MichiganMan4 Posted June 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Just received the following from Celebrity… does this mean their ships are coming to CocoCay soon and sharing with Royal? (yes I know it’s the same parent company) Edited June 26, 2023 by MichiganMan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I don't think the usual celebrity crowd will particularly enjoy the island when there's an oasis class full of families there as well. Wonder if this will continue to drive up the stupid prices for the activities/cabanas Edited June 26, 2023 by acuprulez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted June 26, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) If you look around, there is little, if any RCCL branding. Perfect for other ships or lines to use the place. Folks on the Celebrity board don't seem upset. In fact, many are hoping that will be the announcement. They often say that X is trying to get younger passengers, sound familiar? m Edited June 26, 2023 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted June 26, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2023 There are enough days where there's only one ship in port. But wouldn't that be a bit of a logistics nightmare, especially for the bars and drink packages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted June 26, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I wouldn't doubt it. Royal is opening up the adult only area "Hideaway Beach" soon... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted June 26, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 26, 2023 With Celebrity's upscale pricing model maybe they figure they can upscale PDCC prices more with X guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even better, Celebrity guests pay 2x as much as RC guests for various things. As always, anything you hear on a ship should be taken with a grain of salt, but on a recent cruise one of the officers told me RC wanted to build another pier to have more than 2 ships at a time.

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted June 26, 2023 #13 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Folks on X ships like to go to beaches too. Hey Carnival stops at Half Moon Cay that is usually HAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for a pier announcement. It's just a matter of the right size bribe, I mean lobbying fee, to the right official. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted June 26, 2023 #18 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Would be interesting logistically considering the RCL has two ships there every day already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notscb Posted June 26, 2023 #19 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I wouldn't be surprised, especially since Celebrity is owned by Royal Caribbean Group and that little island has made them a pretty penny, especially over the past couple of years. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a ship like Apex or Beyond stop there and even tender folks in (those ships have the really nice lifeboats that even seem luxurious).

Not as often as you'd think. In July, there are two ships there on only 14 of the 31 days. 16 of the 31 days in August. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
