ABFrenchie Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I received word from my TA today that Coco Cay is being replaced with Labadee for our 5/4/19 Symphony sailing. The email from Royal to my TA cites "enhancements" at Coco Cay as the reason for the change. I was under the impression the new pier would be done before our sailing. Has it been delayed? Is there more construction contemplated? I went to Labadee last month and loved it so I'm not upset about it, just curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Got the same email for my July 2019 SOTS sailing. Here's the email: To whom it may concern, We wanted to provide you with an itinerary update on your upcoming Symphony of the Seas sailing on July 27, 2019. Due to enhancements taking place on our private island, Cococay, Bahamas, we have replaced that port with our other private island, Labadee, Haiti.As one of our highest rated port of calls, we are sure you will have a blast in Labadee as a typical day here includes an all-you-can-eat BBQ, snorkeling, beach chairs to lounge care free and our most popular excursion to date, Dragon’s Breath Flight Line, where you can zip across the beautiful beach on a 2,600-foot-long zip line. There are tons of other water activities that give you plenty of options to arrange their perfect vacation! For your convenience, your final itinerary is outlined below. Day Port of Call Arrive Depart Sat Miami, Florida 4:30 PM Sun Cruising Mon Cruising Tue Philipsburg, St. Maarten 8:00 AM 5:00 PM Wed San Juan, Puerto Rico 7:00 AM 3:00 PM Thu Labadee, Haiti 9:30 AM 6:00 PM Fri Cruising Sat Miami, Florida 6:00 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there more construction contemplated? The pier will be done by June 2018, but the scope of work being done is not limited to just a pier. They are adding other things.

OK, I think now that we have both Serenade of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas, using the shorthand SOTS isn't going to work any more. Kind of like Mariner and Monarch, or Vision and Voyager. Maybe first two letters of the ship name, followed by "otS"? SYotS / SEotS; MAotS / MOotS; VIotS / VOotS? Just a thought, feel free to ignore. ?
