They said it was with Viator. Viator is a third party middleman that resells local tours. They are owned by TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor also owns Cruise Critic. I see that Viator is charging the same as the local tour operator so the local operator must be paying a commission to Viator. If I were booking the tour I would book direct with the local operator so that the locals would get the full amount. That would be Bermudaful Island Tours. https://bermudafulisland.com I would not book with that company though. I would book a four hour taxi tour. I agree with you that they should be okay getting back.

Likely they are getting a special rate for cruise ships.

The app is a smartphone app. It was not meant to run on a tablet. Obviously it used to run despite that. The way the Google Play store works Celebrity would have to allow it to be installed on a tablet. But they aparently don't want to or have not bothered. People have been able to do a workaround and install it by sideloading the app. And it works. The safest way would be the Samsung Smart Switch App. There are also third party app stores. There would be a risk using one of those those. I advise using the smart switch app.

Try again tomorrow. You have until May 23. I doubt you are doing anything wrong. Probably heavy traffic. It can wait. This one is not exciting…..

Probably the server is overloaded from today’s email. You have until May 23. Try again tomorrow.

No.

Watch presentation on Edge Series. 30 PUP..

Coco Cay was fine with one mega ship. For one thing not everyone got off. There are people who don't like the beach or can't be out in the sun for long. I have a red headed family member who won't ever go to a beach. Two ships at a private island, Coco Cay or Labadee I would not be getting off. All the times I have been to private islands, Labadee, Coco Cay, Half Moon Cay, Princess Cay and Grand Stirup Cay it was one ship. Grand Stirup the second time it was one mega ship and the handled it.

I see the single sailing on Summit in 2017 too that stopped at Coco Cay. That one was a one off. In the grand scheme of things those are a minuscule amount of sailings. So the thread title is not correct. What might be correct is that there are currently no X sailings that stop at Coco Cay. But there is no proof there won't be any future X sailings that call there.

They were also planning something like that at Freeport.

I know the feeling. That is why I don't do many Caribbean itineraries anymore. I liked Coco Cay and would be happy if it was on Celebrity Caribbean or TA itineraries. I would have gotten off the ship as I like beach days. Perhaps they still do stop at Coco Cay on some TA's. I think what people in this thread are interested in is Caribbean itineraries. They don't like some islands. There seems to be a trend to build more private, what I would call gated ports.

You do those same ports on every TA?

I have not packed a tie in years.

That is a one off repositioning cruise though not a regular itinerary.

I have never been on a Celebrity cruise that stopped at Coco Cay. I am Elite Pus and been on a bunch of Celebrity cruises. I have been on Summit eight times and we never stopped at Coco Cay or were schedualed to. In the winter Summit was sailing out of San Juan. Does not seem like Coco Cay would be on the itinerary. Anything is possible I suppose. We did stop at Labadee once on Summit and once on another Celebrity cruise stopped at Labadee. I don't recall which ship. Before they put in the dock at Coco Cay I had four scheduled stops at Coco Cay on RCI and we skipped it every time. Finally made it to Coco Cay on RCI after they put in the dock. What does it matter though? None is saying Celebrity could not call at Coco Cay. Maybe they will some day.

Of course they will admit jellyfish exist. The tour leader is not likely to let you snorkel if there are jellyfish or man o war issues. They are known as reliable company. Actual conditions can vary from day to day. I have been to the beach one day and no man o war and the next day there were man o war. Man o war are mistakenly called jelly fish. The wind blows the man o war in. They are a lot easier to spot than jelly fish. you can see clear through jellyfish. They are not as easy to spot. The oceans are full of critters. I have seen jellyfish while snorkeling at many islands. We just swam away from them. I have been at beaches and put on my mask and there were schools of jellyfish! Beachgoers without masks were totally unaware.

Why would anyone need closure? We already know the actual scoop. X does not currently go to Coco Cay. They never have. It is not like it was something they used to do and changed. They could but they don't. Yes, you can email the exec offices. If people want X to go to Coco Cay they can suggest it. If you don't like the Celebrity Caribbean itineraries don't book them. If you desperately want Coco Cay, book a RCI cruise.

They have chosen their deployments for business reasons. That should be obvious. There is no reason other than business reasons that Coco Cay has been exclusively on RCI itineraries. Technically they could deploy Celebrity ships to Coco Cay. Certainly from time to time they review and adjust deployments. So possibly someday an X ship or ships could go to Coco Cay.

They have not done it so management must not think it is better or logical. I have done Perfect Day. One Oasis Class ship that day. If there were two ships and one was Oasis class I would probably stay on the ship. If I were on a Celebrity sailing and there was any RCI ship there too I would definitely stay on the ship. I don’t think it would be a perfect day.

Royals plan was to have every RCI sailing out of Florida do Perfect Day at Coco Cay. That is why they built the dock and upgraded everything there. Royal’s fleet includes ships that are too large to call at many Caribbean ports. Ships that also can’t tender. Celebrity’s fleet can dock or tender at most ports. So it is common sense for Royal not to deploy X ships to use up Coco Cay slots. Perhaps some day it will make sense. If Royal builds a few more private islands then the deployments could change. It is a business decision pure and simple.

You have plenty of time to renew.

If the cruise is next year you can't find a window of time before then to renew? You have that many trips stacked?

A taxi for 1-4 passengers would cost you about $75. There would be 25% surcharge on Sunday. If you go on Sunday attractions and some restaurants will be open but the shops will be closed. You can take a ferry to Hamilton and a taxi to St. George's (about $40 from Hamilton) or a ferry to Hamilton and a public bus to St. George. The Sunday bus schedule is limited.

Ships crew is serving the food and selling the drinks. I have recognized them from the ship. There are permanent personnel there doing the maintenance.

Rum Bum is no more as they were replaced as the concession operator a couple of years ago. The current consession operator is Horseshoe Bay Live.
