3 Ships-Coco Cay (social distancing)

[Newport55]

Booked on Odyssey OTS and arriving on Friday, 13 Nov 2020 along with Empress and Symphony. Estimated pax count at 14,000.  Seriously RCI who schedules this??

Social distancing may or may not be in place then. Ships may have different itineraries to accommodate  or be on 1/2 filled status.

Really tough to speculate about anything at this point in time.

Maybe RCI is planning for not many ports being open to sail to?

Wouldnt count on anything right now. All that can change and most likely will.

ya think?

I booked the beach club precisely because there are presently 3 ships scheduled for our visit to CocoCay. I know that this may change but I don't want to fight the crowds of 3 ships. Our ship might have to tender? Do they still tender?

No.

By the time ships start sailing again, the people will have decided that "social distancing" is ridiculous.

if there is no tendering how will they port 3 ships?

No idea, but I kinda doubt it will happen (3 ships at once).

These might work

[Pumbaamd]

 NO worries, Empress can tie up with the jet skis. What can go wrong? It's Friday the 13th!

It will all work out OK. It's Friday the 13th!

They could dock rivercruise style

Do you realize that this schedule was made long before the Covid-19 pandemia..

So they were planning on bringing three ships there even before all the problems started? Maybe they will just line them up like they do at Grand Cayman.

COVID aside... at one point they thought it was a good idea, so logistically it does beg the question (as many others have asked) where would they dock?

They've been busy the last two months. 😉

there's room, if it's Empress, there's room. One ship on each side of the pier and Empress tucked in behind one (or in front depending on your perspective).

I think this is the correct answer since they were planning to keep the island open after dark.
