mk3hawkins Posted October 21, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Sally or Tom maybe you can answer this: Are Saturdays in November busier than any other time of year? I noticed that during most of the summer only one or two cruise ships were in port on Saturday while Wednesday and Thursday had 3 or 4 ships at a time. Now it looks like 3 or 4 on Sat. and 1 or 2 on Weds/Thurs or is it just something about this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injunjoe Posted October 21, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2004 My guess is that in November, the ships that are sailing Alaska, etc. reposition to the Caribbean which may be part of the reason there are more ships in the area in the cooler months.

ruffsmom Posted October 21, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2004 We will be in Cozumel on Saturday, Nov. 27. There are 6 ships scheduled for that day. Should we expect crowds at the beaches? Where would be the best beach for us to go to that won't be too crowded? Thanks, Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solita Posted October 22, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Ruffsmom...luckily in Cozumel there are enough beaches to go around for everyone. The place to go is Paradise Beach. 6 ships isn't really that bad. Now, December 8 is another story...think the last count was 14! Caro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted October 22, 2004 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Solita, Where do you get the information on port schedule this far in advance? I know about the Cozumel Insider info, but they only seem to be for the upcoming week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CozSally Posted October 22, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2004 You can see where all ships are on any given day at: http://www.cruisecal.com/ It's fairly accurate, not perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roohound Posted October 23, 2004 #10 Share Posted October 23, 2004 My guess is that in November, the ships that are sailing Alaska, etc. reposition to the Caribbean which may be part of the reason there are more ships in the area in the cooler months. Actually, almost all ships are out of Alaska by September..maybe a few stragglers in early October. A lot of Panama Canal cruises start up in October (along with, as you said, repo cruses) so this will increase. Some cruise lines try to keep their ships out of the Caribbean during the height of the hurricane season (through early-mid-October). Plus, most ships do their transatlantic crossings in Sept/October and come back to the Caribbean this time of yeae :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
