"LIVE" Emerald Princess, Feb 27th to March 13th, 14 Day Caribbean

[LACruiser88]

We are currently onboard and looking forward to the next leg of our back-to-back!

[Reina del Mar]

Interested to know whether there has been any whisper of any of the ports on 27th Feb cruise being closed to cruise passengers.

 

Many thanks.

It sounds like some people who had excursions booked in Trinidad have found them cancelled without explanation.  It looks like T&T are not yet allowing ships.

Thank you. I wouldn’t mind just sea days, husband not so keen!

Is there any USB ports in the rooms

I noticed that a few destinations are no longer “clickable” on the travel itinerary. Martinique, St. Vincent and Trinidad, Tobago. I also can’t find our prepaid excursions listed anywhere.

We are on the April 2 version of this cruise. Last night, our itinerary blanked out Martinique, St. Vincent, and Trinidad. Our previously booked ship tours in those 3 places disappeared. No notification from Princess as to what is going on.

We do not have any USB ports in our cabin.  However, there are plenty of electrical outlets.  The TV's are now wall-mounted, leaving unused outlets where the TV's were on cabinets.

That’s interesting-wonder if they are planning extra sea days or negotiating different ports.

I did a check of 2 of the islands port schedules.  We e are still listed as arriving.

Just checked with my TA and she says she has had no notice of itinerary changes. 

[Reina del Mar]

Sadly TAs are not always the first to receive such information !

Trinidad no longer shows up on our itinerary. Day at sea.

Many changes!

 Thank you for the update!!! 

 

We are currently sailing on Emerald, asked about changes and knew there would be some for the 27 Feb leg. However, lol, sorta been distracted by staying in the moment and forgot to check back on the 27 Feb itinerary (relaxing lol).  

 

We'll update our calendar and make necessary changes.  Again, thanks for posting the new itinerary  🙂

[pd7277]

Will be on the April 2 itinerary also.  Interested in how each of the islands are handled excursions if anyone has time to provide information.

 

TIA

 

Wishing you all a wonderful cruise!

Today is last day of our Panama Canal cruise.  Tomorrow turn-around day in Ft Lauderdale.

[LACruiser88]

This morning we received our In-Transit information letter.  We also have to pickup a new Medallion this afternoon at the Guest Services Desk.

[LACruiser88]

We have bad news.  We had our covid test this afternoon for our back-to-back cruise.  I tested positive, rapid and PCR tests.  The wife was negative.  Neither of us have any symptoms.

 

We are being taken off the ship tomorrow morning in Ft Lauderdale and will isolate for 5 days at a hotel.

 

Princess will provide the transportation and they have made the hotel reservations.

 

Have a great cruise!   ☹️

So sorry to hear this. You have a great attitude though! I Princess also taking care of transportation back to your home earlier than you had planned? Or, are you going to hang out in Florida until you can use your previously arranged travel?

Two things I have not seen before.

 

1. Needing a new Medallion for the next segment. In the past the same Medallion could be used.

 

2. The group that stays on board disembarking as a group not being allowed back on as soon as the ship has been cleared.
