Anyone know why explorer went to St Thomas before St Maarten this cruise?

I noticed it on the webcam yesterday and thought it was interesting. I thought their itinerary was St Maarten on Tue and St Thomas on Wed???

The Explorer is doing an eight day cruise this week to get its embarkation day to sundays now instead of saturdays. I'm guessing they're doing this because the voyager is now sailing from NY, NY.

[img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]We sail May 30th, I hope the Explorer doesn't change islands on this week, a friend is getting married on St. Thomas on the 3rd, I don't think she would be very happy with a change of plans. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Planning weddings for a certain port when you are cruising is a VERY RISKY business. Happy or not, the cruiselines have a right to change itinerary without prior notice to passengers.
