Docking At Ocean Cay

[KennyFla]

Our last cruise was Oct 2021, I haven't been on the boards for a while.  Are there still issues docking at Ocean Cay because of winds, or has MSC fixed that crazy docking maneuver they do?

Other than one recent poster who said they missed it twice, I've seen little here on CC about it being missed. Now NCL at GSC who tenders, that gets missed quite a bit.

Twice last week we made it in on Seascape. The ship backed in assisted by the Ocean Cay tug.

It’s a windy day today and we just docked.

Another OC question- can you see the light show from the ship and if so, is there a regular side?

Starboard.    I’m looking at it now from my balcony.

That’s an improvement.  Last time they would pull in forwards and try to do a zero point 360 degree turn and then dock. 
 

im glad they rethought the approach

We did the turn in the turning basin at the dock this past Friday on Meraviglia.  They had no issues at all as the seas were almost dead calm (0.2m) and the wind was 3-5 mph.
