Cococay, still tendered?

[oddly excitered]

Have the docks been opened up for use or are they still tendering to shore? planning for February sailing and info still sketchy.

Thanks

In February you should dock.

Hi,

 

I'm booked on the Mariner of the Seas for the first weekend in December 2018. Is the dock scheduled to be completed by then?

 

Thanks,

Unknown, last I heard it was sometime in November, but that could have slipped.

I am hearing January. However, to answer your question directly, no...….I was just there last week, long way to go. These storms will have to steer clear or it will delay even further.

Per RC FAQ on Coco Cay, the pier will be open “January 2019” That gives them leeway for any date in Jan, and even then, things can change.

You've got to remember...these folks work on "island" time...there's no hurry, in their opinion!

Thanks all! I haven't been yet, had it booked twice but been passed off due to rough seas. excited to go. my sisters have also been diverted. none of my friends have actually been there. seems like forbidden fruit;p. ;p

I'll have some updated photos and scuttlebutt next week.

 

 

I'm hoping to make it 6 for 6 at making it before the pier.

We're there in November on Enchantment.

 

Should have been there in December on Rhapsody [emoji35]

We were there in August on Grandeur.

 

The pier is coming along. Most the pilings are set, and they have it decked maybe half way. I can see Jan easily.

 

As for the rest of construction, I have a hard time believing it will be open in March.

Thanks for that, I was hoping to see progress from last year.

Good question...here is a pic taken yesterday..I am on Mariner. So much work to do by June ‘19. Rumors on the streets (beaches) are the new dock to be ready by Jan instead of Nov....I’ll ask around for any unofficial stuff...not sure but officially opening June?

The east and south beaches are open as normal, awesome as always.

They have a temp visual barrier fence up, rest of island a constuction zone.

West end has barge dock...bringing in sand/materials.

I’ll be here often....be interesting to post pics every week.

Sounds like we'll be able to walk off next April:).

[SRF]

Yeah, the dock looks like it is coming along, but I see NO construction of the new stuff, just dirt moving.

 

 

And yes, I know that dirt moving is the first part of the construction, but being 7 months from the opening, and not seeing structures going up is NOT a good sign.

Here's a link to Royal Caribbean's FAQ on Cococay which includes timelines. It is dated July 26, 2018. I'm sure that is subject to change, but this is what they are telling the public for now. It's a looooong, slow rollout.
