mom2mybugs Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Well I’m hoping that it can handle 2 ok. If they cancel Cuba on me in June, I see them going to Nassau or cococay...harmony is already there that day. Of course, I assume everything will be booked so we may end up staying on the ship.

mbk999 Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 My first thought wasn't actually the crowds, it was: that's gonna confuse some passengers. It's weird to me but I know there are people that have no idea of what ship they are on. They just think the name is "Royal Caribbean". To have two or three docked at the same time? Here's hoping there's not two Oasis class ships at the same time..... Fuzzywuzzy, RestingBird, Antonio and 3 others 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantix2000 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 There's still plenty of island that hasn't been developed. I'm quite confident we can still walk a bit further down the beach and be completely alone. Last time I was there I went on an hour walk without meeting anyone else (and just saw a few at a distance). If you stay in the most crowded areas, yes, it will probably feel crowded, but that's your choice. RestingBird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicDay Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 #spiralqueen thank you so much!! The three ship ideal at CoCo Cay had me worried. My husband is not a big fan of crowds and the only reason we are on such a big ship is our daughter, she picked it. It's a good thing my husband is so laid back, he'll have a great time if we are.

bhageerah Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I know that they are saying that capacity is at 10K but I honestly would not want to be there on a day that they have 3 ships, that is pretty busy, depending on the ships that are docked! I could not even imagine how hard it would be to find a chair or a nice quiet spot to enjoy the island (without booking a cabana).

Pima1988 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I am going on Adventure in July, and it will be the only ship at port. With only 3114 passenger load, I think it will feel like our own private island. The Cruise Junkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pima1988 Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Until they add more things to the island, the capacity will remain at 10K, so nope you will not see Harmony, Symphony and Oasis docked at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike P Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 On Saturday we were there on Navigator. There weren't very many people on the beach & bungalow area but the pool got quite busy after noon or so. I wouldn't want to see it anywhere near capacity.

whenismynextcruise Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thanks @spiralqueen - We are there on Anthem (4180 passengers) the day before thanksgiving. Looks like mariner (4252) will also be there. Not really crowd people here. I am probably in the minority here but personally I like the island the way it was before the renovations (although I do like the idea of not tendering anymore). The quiet private island getaway was always a nice option. Now that it is basically a waterpark on an island not so sure about that. I cannot imagine what 8432 people at lunch time would look like. We like taking the trip from Bayonne at Thanksgiving but honestly with the ports offered - Port Canaceral, Coco Cay Water Park not so perfect day and the Nassau that doesnt really leave a lot of reason to get off the ship anymore. We do love ship days but with 4 days at sea already during an 8 days cruise that could be a lot. Jjohnb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DublinFC Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I am not a fan of this news. I hope they do not follow through with this. I think the idea of a private island needs to private. Having 10-12,000 of your closest friends takes away from that feeling. Jjohnb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillainsGin Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I was on Symphony of the Seas when they visited cococay alone and it was already packed everywhere. I can't even imagine 1-2 extra ships! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DublinFC Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I thought the point of the pier was to avoid the tendering requirement? I get more ships means more money for RC, but over packing the place like a theme park sounds like overkill. RWDW1204 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those numbers, as striking as it look, is somewhat of a misnomer....not everyone will go to the island; yet alone, at the same time period or duration. Royal, no doubt, are gauging the volumn it can handle(12,000 is what's quoted) while taking advantage of the opportunity to increase revenue...common practice. There is still much undeveloped growth on the island(a third of the island is currently in use as quoted); and, as more ideas come to fruition, as to more venues & activities, I'm fairly sure another pier will be built & the frequency & volumn will undoubtedly increased...and hopefully some percentage of additional revenue goes keeping prices level, as they invest more & more into the company, in bringing us more technology & conveniences, improved & new fleet, and newer port itineraries & private island and/or resort areas across the world(personally, like on the West Coast....just saying ) USCG Teacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancity Cruiser Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just noticed that Navigator is now showing as being in Cococay on the same day as Allure on the 25th.

MicroBeta Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Holy Cow!!!!! It turns out that there will be three ships in Coco Cay on June 3rd. The Oasis, Independence, and Majesty. I just checked RCI's website for the itineraries and verified they are all going to be there on the 3rd. We'll be on the Oasis. That's 11742 to 14026 potential passengers between the three ships.
