Cruising Erin Posted October 3, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm just curious as to how often Grand Cayman gets skipped. I love the island and just booked another trip with hopes of getting there this time. How many of you have missed it due to weather and the inability to tender?

PeterPan Posted October 3, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We are 1 for 2. Skipped once, and made it the second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Erin Posted October 3, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We've made it 2 of the 3 times. The last time we tried, we were told that they had missed it the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertbelle Posted October 3, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We've never had a skip in three times...we are scheduled to go there in November, so we will see if we will be 4 for 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted October 3, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We are 1 for 1. Memory seems to tell me is a fairly protected harbor, just not a big pier for docking. I'd guess, but anyone is free to argue or point out any falicy, but I'm guessing unless there is a "named" storm, you will make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicbird Posted October 3, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We are something like 11 for 11 (no misses). The anchorage is on the lee side of the island (as one might expect). I would reckon there's a good chance you'll make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted October 3, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We've had to miss it twice out of perhaps 15 times. The weather can be beautiful but the combination of wind/sea conditions will determine if you make the stop. Both times we missed was during the winter months. Good luck M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfganghowell Posted October 3, 2011 #11 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We're 5 for 5 making it. Going for 6 for 6 next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garnetpalmetto Posted October 3, 2011 #12 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We were 1 for 1 on Grandeur. Rough waters precluded us from using the usual anchorage and we had to anchor at a different anchorage for tender service. Additionally a good many excursions got cancelled, including our tour of the island. Not sure why since there weren't any activities involving water in ours.

Smurphy Posted October 3, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We've missed 2 out of 4 times. We are 3 for 3. On one of our cruises, the two or three cruises before us did not make it. I believe the reason is high winds and too dangerous for tendering. Hey Rob&Bonnie -- love your location. I used to go there as a kid and even had the t-shirt. I can actually still pronounce it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansmom Posted October 3, 2011 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We're 2 for 2. Love the place so much, going to skip the cruise and just fly there for a week (or longer) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oville Posted October 3, 2011 #15 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We've missed two out of 7 and it is not a "fairly protected harbor" rather pretty open to the rough seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathfanjan Posted October 3, 2011 #16 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We're zero for one. The cruise we missed it on was a December cruise and we're headed there again this December. Hope we make it this time! Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvcruzin Posted October 3, 2011 #17 Share Posted October 3, 2011 3 times out of 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty G Posted October 3, 2011 #18 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We have had 100% success. Don't recall the number but it is more than a few. Only one rough tendering where they had to reposition the Jewel after we re-boarded. DW spent the final days of the cruise in a wheel chair due to the hard landing off the ramp.

nybumpkin Posted October 4, 2011 #25 Share Posted October 4, 2011 We've made it 2 out of 3 times. The one we missed was in 2005 when Hurricane Dennis was headed for the area. We did get an early arrival in Cozumel the night before we were scheduled to arrive.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
