Jfeasel Posted June 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Is there a way to tell if another RCI ship will be at CocoCay the same day your ship will be there? We are sailing on the Enchantment July 28-Aug 1 and will be there July 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCCRUISEGIRL Posted June 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm on the July 25-Aug1 sailing of Grandeur and my itinerary states that we will be in Coco Cay on Monday, July 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the RCI website your itinerary has you in Nassau on Monday, 7/28 and CocoCay on Tuesday, 7/29 (along with Enchantment) which agrees with this schedule shown on this thread for CocoCay.

Ourusualbeach Posted June 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm on the July 25-Aug1 sailing of Grandeur and my itinerary states that we will be in Coco Cay on Monday, July 28th. That's interesting. I am seeing that you are there on the 28'th as well. The port site must be mistaken. It looks like you are there with the Freedom unless they have switched the dates around without updating the website. They may have done this to put 2 ships with a lower passenger count together on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCCRUISEGIRL Posted June 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2014 This is weird, I looked again at the itinerary that my TA sent me and the itinerary from My Cruises on Royal the Royal website....they conflict with one another. I'm going to go with Royal's version so, yes, according to Royal, we'll be in Coco Cay on the 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think your TA transposed the days as the RCI website is showing the itinerary with CocoCay on the 29th which is the standard order for that itinerary. Either way as indicated you will see CocoCay and will have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookedhalo Posted June 21, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Or when you actually booked the trip, that was the port order and has since been changed. The confirmation your TA sent you would have shown the old port order:). I've had a few trips where the order has changed after booking and my original invoice shows original itin;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say you have a much much better chance of making CoCo Cay in Summer month than winter months. I'm basing my statement on many cruise in the Bahamas on private vessels. Please show your the basis for your claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 21, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Of course, at the end of July there's a 50/50 chance that all you'll get to do is see Coco Cay ;) Maybe we've just been lucky, but we have made it to Coco Cay better than 80% of the time.

Rare CruisinCrow Posted June 21, 2014 #19 Share Posted June 21, 2014 We've only missed it once (in 6 tries). Hoping to get there in 2 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted June 21, 2014 #20 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Been there 3 out of 4 cruises. The miss was in the early fall. Edited June 21, 2014 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted June 21, 2014 #21 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Our first visit is scheduled for Mid-late July. I hope we have better than 50/50 odds. We have missed other private islands on other ships; sometimes other passengers (maybe newbies) get cranky. between the good things I have read about relaxing days on Coco Cay and the wish to avoid grumpy fellow guests, I really hope we make it.

I'm sure you will. The only times this port of call would be missed would be if the weather or sea conditions prohibit the safe operation of the tenders. The odds are certainly more than the 50/50 mentioned in the thread that you will be able to make CocoCay - our 75%, clarea's 80%+, and CrusinCrow's 83%+ actual experience would support that. :) Edited June 21, 2014 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to unsafe tendering conditions, we missed NCL's private island the first three times it was on our itinerary, and made it the fourth time. We want better luck with Coco Cay.

cruisegirl1 Posted June 21, 2014 #25 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Just a bit of advise. We were in Coco Cay a few weeks ago along with the Majesty. By 11 AM, the island became quite crowded. The second food area was open. From what we observed, ( we arrived about 9:30 and had our choice of seating), those who arrived after 11 had a difficult time getting loungers. We saw groups of 4-6 and more just waking in circles looking for chairs. There were scattered chairs here and there, but if you have more than 2 traveling together and want to sit together on Coco Cay, don't sleep in. We always consider ourselves lucky when we make it to Coco Cay. I've never kept track of the hits and misses, or even what time of year we have success. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
