Itinerary change - Fantasy 9/9/23

[Tee & Chilli]

We have been closely monitoring Tropical Storm Lee, which is currently moving through the Atlantic Ocean and is predicted to become a hurricane later this week. Based on the storm’s current forecast track, Bermuda and the seas around Bermuda will be potentially impacted over the next week and a half, making it unsuitable for cruise travel. As a result, we have made modifications to the itinerary that bypass Bermuda, but adds Cozumel, Mexico, and George Town, Grand Cayman, as well as a second visit to Castaway Cay.        The revised itinerary is below:  Saturday, September 9     Port Canaveral, Florida   Sunday, September 10      Day at Sea   Monday, September 11     Cozumel, Mexico (previously Day at Sea)   Tuesday, September 12     George Town, Grand Cayman (previously Bermuda)   Wednesday, September 13   Day at Sea (previously Bermuda)   Thursday, September 14       Disney Castaway Cay (previously Day at Sea)   Friday, September 15            Disney Castaway Cay   Saturday, September 16        Nassau, The Bahamas   Sunday, September 17          Port Canaveral, Florida

No Bermuda due to Tropical Storm Lee

Another development ….

 

Yesterday evening, the Disney Fantasy experienced a technical issue with the propulsion system that is causing the ship to sail at a reduced rate of speed. There is no impact on the maneuverability of the ship, or on the safety of our Guests and Crew.

 

Until the ship arrives to Port Canaveral and repairs can be completed, we are uncertain if there will be additional impacts to your itinerary. We will provide you an update as soon as we can, but that may not be until after you board the ship tomorrow.

We are sailing on the 9/23 Fantasy cruise to Puerto Rico and St Maarten; very interested to see what comes of these "technical issues". Please keep us posted...

Just got off the ship this morning and the rumors floating around the port was 2 days in port for repair. Guess we’ll hear soon.

The delay in departure is very likely.  The ship is still at the dock and was scheduled to leave an hour ago.

Fantasy left port around 4:45pm today from what I read.

 

We were on last week and they had propulsion problems so we had to go slower and missed Castaway Cay. IMHO we were compensated more than fairly.
