General strike prompts Mein Schiff 7 to cancel Fuerteventura port call
Mein Schiff 7 will miss its Puerto del Rosario stop on 11 November, with the ship’s itinerary changed ahead of Spain’s 24-hour general strike.
Cruise ship Mein Schiff 7 will not call at Puerto del Rosario on Wednesday 11 November after a 24-hour general strike in Spain prompted a change to its itinerary. The ship is expected to spend Wednesday at sea.
Fuerteventura has reportedly been replaced by a stop in Arrecife, Lanzarote, on 10 November. The ship’s Tenerife call was also brought forward to 6 November.
Mein Schiff 7, operated by German cruise line Mein Schiff TUI Cruises, is sailing a week-long Canary Islands and Madeira itinerary from 5 to 12 November, departing from and returning to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The nationwide strike has been called by unions including CCOO, UGT, CGT and CNT. It has also affected another cruise itinerary: MSC Seaview will miss a planned stop in Ibiza and spend 11 November at sea. MSC Cruceros informed passengers of the change in a letter dated 8 November and added a call at Cagliari, Sardinia, on 10 November from 10:00 to 19:00.
