Caymans to reopen after March 22? Anyone else see this?

Good news, although we are sailing too soon to take advantage of this.  Maybe next time

I read it and it adds up to not much. Half volume (who gets in???) but as also says the protocols to dock and disembark remain unresolved. When they decide that , then issue a release Caymsns.

Sure, it's a little more reassuring to know when you'll be where and it would be nice to be able to have excursions and dinner plans locked in, but let's face it... that's not in the cards right now.  Those who absolutely cannot get out of compulsive planner mode (my usual modus operandi, but one I've been able to shake off since Covid) may have a more satisfying and relaxing vacation if they plan a vacation doing something other than cruising these days. 

 

After having multiple cruises and timeshare vacations cancelled the last few years, we plan to just relax and enjoy our upcoming "surprise Caribbean cruise" on the Equinox starting on March 25th.  The itinerary has already changed since we booked and we know more changes are coming, but we feel that it's kind of pointless to stress about something over which we have no control and which can change over and over again, right up to the last moment.  So, round and round and round it goes... where it stops, nobody knows!

Well said; I agree 100%

3/10 Apex Cayman stop just replaced with Nassau. Our third visit to Nassau in 6 months. Oh well. Just missed the "reopening" I guess (maybe or maybe not).

3/28 Silhouette ABC cruise no longer has Grand Cayman as a port option for shore excursions- currently showing a sea day, although the purchasing page for the cruise is still showing GC. We'll see if something else gets substituted.

As of today, the Silhouette 3/28 itinerary is replacing Grand Cayman with Bimini but on 4/7 instead of 4/6.

Key West just replaced Grand Cayman on Our 3/7 Constellation cruise.  Anyone know if we dock at Mallory Square or Navy Pier?

Neither. You'll be at Pier B.

Looking at a map. It appears you can walk to town from this pier??

Yes. 😊

Nassau just replaced Grand Cayman on our 3/7 Silhouette cruise (but on day 2 instead of day 3).

An extra sea day just replaced Grand Cayman on the March 12th sailing of the Reflection.

Extra sea day on the Edge March 13th sailing. At one point it was showing Bimini in the excursions, but officially told yesterday it would be a sea day.

Equinox March 25 - Cayman is replaced by Jamaca.

Very jealous of those who got a replacement of Bimini or Key West!  But hope you enjoy.  We are stuck in Nassau....again.  First world problems I know, but I sure would have liked the other two ports much, much better!
