satxdiver Posted September 30, 2021 #26 Share Posted September 30, 2021 We are on the Vista in November originally scheduled for Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Reading this thread made me wonder about our cruise. I just checked and our schedule and now is Mahogany Bay, Belize and Cozumel. Sure glad Carnival was big enough to notify us of the change. 😒 No big deal since we have never left the ship in Jamaica staying onboard enjoying the solitude but did want to visit Grand Cayman. We have been to all the ports many times and just like to wander around either in the port area or on the island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happy, but understand Carnival has little choice. Just glad to be cruising again. Bimini, to me would be a bummer but we love HMC and I’m good with GT. I’m just happy to be going in two weeks. I’ll go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe rcl is wrong. Read it if you want ... people arent happy with more costa maya especially. In place of jamaica.

Rcl could be wrong and you right .. who knows. Do you wanna believe an article with a quote from the Minister of Tourism of the Caymans that I forwarded or believe RCI? I'm supposed to go there the first week of January on the Apex and they have not contacted us with a port change yet. I personally couldn't care one way or another. When I will be cruising on the Apex, Mardi Gras, Discovery Princess and Prima in 2022, I will be more concerned about the ship than the port stops, with the exception of San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Barbara on the California Coastal on the Discovery.

cruisinpips Posted October 2, 2021 #32 Share Posted October 2, 2021 We are scheduled for March. We have someone we use for excursions that lives in Cayman. My wife has been communicating with her, and she is saying it will likely be the first of March before cruise ships are allowed back….FWIW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a bonus, all three ports are tender ports. 😁 🏴☠️ 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have cruised the Caribbean 30 times over the past 35 years, I have been to most of the ports so the ship is a higher priority for me that's why I'm booked on the Apex, Prima, Mardi Gras and Celebration on my next 10 Caribbean cruises.
