Rare BlerkOne Posted August 8, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Cayman Islands are currently closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 8, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Caymans said closed for the rest of the year .. but I guess they could change their mind. Not a poor island, lots of banking done there. Different than most ports they dont care about cruise money so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WhaleTailFlCruiser Posted August 9, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2021 No, And that isi because the Cayman islands have decided no cruise visits until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were scheduled GC, Jamaica and Cozumel on Horizon….your Western Caribbean will likely become an Eastern Caribbean. Let us know your ship & date in order to help.

pitmindi Posted August 9, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 9, 2021 We are sailing on the same ship the week before. How can we find out about our itinerary. I understand everything could change but we just had to pay our balance so now we’re really in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNJCruisers Posted August 9, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Grand Cayman is not opening till the end of January. Any port substitutions are pure speculation at this point. As your cruise date gets closer, then Carnival will have a better idea where the different port stops stand regarding ship visitation and passenger dispersion. It is in the terms and conditions that Carnival can change the port stops on a given cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BoozinCroozin Posted August 9, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 9, 2021 No, Caymans are closed to cruises until 2022. Carnival has not made itinerary changes because they have no clue where ships will travel to that far out. I suspect Carnival doesn't know where ships will be sailing to in September and expect many itinerary changes. People need to start liking Nassau, Bimini, Amber Cove, and HMC because I think that is going to be a bulk of the eastern Caribbean sailings soon.

Indiansbaseball Posted August 9, 2021 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Carnival is making itinerary changes. They changed 3 out of 4 ports for my October 23, Freedom cruise. But I have to assume they will potentially change again because Curaçao is just as bad as Bonaire !

I am fine with whatever ports we go to. I am just anxious and excited. I want to book excursions. We have 4 ports on a 7 day cruise with 4 adults. That is alot of planning.

Bobbi As explained above, you will not be sailing to Grand Cayman due to the island’s (not Carnival’s) restrictions thru 2021. My best personal guess is you WILL be going to Mahogany Bay, Belize and Cozumel. You MAY either be picking up a Central America port such Progresso or only get 3 ports. My recommendation is to research the 3 ports you are fairly certain won’t be canceled and book excursions there. DON’T book anything at Grand Cayman I hope things go as expected for you. Bring a positive attitude and let things flow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a sea day 2. Add key west 3. Add Costa Maya. If I was to guess I’m thinking #1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbismith Posted August 9, 2021 Author #18 Share Posted August 9, 2021 A sea day is fine, sleeping on a cruise is heavenly. It is the best sleep. Resting, some sun and a book is fine with me. Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLCruiseGal Posted August 9, 2021 #19 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I am perfectly fine with whatever ports — just want to be on a ship. If I don’t like the port, I will stay on the ship and get better use of Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
