cruiseapril Posted March 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi- Wondering how often a ship misses Grand Cayman due to waves? If RCI does miss GC- do they ever overnight in Cozumel? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Tyler Posted March 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) I'm 3 for 3 in Grand Cayman, never missed it. Twice in January, once in April if that helps. Edited March 28, 2014 by Canadian Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishgal432 Posted March 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We missed it on our Thanksgiving cruise, however seas were so fough for three days the outside decks on Freedom were closed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted March 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Never missed it. Doubt very much that you would spend extra time in Cozumel as the berths are booked long in advance. It would be an extra sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted March 28, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We missed it just once, out of perhaps 15 times. Coco Cay - well that is another story! In all our experiences, if a port is missed, we had a sea day. good luck M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted March 28, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) We're batting .500 on GC: one hit one miss. As to overnighting in Coz (or anywhere else on that itin), I'm guessing that staying overnight is not allowed especially if the berth space is needed for other arriving ships. I know that some itin's allow overnighting in Cabo but I believe the ship has to actually leave the harbor area and then return. I think ships also overnight in Bermuda.

comxkid Posted March 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We were able to port 3 out of 3 times; all in March. But I will say that March is typically, the driest month of the year for Grand Cayman, i.e. fewest rain storms. The wettest months are October, June, September, August, and November in order.

Rare BillOh Posted March 28, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) I dont know but ive been there twice and never missed it yet. *knock on wood* I'm planning to go back next year so this caught my eye. I'm 1 for 1 here. We almost missed Costa Maya because of rough seas and that is a dock! Edited March 28, 2014 by BillOh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Jacquelyn Posted March 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We have successfully been to Cayman 3 times, and missed it about 4 or 5 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villauk Posted March 28, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We have successfully been to Cayman 3 times, and missed it about 4 or 5 times. What months did you miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroozDoggie Posted March 28, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm five for five in Grand Cayman. Missed Costa Maya once. One for one in Coco Cay. Be there in a few weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed. Didn't know it was so hit and miss. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lah66 Posted March 28, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We have cruised 11 times and the one time our cruise was to port in Grand Cayman the winds were so bad that we had an extra sea day. So we have yet to see Grand Cayman...so we are 0 for 1! Maybe next time... Lauri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shekim Posted March 28, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We had to tender from the opposite side of the island one time and we missed our excursion. That was in February and we also missed Jamaica. We waved as we sailed by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_in_BC Posted March 29, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 29, 2014 We missed it on our Thanksgiving cruise, however seas were so fough for three days the outside decks on Freedom were closed as well. We were on that one as well. It was too bad. Had big plans for the day. Will have to try again someday I guess. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnel Posted March 29, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It may depend of the ship you're sailing with. Last year on Navigator we stopped in Grand Cayman and there were supposed to be two other ships there, but due to hard winds and rough seas they could not stop there. I felt it was strange as it was not too windy. It looked like this. /Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinola Posted March 29, 2014 #20 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I missed it once on a ten day cruise. I don't remember the month, but it is just a regular sea day if they can't dock. I'm trying again this September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted March 29, 2014 #21 Share Posted March 29, 2014 5 for 5, and various times during the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMary Posted March 29, 2014 #22 Share Posted March 29, 2014 We are 0 for 2. January and March if I'm remembering right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean_Waves Posted March 29, 2014 #23 Share Posted March 29, 2014 We missed it once. It was in September, but we were able to maKe the next day (was supposed to be a sea day) a port day at Costa Maya (Where we weren't supposed to go on the itinerary). That was with Carnival though. So we just made Grand Cayman a sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 29, 2014 #24 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi- Wondering how often a ship misses Grand Cayman due to waves?If RCI does miss GC- do they ever overnight in Cozumel? Thanks No .... When you miss GC there is no overnight in Cozumel ... just another At Sea day. LuLu ~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 29, 2014 #25 Share Posted March 29, 2014 What months did you miss it? In the January/February time frame which is normally smooth seas in most of the Caribbean, seems not so much for Grand Cayman. Over the years we have missed GC about 40% of the time. A long time ago they tendered us over when they really should not have and had one heck of a time getting us back to the ship. When you miss it. Be glad it was cancelled. ;) LuLu ~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
