I think you'll find that it was the Cheifs of the Islands that said no to visiting. Nothing to do with the captain or RCI.

Glad for the itinerary Change. Couldnt be helped, The Small islands of the South Pacific couldnt cope with any Coronavirus victims. Too many people carrying on about it on board, All I say is, get over it. They could have got off the Ship before it sailed. Well Done Voyager on the situation

Wow...I believe that I'd rather not stop at a port where the Coronavirus might be detected. Thankfully, the captain thought along the same lines. Given the decision not to visit these ports, I'd like to think the OP might be grateful instead of complaining.

I’d rather be disappointed at an itinerary change than disappointed in have a virus or being Quarantined

Yes intineray can change at anytime time for many reason. Be it weather or health reasons they want it to be a safe cruise.

Every ship states the itinerary can change at short notice for all sorts of reasons. It's always a risk coz weather & illness is unpredictable unfortunately. No ship or cruise line can guarantee an itinerary.

Good Cruise, wouldn’t take it again.

Absolutely fabulous

Not a great cruise due to ports rejecting the ship due to coronavirus threat
