ILUVCRUIZN Posted February 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Just wanted to post a quick poll to see how many actually make it to the island? We had to miss due to weather, high winds? It was one of the ports that we were most looking forward to visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupcrazy Posted February 13, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Such a great day at HMC. One of my favourite beach ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted February 13, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2011 We loved this port. Nothing to worry about except the beach, ocean, and good food. Save the excursions for another day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILUVCRUIZN Posted February 13, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted February 13, 2011 We new that it could happen as with any tender port but were really hoping to make it. The Captain said it was due to the wind but when you were on deck it was one of the calmest days that we had. We read so many great reviews and that was one of the ports that made us decide on this cruise. Oh well, hopefully we will see it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KroozFoolz Posted February 13, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 13, 2011 We are very fortunate - we are three for three - hopefully, in May, we will be four for four. :D (We are also two for two for Grand Cayman.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisin blue Posted February 13, 2011 #13 Share Posted February 13, 2011 We have been very lucky! We have made it to HMC 3 out of 3 times...and we have never missed Grand Cayman either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishlinny Posted February 13, 2011 #14 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Have been there twice (but we had a monsoon last year:eek:)...thankfully we had rented a cabana! Hoping for a beautiful sunny day this year;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILUVCRUIZN Posted February 13, 2011 Author #15 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That is awesome that so many cruisers have been able to enjoy HMC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlqueen Posted February 13, 2011 #16 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Been twice - can't wait to go back! We did miss Grand Turk on our last run, though - and it was pretty rocky out there! I think if it's too rough for the tenders (to safely get on and off) that's when they call it and cruise on by. We watched Grand Turk appear and then disappear - but I'm sure it was for the best - it really was rocky!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CynLovesCrusing Posted February 13, 2011 #17 Share Posted February 13, 2011 So far- and believe me, I'm counting my blessings- I've made it to every one of my tender ports, HMC included. We will be on the Liberty in June and one of the specific reasons is to go back to HMC. I realize that there is always the chance, but I may shed very large crocodile tears if we have to miss it. HMC is my favorite place thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmorg Posted February 13, 2011 #18 Share Posted February 13, 2011 We missed it. :( Water too rough to tender in. It was a bit disappointing pulling away and watching the cabana we had rented fade into the distance. Cocktail time started early that day. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 13, 2011 #19 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Made it five out of six times. The time we missed was on HAL. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The4Cruisers Posted February 14, 2011 #21 Share Posted February 14, 2011 We're 1 for 1 at HMC. Can't wait to go back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted February 14, 2011 #22 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yup - I was on the same cruise and was surprised to hear the announcement that we were unable to tender in due to winds.....made it to HMC once before and was definitely looking forward to it again. But I have been on a tender in high winds/choppy seas (grand cayman) and it was quite a challenge getting everyone back on the ship! I was very disappointed but what can you do? Tried to enjoy another day at sea! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Days Posted February 14, 2011 #23 Share Posted February 14, 2011 We made it in September! OMG I loved it! I so want to go back. If I could have painted a picture of the PERFECT place on earth...it would have been of HMC.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJacketsFan1 Posted February 14, 2011 #24 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It might have something to do with the time of year that you sail. The beginning part of the year is the windy season in the caribbean. I remember checking on this a few years ago when I sent my mother on a cruise in January.
