I had booked Seaside for October 2019 and saw it was going to Nassau. Cancelled and rebooked for December 2019, itinerary shows Ocean Cay. Hope it is correct.

The date has been changed numerous times. It's anybody's guess when it will open.

Last I read it is suppose to open November 2019. I sure hope so since I am scheduled to go there the end of Nov 2019.

As far as I have seen Meraviglia from NYC to Miami is the first ship currently scheduled on November 9th, 2019.

Are they even working on it? Anyone know?

[riclop]

The dates keep getting pushed back???????????????

Any artist renderings of what it's supposed to be like?

 

I wonder if they'll have a separate beach area for Yacht Club guests like RC does on Labadee for suite guests?

On the original rendering there was a special area for YC.

Thinking they are having problems with preserving the area like they said they would...just a thought though...but nothing about actual construction

From what little I've read, there is a YC dedicated area.

It's a man made island that was a sand mining facility, MSC is trying to make it into a "Marine reserve". I can only imagine what they are running into.

Yes they are working on it - feverishly from what I'm told from a friend of mine who works at MSC in FLL. Last year's hurricane season put a huge dent in the schedule throughout the Caribbean because of the need for building materials and personnel throughout all the islands that were hard hit by the storms last season. MSC has been able to do a little better than most because they do have their own cargo shipping company as well, but still they are working behind the power curve. The original opening date was pushed back a couple of times - then removed from the itineraries altogether, and now back on for Nov 2019. I'm hoping this year's Atlantic hurricane season is light, and they can surprise us all by opening Ocean Cay before the busy 2019 summer cruising season. We sail aboard Season June 29, 2019 and a stop at Ocean Can would be a thousand times better than Nassau.

I booked a cruise on the Seaside almost 2 years before its January 2018 sailing date to be on a new ship and to experience the new island. I thought the Seaside would be too big but I really wanted Ocean Cay. Many cruisers cancelled when they heard that Ocean Cay wouldn't be open but we went anyway. Loved the Seaside, hated Nassau. Next MSC cruise is this November on the Divina but it doesn't stop at Nassau. After that I won't book my next MSC cruise until I know that Ocean Cay is open. Bob

News from our cruise last month...from the Seaside Captain and VP of MSC Cruises US. Ocean Cay will be open by end of November 2019. If you check itineraries from 19 November on Ocean Cay is there.

Ocean Cay was also on the itinerary for my January 2018 cruise when I booked it in 2016. Then it was delayed until Oct 2018, then Oct 2019 and now Nov 2019. I don't blame MSC except for being overly optimistic. I am thinking of booking a cruise in December of 2019 but am waiting to get the official word that Ocean Cay is ready for visitors. Bob

Our Divina cruise in February next year should stop at Ocean Cay but it was replaced with Cozumel. We are glad that it wasn't Nassau and we also like that our last full day of the cruise became a day at sea.

Actually, the first time arriving in Ocean Cay, is scheduled to be Nov. 13th.

Hi Bob ... We are on the Meraviglia Xmas sailing 2019 which currently has Ocean Cay as a port.

Thanks Dave and I hope that happens. If I get brave and book for December 2019 it will be a cruise that includes December 6th, my wife's Birthday. Bob

I'm already booked for December on Seaside, hoping that Ocean Cay stays on the itinerary.
