Tortola and St Marten were hit very hard and are still in the process of getting the ports and tourist shopping up and running with a hope that cruise ships will be able to return this month. The repairs to the rest of the islands will take a lot longer. If they can cope with a influx of tourist, that will be good as they need our spending.
Just love the Caribbean people, so laid back and friendly.
will p&o go?

Re: will p&o go?
Seems a bit early for them to be replacing St Maarten and Tortola in March next year, not much chance we will be visiting Tortola on our Ventura cruise in Feb if they are already changing March.

Strange they haven't notified you for February but they have sent that through to my pal for March
Perhaps Ventura is going to Azamara too ?!

But if Britannia is not calling at St M and Tortola, the odds are that the others won't either ?

Aurora is supposed to be calling at St. Maarten on 25 February, not heard anything yet. There was an announcement on the main P&O site that I saw a couple of days ago saying that all Caribbean calls should be fine by January - looks as if that's not so.

I don't think many of us believe a word that P&O utter at the moment, Carole !

Re: will p&o go?
Being able to get into these two ports is hardy in the hands of P&O.
Our itinerary for N801 has just been released and we have Martinique and Guadeloupe instead. So we will need some Euros.

Martinique and Guadeloupe sounds good - maybe they will add those to the regular itineraries

Re: will p&o go?
We're going on Azura 10th Feb and the changes are Guadeloupe and Amber Cove instead of St Maarten & Tortola.
We're happy enough with that as we've been to St Maarten & Tortola Lots of times, whereas the alternatives will be new for us. All in we shall have three new ports (for us) as we choose this one because it was going to Martinique.
Mind you the cruise personaliser is useless today!! (again) Believe it or not they're having problems try again later
