Georgetown will be CROWDED

I will be arriving in Georgetown on 06/14/16..it appears there will be 4 cruise ships there that day! I will be on the Empress. I was just planning on catching a taxi and chilling at the beach (2 kids and 2 adults)...now I am worried it will be way too crowded...does anyone have experience with 4 cruise ships there?

that isn't busy.... they sometimes have 8-10 the same day.

Not a big deal! Not everyone does the same thing, at the same time....heck, not everyone even gets off the ship!!! You'll be fine...the ports only allow what they can handle!

Yeah, 4 is a normal day.

Their max count is 9. The port is closed once 9 drop anchor.

I haven't been there yet, but I think when I am there next week they are saying 14,000 ppl in port.

I have been to Nassau and Cozumel with many ships in port and always able to get away from the crowds if you really want to!

I don't think 4 ships will be bad or noticeable at all.

Four ships is a slow day. ;)

Just be sure to remember which tender pier you are using so that you get back on the correct ship!! There are 3 tender piers (all very close to each other). It's pretty simple.

As previously noted, not everyone does the same thing. While lots of people run to Seven Mile Beach, we haven't been there in over 20 years on a land stay. We do other things while in town.

I've been there with 7 ships.

It does get a bit crowded though but that's the Caribbean this time of year.

Only having four ships in port is actually a light day there.

Don't worry and go on with whatever you've planned. :)

One thing we do though is we try to be one of the early ones off the ship and on one of the first tenders.

RCI changed our days so now there will only be us and 1 other ship.

How do you find out how many ships will be in port on a specific day? We will be there 3/2

Thank you!

We are suppose to be there on the 25th but the ship schedule doesn't show the Brilliance of the Seas anytime next week.

Thanks for that site. I checked to see about the day we will be in port. I have been saying that it would be crowded and it looks like I was right. It is the most crowded day, March 23, with 21,452. I wish we were only going to have 15,405. This number is way too many!!!!!

We were there last Wed. the 17th. There were 5 ships there, one of them was the Oasis with 6,000 passengers. Luckily, my husband booked a Stingray City tour through Carnival, so we were able to get away from some of the crowds. Upon return, we tried to walk outside of the port and couldn't even cross the street, due to so many cars and taxis. We walked back in through some of the stores and headed back to the ship. If you can maneuver through the crowds, go for it! We really enjoyed our swim with the Stingrays!
