Tenders on Mercury to CocoCay

[2SeaWithMe]

Has anyone done these? Since it's a private island, I'm assuming they use the lifeboats? For someone with mobility problems, how difficult is the embark/debark?

 

Thanks!

We anchored at CocaCay on our Mercury Thanksgiving cruise this year (sorry, last year 2010!) and they used ferries (not lifeboats) from the Island. They were large and I saw more than a few people using wheelchairs. They had special beach/sand wheelchairs with huge wheels to go into the sand.

 

I didn't think I'd enjoy it that much - I'm from Fla and don't hit the beaches on cruises much because I'm such a snob and think our beautiful white sand beaches here in the Panhandle are the 'best'! But loved CocaCay. Great setup. Lots of shade, nice beach buffet, beautiful beaches and lots to do.

 

enjoy!

I agree with Denny. We stopped there on Galaxy several years back and had a great time. Make sure you bring water shoes as there are some rocky spots in the water.

Here are some pictures from my recent cruise on the Celebrity Mercury Dec. 11-20 to show the tenders and the island.

Pictures are fabulous. Thank you! The tenders on eclipse were fabulous, so I guess I shouldn't have expected less.
