Spin-off Thread: How many port stops have you missed while cruising......

What are your missed ports?

We've had really good luck. 29 cruises (various cruise lines) and only one of them had missed ports.

Both ports were on our Voyage of the Vikings, on Holland America:
Paamiut, Greenland - port blocked by ice.
St. Johns, Newfoundland - diverted to Corner Brook, Newfoundland ( which we had visited earlier in the cruise, other side of island) due to Hurricane Ernesto.

11 cruises on DCL and the only port we have missed was Boston during the 2019 DVC member cruise. We left Bermuda but had to stay far south of the northeast as there was a huge storm the captain had to try and avoid. The seas were still quite rough but we made it back to NYC on time.

31 Disney Cruises...

Castaway Cay became Nassau (Feb 2015)
Cozumel became a sea day (Aug 2017)
St Maarten became San Juan ((Aug 2014)

Twice we had to switch our sea day and CC day but we made it both those times, just a day late. (Aug 2011 and Dec 2010)

We had Castaway Cay switched to Nassau due to Hurricane Irene (August 2011) and had St. Maarten switched to San Juan due to potential weather issues (August 2014).

Looks like we were on the same Fantasy cruise in 2014.

Out of 18 cruises on NCL we missed two of our Iceland stops because of the weather. I could fully appreciate that the missed ports were truly weather-related. When we left Reykjavik the seas were the worst I've ever experienced. My daughter even hurt her knee when she fell during a wave.

The only other time was Jamica on DCL. It became a sea day.

30 cruises and missed Castaway Cay due to wind once. On our 2015 Eastbound transatlantic we missed St Johns Newfoundland and Reykjavik Iceland due to the icebergs being too far south. Disney cruise line blog link below.

We’ve missed castaway once (on our first DCL cruise) due to a hurricane, so we knew on embarkation day and the ship rerouted around the storm. We missed Bermuda on Princess years ago because winds made it unsafe to dock which was very disappointing.
