How does the Majesty refuel at Cococay?

[omro1975]

Hi, we recently were on the Majesty of the Seas and while it dropped Anchor at Cococay the ship refuelled, but we didn't see any sign of another ship. We could have been blind, lol.

 

Does it refuel via a pipeline there? Or a fuel ship?

[BecciBoo]

It DOES NOT refuel there.

[Palmetto Pilot]

I doubt it even needs to refuel at all for 3/4 night trips.

[Aquahound]

No, she does not refuel there. Which sparks my curiosity....what did you confuse for refueling? :confused:

[omro1975]

The announcement over the public address system telling us that they'd completed their refueling. :-)

Unless there was a large barge tied up to the ship, she was not being refueled.

 

Is it possible they were refueling one of the tenders from the ship?

 

(During any refueling operations you should see "No smoking" signs posted near the refueling site, as well as a red flag (code for "B") flying from the mast.

 

Aloha,

I did the behind the scenes tour on Oasis and think I caught that they only refuel every other week at Philipsburg (Sint Maarten).

 

I have no idea, but would wonder if they would refuel Majesty in Nassau.

Some secret code phrase for something mysterious. :eek::p

Majesty has always refueled in Miami when we were on board. In Nassau, they often drop off trash.

You mean you didn't see that really long hose come out of the water?;)

That is correct. Oasis and Allure refuel in St. Maarten as the cost of fuel is much cheaper there. From each Majesty sailing I have done, the ship is refuelled in Miami.

Refuelling of a tender is a possibility. I have never seen that done at Coco Cay myself but it is a possibility.

Good point. How else would the tenders be fueled? That's probably what it was.

Maybe the crew had just finished eating. :D

Majesty has been the Coco Cay supply ship bringing food and supplies for the folks that stay on the island so it makes perfect sense that the Tenders get refueled by her as well.

Lol!!! :D
