Sept 17 - 24 Fiona Infinity Itinerary Changes

[JDPCruisers]

We are on the Oct 1-8 Infinity cruise and due to the damage to the cruise pier in Grand Turk can someone confirm if there was a port change from Grand Turk to Nassau on the current cruise? Also, when is formal night on the current cruise? Any other information on this current cruise due to Fiona would be appreciated.

I'm not on board, but I can tell you that Infinity was in Cozumel yesterday and is in Costa Maya today. Those ports of call replaced Grand Turk and Dominical Republic respectively.

Interested in this as well.  Would not be the best trade off's , but might be no other options.

Agree as having been to those ports a few times, but have not been to Turks or Dominican Republic. At least we’ll be back on a ship, which is always a good thing!  Hopefully, current cruisers will weigh in.

Not much anyone can do... storms have to be avoided and Fiona  packed a wallop..still raging as it heads  way north. Damaged pier can take awhile to be repaired!

And, now Tropical Depression 9 is next. Yes, go with the flow....no pun intended!

In looking the Sept 24th cruise has a different itinerary than that Oct 1st cruise.

[JDPCruisers]

Yes, I believe they alternate weeks between Eastern and Western Caribbean.

Carnival Cruises runs the Grand Turk Cruise Center, and while they have noted the damage, they haven't changed the itinerary on any Carnival ships yet.

We sailed on the Infinity 9/18-9/24.  We were looking forward to DR & Turks & Caicos as we have never been there.  1 hr after embarking we were told those 2 ports were replaced with Cozumel & Costa Maya. We did get to go to Bimini for the 1st time & loved it.  Did the excursion to the public beach, Paradise Beach.  The water color was amazing & the sand in the ocean was like walking on carpeting.....now that may have changed with all the weather churning everything up.

From cruisemapper, Carnival and MSC ships are in DR. None in Turks, so will be interesting if the pier is repaired by this weekend/early next week (I'm holding out slim hope).
