We ordered a 2 stop cruise and got only 1 stop. The Bimini stop was cancelled and the Freeport stop was shortened. We did not get what we paid for.

Yup. It's in the cruise contract you agreed to. Itinerary is subject to change on their discretion. IT happens. We missed Princess cay in 2019 cause of weather. Safety for the crew and the passengers is priority

You didn’t order the ports. They are part of the cruise, many times ships have to cancel a port due to different reasons. They do the best they can do. I’m sure you were refunded the port charges as all ships do that.

You don't "order" ports. They are planned, but can change last minute due to many situations. Read your contract, you would know this.

We’ve all missed or had limited time in ports, just part of cruising. Sorry you were disappointed.

You might want to read your cruise contract. The cruise line can change ports and even ships and they owe you nothing. You got what you paid for a 4 night cruise. If you were worried about missing a port you should have bought insurance.
