3 Ships-Coco Cay (social distancing)

[Cruisin_n_Boozin]

For what it's worth, it looks like only two ships on Nov 13th

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

 

On Nov 29th showing 3 ships, all showing the same time 0700-1700

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

Thanks for your medical opinion

Where did you get that info? That max passenger count for Odyssey seems way off, should be less than 5K.

There's several sites out there with port schedules.  That one was crew-center.  I checked a couple others and they don't all agree... so who knows.  I am probably fake news!

Not doubting you... multiple port schedule sites show the 29th, but that could be wrong.  Another one I checked is now showing 3 ships on the 13th of November, so who knows what is right anymore.

I checked the Royal website, Navigator is departing Miami on Friday the 27th and Day 2 is CocoCay. I think that is the most reliable information as those independent sites are sometimes outdated or incorrect.

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??

 

Here's a different slant.

 

In order to get approval/funding for port expansion terminals in say Ft Lauderdale and Miami, they needed to agree to more passenger port days .... more port traffic = more port fees for the cities involved

 

Get it?

 

So, Navigator, Independence, and Mariner, to name a few, have shifted from longer cruises to 3 and 4 day cruises to ... guess where, their private, close-by island.  Almost doubling port fees for the govt.

 

It is all about money.... but virus caught the world off guard.

 

Anyway..... stay safe!

check out todays YouTube videos of Southern Ca. opened beaches.  People packed in, no masks, no distancing,  police refusing to ticket anyone.  His medical opinion is accurate. Did you see the video today of the NCL Escape arriving in Miami today loaded with crew. Everyone on deck with little concern for rules. This picture from Friday night 5/1/2020. crew complained ship was extremely overcrowded.  But they still hung-out  together

Odyssey is right around 4,900 max passengers I believe. (plus crew)

Typically older ships do the shorter 3/4 niters. But part reason more ships in area is due to Coco Cay. Dozens Cruises have changed to stopping there then other stops. Had 2 Cruises myself were supposed be WC, nope off to Coco Cay instead

Overcrowded Cali beach Videos were from last week, they were shut back down this weekend. Some ships wearing masks now, couple havent been with no cases CV and been at Sea over 14days. Here I think their having a goodbye party after Social Distancing for 2 weeks
