Anyone been to SRC with 7 ships in port?

Hi. Just wondering how crowded stingray city is with 7 ships in port. I'm not a big fan of crowds, but would love to do it again.

Depends - what time are you planning to go?

If you are not a big fan of crowds, I'd pass. With 7 ! ships in port, there will be more than 30 boats at the stingray sandbar. Unless there is a strong north wind, in which case most of the sting ray trips will be canceled and Georgetown will be a complete ZOO.

So when is the next cruise?

We were there with 7 ships in port. Yea, the stingray sandbar was busy, but we had a blast! Plenty of stingrays for everyone. They weren't that hungry after a while, but love people so much, they just hung around.

We were there last week with at least 7 ships in port. I counted 17 boats at Sting Ray City with perhaps several hundred people. It was depressing. Several years ago we went and had stingrays all around us waiting to be fed. This time, we barely saw a few with all the people and commotion. I think they are going to have to limit the number of boats per hour or something. I can't believe those stingrays can take that kind of abuse for very long.

Thanks for all your advice and answers. I'm just going to skip it this year because it will be way too crowded. I don't even know how they're going to tender everyone it, when I was looking at the website for docking, almost every ship will be arriving at the same time too. Should be an interesting day!!

How do you find out how many ships will be in port? I'll be in GC on May 31...

The Sensation and Imagination will be the only ships in port on the 31st. All info taken from the Cayman Island Port Authority Cruise Ship Schedule. We lucked out too as there are only three ships in port when we are there on June 9th, ours (Voyager), and also the Sensation and Imagination.
