This itinerary change is not just an adjustment to hours in port. We lost Peru entirely.
Got the news this afternoon. Due to the political unrest in Peru, our three stops in Peru have been canceled. Frankly, it’s not a surprise since we’ve been following the happenings there for a while. Yes, not a surprise, but disappointing … more so for some than for others.
The good news? We got an overnight in a new-to-us port in Ecuador as a replacement. So, from our perspective at least, it is not all bad.
TravelerGiven the current “unrest”, Oceania has made a wise choice to cancel Peru. However, I feel very sorry for those who were booked for Machu Picchu. These days, travellers must be prepared to change plans on a dime.

Two to TravelYes … having been there in better times, we feel their pain.

Two to TravelSo true … these days, making advance plans comes with the caveat of a bigger risk of cancelations.
