I have been officially informed by the Carnival Cruise Line that the Carnival Victory will no longer be stopping in the port of Dominica during her Southern Caribbean cruise. The Carnival Cruise Line has discontinued its visit to Dominica with effect from November 21, 2010. The ship’s itinerary has been amended and a day at sea will replace the time allocated for the island stop.
Carnival cruise line is one of numerous cruise lines that provide Caribbean cruise deals to Dominica. Several persons who cruise from Florida to the Southern caribbean will no longer enjoy the Nature Island of the Caribbean.
No explanation was provided for the change in the ship’s itinerary. The original itinerary was very impressive with a port stop on each day of the cruise. In fact some customers purchased that cruise because they expected a port stop each day of the cruise and in particular the stop in Dominica. A number of individuals were considering withdrawing from the cruise and visit the Southern Caribbean with a different cruise line. I had to use all my persuasive skills to get them to reconsider.
I have been monitoring the national radio station of the island in an effort to find answers for my clients because they are disappointed with the new itinerary. In an announcement from the radio station, a government official said they were looking into the matter and would do their utmost best to have Carnival Cruise Line return to the island. The official claimed that the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), had a similar problem in the past with fuel cost and discontinued it service, but he was happy to report that cruises from Florida would include the NCL in the new future.
The Carnival Cruise Line has served Dominica during the past 21 years and is an integral part of the island growing tourism industry. It has also provided numerous Caribbean cruise deals to the region and it is hoped that the problem will be resolve soon so the Carnival victory can return to the island of Dominica.
