I have no idea why they did this and they should have provided you an explanation. I would be disappointed too. There is a lot of Nassau bashing out there, but I kind of like Nassau. I've been there 3 times on cruises and I've always had a good time. Oh sure, the people that are trying to sell you stuff as you leave the gated terminal can be a bit much, but I smile say "hello" or "good morning" and continue on my way. I've been there twice at the first of the year and "Happy New Year" seems to work well.So I just got an email this morning that our December 2, 2019 cruise that it won't be stopping at Nassau, Bahamas and we're getting a day at sea instead. It was definitely unexpected because the cruise is so far away and I'm also disappointed as I was kind of looking forward to exploring Nassau for the first time, and was partially the reason as to why we booked this specific cruise. They didn't give any reason as to why they cancelled that port and when I called they didn't have a reason either. Does this happen often? I know in the contract it says they can make itinerary changes at any time, but it kind of sucks when you've booked this so far in advance with Nassau in mind and it gets changed like that without any sort of compensation for it. I'm frankly just confused if I should just stick to this cruise or pay $200 more to switch to another cruise with the risk of Nassau being cancelled on that one as well. I don't know if we'll be able to keep busy for both days we'll be at sea, but then again, I've never been on a cruise before. Hope you can all provide some insight.
Please let us know if you find out a reason for the change of plans, and I hope you have a magical cruise!
