Questions about current cococay services??

[creel5857]

We will be on vision of the seas in early January visiting cococay.  We have been reading about the 200 million upgrade.  I kept looking for recent comments on current level of services, tender details, if food/buffet is included at no costs???  Can anyone share some details?   Appreciate it very much.

Fairly norm as l in November.  Tenders as usual, food included, services up and running.  Construction is fenced off

They probably won't be done with the upgrades until mid 2019.  Tenders run continuously.

I was really hoping they would have it done by May 20th sailing for us. But construction ALWAYS takes longer than they plan, especially in the Bahamas....

We are there in late January, hoping the pier is open by then.

Thanks for letting us know things at this point are still the way they were.

Our older daughter's family will be having a port stop in Cococay on their AnthemOTS Christmas cruise so they were wondering.

Considering the state of the massive upgrades last August, I will be surprised if they are up and running in 2019 at all.

 

The pier was coming along, slowly.  Considering they were setting pylons in Aug 2017.

Mid November.

It looks the pier is coming along, but I don't see any sign of structures being built on the island.  Just dirt moving (which is a BIG part of the job).

At least in Sept 18. they were screening that off fairly nicely with a jungle type screen.   I hope the OP going in January gets some updated pics. Some of these new features will be too big to hide behind 6 ft fences.

I was there in August, and from the ship could see over the barriers.  No work on structures, not even foundations, that I could see.

 

As I said, just dirty moving.

 

And I have worked on various construction projects.
