What happens when they do that?? I assume that people don't get money back who had already booked for more money?

I may be a bit off but it looks like the inside bottom deck steerage crowd was offered a free upgrade to inside upper decks or a refund to near the new price. Didntt look like anyone else got a fresh discount which would erk me off if i were a loyal balcony buyer.
Again may be wrong,maybe everybody is getting a refund to new lower prices.
Seems fair to me or better get a free drink package per person.

I was trying to figure out what the deal was on Roatan. Is that some kind of a private island thing? There's no info on there at all. Itinerary is weird, two private islands (I think), Jamaica, which I don't care for on a ship, and Cozumel, which is OK. No French islands at all. It's hard to take a big ship anywhere that everyone wants to do the same thing.

Roatan is an island and Mahogany abay is carnival’s company port.
This one has a decent beach but not much other than company excursions to do here.
We generally dont like “fake” cruise line managed ports where you cant just walk off into the normal economy. Out islands are the execption.
Unfortunately, they would have to drop this cruise to about $50/pp/day to overcome the itinerary and ship which are both duds in our opinion.

Yes, cruise line out islands are not normally an optimal situation, but for nude cruises, at least you can be nude there without any issues, as compared to all the other islands on the itinerary.

As Carol said, it would be hard to change the itinerary, so I'm guessing lowering the price might be the only thing to do just to fill the cabins. Even if people book at a reduced rate, it would be better than the ship cruise with an empty cabin. We Cruise several times a year, but have never done the Bare Necessities Nude Cruise. If the price drops low enough, we would be interested. The current price is too high, almost double what we usually pay to cruise. We just booked an 11 day Cruise on NCL out of New Orleans for less than $1900 total for the both of us, and that includes the Ultimate Beverage Package, and all gratuities pre-paid by the Travel Agent. At the risk of repeating myself, why a nude cruise would not schedule a stop at St.Martin is beyond me.

Historically BN cruises have very rarely stopped on SXM because it is too many people for Club O to handle. I remember one in the past few years that did stop on SXM when we were on island. The Club O beach that day was out of control. BEFORE Irma, there just weren't enough chairs for people and Papagayo and the Perch couldn't handle the food load. Now, with only the Perch Lite, and as of now, almost nothing else open on Orient either, there's NO WAY that they could handle a big ship. Maybe, just maybe, a small ship like Star Clipper or something. But unless the ship provided food, which I don't know how they could legally do that, it just can't happen right now. And Papagayo isn't scheduled to reopen until sometime next year, so even by when this cruise is scheduled to go, Papagayo wouldn't be open.

No reason to get that elaborate. Just have a rule that chairs must be occupied and if unoccupied for 30 minutes or an hour, towels, etc will be removed..

Unfortunately, despite pleas from countless customers, it appears BN is deaf to this issue and the impact it has on the cruise experience.
Boat is almost half empty with less than 6 months to sail date.
