Creator's Key Takeaways
Bise City is the tender court. So cruise ships anchor offshore because the water near the coast is shallow and passengers are tendered into the Bise City cruise terminal area by boat.
This is a real security story. And here's the cruise math. Based on the current Bise City cruise schedule between now and early June, while this one-mon emergency period is still expected to be in effect, ships from Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Princess are scheduled to bring roughly 30,000 plus passenger capacity in Bise City.
My advice, watch a cruise line communications, book repeatable excursions, stay with your group, don't decide this is the day you become a bold urban explorer with a tote bag and no cell service.
Carnival caught the issue, cancelled the affected reservations, issued refunds, and offered a $100 onboard credit per stateoom for a future booking made by August 31st, 2026.
