cello56 Posted November 19, 2021 #51 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I wonder if these changes are only for the large Oasis class ships or for smaller ones too? We sail on Jewell in March and have both Antigua and Labadee on our itinerary. Guess we might be going on a very different cruise than we signed up for! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply selling a service of sorts. And anyone telling them to "go****" would be pretty rude. Agree. We've been to St. Kitts many times and have never, ever experienced what @F27TWposted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In old times I agree with you but for the times now and moving forward until I don't know when still have to disagree, book a ship you are happy with, because know one knows if you will even get off the ship no matter where it goes.

Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted November 19, 2021 #54 Share Posted November 19, 2021 just an update about our HOTS cruise in 2 days: RCI added 6 more beach trips on a short notice (2 beaches, 3 departure times each), so we are all set. 🙂 Ufff. A sigh of relief. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can wander freely in San Juan but have to wear a mask if not able to social distance I believe is their rule. Also, I believe you have to show vaccine card if you go to a restaurant or bar. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would never book or not book an itinerary or a ship based on someone's suggestions, recommendations, opinions or experience's, positive or negative. We like all the ships we've been on based on the itineraries we've selected. Win win. Past or present I can only speak only for myself and my wife. We have always and will always book for the itinerary, first. The more ports the better as we aren't huge sea day fans. We do a lot of cruises out of San Juan for that reason. More port intensive cruises. We also don't care how many times we've been to a port(s) as we always find something we enjoyed previously and sometimes something new. Looking forward to our March 2022 B2B Caribbean cruise on the Explorer out of San Juan. Been to all the ports many times.

Many aren't even getting off the ships at the ports from what I have been reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poocher Posted November 20, 2021 #59 Share Posted November 20, 2021 TA notified us St Maarten will be subbed for St John’s on our March HOTS cruise. Never been to either so I’m good. My brother was unfortunately looking forward to St John’s. Oh well, them’s the breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
