kruzerci Posted July 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2010 We just booked Freedom and looking at the itinerary, I'm wondering where she goes if she can't tender to CocoCay. Nassau? San Juan? Fourth day at sea? I'm not worried, we're 4 for 4 on CocoCay but just haven't seen anything posted about that scenario before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExAstris Posted July 15, 2010 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2010 We were on the Freedom for our honeymoon cruise last year, and of course we had to miss CocoCay due to the weather. The tenders couldn't make it out because of the wind. Unfortunately, loudbmw is right - we sailed very slowly towards our next port. I don't believe we were able to get any extra time at the next port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rharvey999 Posted July 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I recall a few years ago when we missed Coco Cay we stopped in San Juan instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griswolds Posted July 15, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2010 We have experienced missing a port a few times. One time we just had an extra sea day but another they switched ports for that day and we just hit the missed port on the return trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyc2tropics Posted July 15, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I was on Freedom last october we missed coco cay due to choppy seas. They just treated it as another sea day we didnt really mind though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted July 15, 2010 #8 Share Posted July 15, 2010 The first time we missed, they moved us to Nassau. The second time, day at sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted July 15, 2010 #9 Share Posted July 15, 2010 We have missed once, another sea day. This time CocoCay is our first stop. If need to maybe they will add it on the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigley10 Posted July 15, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 15, 2010 We were on the Monarch last year in Nassau when the Majesty was scheduled for CocoCay but couldn't tender due to high seas. They brought the Majesty into Nassau one day early. However, this may have been because Nassau was its next stop anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it all has to do with availability at the alternate ports. Looking at the Itinerary maybe she would stop on the way back if Coco was free.

RSGS315 Posted July 16, 2010 #16 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I have been on 36 RCCL cruises and we were never able to tender to that Out Island. We always made it to Labadee, but the seas were usually to high to tender to CocoCay on about 5 or 6 cruises with a port call there.

seeshore Posted July 16, 2010 #18 Share Posted July 16, 2010 We sailed very slowly to the next port and someone was kind enough to play "So You Had a Bad Day" over the ship's sound system as we pulled away from CocoCay. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Itinerary maybe she would stop on the way back if Coco was free. Exactly my point, my dear. Different ship, same principle. They might change the itinerary or substitute ports, as they did with the Majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_K Posted July 16, 2010 #21 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Exactly my point, my dear. Different ship, same principle. They might change the itinerary or substitute ports, as they did with the Majesty.Except that finding alternatives for a 74,000 ton ship whose next stop is less than 100 miles away is not the same situation as finding alternatives for a 160,000 ton ship whose next stop is 900 miles away.
