suesnake2002 Posted December 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Do not know. But if there are mobility issues they have shuttles. If i were to guess somewhere between a quarter mile and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted December 26, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I would guess a quarter mile or just shy of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred30 Posted December 26, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It doesn't look like they are setup for tendering anymore so it would be limited to 2 ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soremekun Posted December 26, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hopefully someone can post a picture here on CC. Better yet will be an aerial shot. Can someone pay @twangster to be on one of these sailings? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be over 12,000 passengers at only double occupancy. I don't think the island has that much capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser_1977 Posted December 26, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I was there on Navigator in September. It seemed empty with just our ship there. Navigator holds about 3,300 passengers. Could have been the weather also as it was chilly and rainy, so folks may have stayed on board. There are lots of different areas for people to disburse. I would guess the walk from the ship to the entrance was just over 1/4 mile. I posted a video of my walk from the entrance to the Oasis Lagoon in my review (link in signature).

Rare island lady Posted December 26, 2019 #19 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) What ship does NOT go to Coco Cay lately?? 😮 Packing them in, making more $$$. 🤑 Back half of island from around Chill Island Beach, until the farthest access end, is mostly shut down with heavy tarps covering all access and view to the water as of a couple of weeks ago. Losing more and more access to the natural part of the island. Free Loungers set up totally behind the beach beds at Chill Island beach, with no view at all, did not look inviting. We walked around and then headed back to the ship. Will do so when we are there on Mariner in two weeks as well.

cruisegirl1 Posted December 26, 2019 #20 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) We were there several times in the last 10 days. Are you referring to the construction barrier near the the snack shack? It did take up a lot of beach and if you were at the snack shack you could not see the ocean. If so, the construction barriers on much of that area were recently removed (At least for our cruise on December 20) and the beach is available for use. There is still the barrier around the land that will be the cocoa beach club. I think they’ve done a terrific job of allowing access on most of the island, with the ongoing construction. m Edited December 26, 2019 by cruisegirl1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that the walk down the pier is only about as long as the ship itself. The walk on the pier seems much longer! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the island has that much capacity. Think was posted what the Capacity is, off hand can't remember the number. Might been 12K. Could see some point having ship coming in 7am-2pm, second later in day to overnite and third in middle would be no issue...long as all are not Oasis Class. Been yrs(80s-90s) since did Labadee and Coco Cay. Back then at most about 50-60% the ship was ashore at peak. Now with more to do and added Piers percent is higher but still not 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple weeks later they Changed my whole 3rd leg from West Carib to Key West, Nassau and Coco Cay. Should give passengers a kickback in saved Millage.

Yes, was a very long barrier from about Chill Island Grill to down to end when we were on early December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred30 Posted December 26, 2019 #25 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) This is from RC website: "The average service capacity for a single call day on the island is projected at 6,500 guests." During peak season you can easily have 11,000 passengers docking with just 2 ships. Edited December 26, 2019 by fred30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
