing in April 2022 with GC on the itinerary. I'll be interested to see if they can substitute or if they will rework the entire itinerary. We are in Jamaica, GC, Cozumel in consecutive days in that order. There isn't enough time to get from Jamaica to another port in one day and still have Cozumel the following day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemjam Posted July 15, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2021 JH keeps getting asked about this on his page and he keeps saying they are working on it and will let us know as soon as possible. I imagine if Grand Caymen is out Jamaica too so we will end up in some other closer ports. Oh well, I guess. Any day cruising is better than a day at work!

Love being Mimi Posted July 15, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I have a B2B In Oct, with GC, Jamaica the 1st. Belize the 2nd. Nothing has been said to us. You would think they would say something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsnikel Posted July 15, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Cayman stated no cruise ships until January 2022. I suspect Cozumel and Jamaica will be strong options for substitution. Jamaica is the closest port - but not a good choice, in my opinion. Roatan would be excellent, but that depends on the other ports of a ships itinerary.

Fun Loving Posted September 27, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I am on the Celebrity Edge Thanksgiving Cruise. I've been reading about Grand Cayman not accepting cruises until 2022. I have called Celebrity twice and they have said it's still on the itinerary. I'm not sure why they would continue to say this when clearly they are not permitted to go there. I've heard about Costa Maya as a replacement for other cruises, but Costa Maya is already one of our stops. If anyone has any clue what Celebrity may do, thanks for that info.

Per the Government's website: News Updated COVID-19 Regulations Published: February 17, 2022 Minister for Tourism and Transport underscored: "The recent meeting with cruise tourism officials was fruitful and the cruise tourism sector in the Cayman Islands should get ready for “an exciting announcement next week”.
