Bobstam Posted February 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2018 How do you know the port or dock the ship will arrive at in each port?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted February 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2018 the port is the town, the dock is the dock, these ships are so huge, on most islands only one place has a dock deep and long enough for a cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Paesano Posted February 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) As stated above for individual islands' ports. In case you're asking about which docks/berths for embarkation ports, the links for PortMiami and Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale) are: PortMiami https://seaport2.miamidade.gov/dailydock/SSRSReportDock.aspx Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale) https://pevvesseltraffic.broward.org/webx/ I've not checked other ports as we always sail out of either Port Everglades or PortMiami but I'd think the vessel schedules for other ports would be available also.

Bobstam Posted February 28, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thanks, I've been in St Thomas twice and was at different docks both times, so thought maybe other places were the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Often I google this to try to find the port of call. Other times I could ask on the Cruise Line Boards for those who have been there before. Sometimes we just won't know until the last minute in terms of which dock is being used. Some places only have tendering. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I usually google the port. But nothing is definite. We have often gotten on a ship, told where we would be docking in a certain port only to be told the day before we got to that port that we would be docking at a different area or even tendering. This can usually happen in larger ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It should be stated on your itinerary, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted February 28, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Does it really matter that much which dock the ship ties up to? Isn't that a bit like wondering which parking space will be available when you get to the mall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2018 In Fort Lauderdale there is a sign listing the ships in port that day and which pier they are at. It is right as you enter the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 28, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I believe he is thinking about either St. Thomas, witht he choice of Havensight or Crown Bay, or Roatan with Coxen Hole or Mahogany Bay. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobstam Posted February 28, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thanks for the google idea. As I said earlier in my post about St Thomas having 2 docks that we have been too, just trying to decide what our options might be when we get off the ship if we choose not to buy an excursion. Just wanted to be more informed abut the areas that we have never visited. I thought that was what this site was all about, sharing information. I have seen where someone could even know how many ships would be in port at a particular stop, I will google that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted February 28, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 28, 2018 St. Thomas is the exception to the rule, and I agree with you, it does make a difference which dock you're at. If you're down at the industrial port, not as many options. You have to take a shuttle or taxi to the main part of town. Just ignore the posts that aren't applicable to your situation. If you're going to continue to post to CC, you have to develop a tough skin. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hancock Posted February 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 28, 2018 In St.Thomas, Royal Caribbean has a contract to dock it's ships at Crown 'Bay. That means Celebrity and Royal Caribbean ships dock at Crown Bay. A few years ago, Holland America was docking there rather than at Havensite. Havensite is the preferred place to dock in St. Thomas as it is within walking distance of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobstam Posted February 28, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thank you Roz, I do need a thicker skin as I am a sunshine always happy kind of girl! LOL I never used cc on Carnival sites but did with NCL, same type of thing there, I do appreciate you more as less validated why I had asked the question in the first place.

Rare Essiesmom Posted February 28, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 28, 2018 If you want to know where you ship will dock in St. Thomas, google VI now. It sort of functions as a travel site so CC invalidates a link...But the calendar will tell you Crown Bay or Havensight. If you want to know who will be in port with you, try http://www.cruisetimetables.com and choose your port. Also go to cruisecal.com. It's a pay sight, but in the menu bar you can click on Itinerary Lookup and find what you want to know for free. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobstam Posted February 28, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thank you Essiemsmom, that is the type of info that I was looking for. We actually going to Grand Turk, San Juan, St Kitts & St Maarten in December. Thanks again, very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
