No, they are usually disembarked several hours before departure.

Yes, that's usually been my experience. Generally they want us off by 3 or 3:30.

TA tour group? What time do you board? Those of us on the 3-15 cruise are wondering if they will let us board a little early.

Yes, TA group. Not sure yet what time we board, but they told us we would have plenty of time to inspect the ship. My guess is 9. Definitely helps that nobody is getting off in the morning.

I just confirmed today that I'll be going on the ship March 15, after the work is done, and before she heads back to Hawaii. Looking forward to seeing what they will have done.

Thanks to everyone for the great information. Much appreciation!

I'm trying to determine if there is cell coverage on CocoCay while our ship (FOS) is in port. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?

I've looked on the boards and haven't found the specific answer I'm looking for.

I understand that while you are at sea, you can get coverage through RCCL's network, and that I'll pay for this through my carrier (AT&T in our case.) I also understand that once the ship is within a certain distance of land (supposedly within 12 miles) they turn that ship network off and you would default to whatever the local carrier is.

In this case, I checked the website of the Bahamas telco, and they do not list CocoCay (or it's previous name, Little Stirrup Cay) as an island on which there is coverage.

I called RCCL and they did not know the answer. (Side note: wondering if there is anyone on the ship I could email this question, if need be.)

So to anyone who's been on Coco Cay and used your cell - did it work? Does the ship just leave their network on during they day, and if so, do you have to be on the ship to get a signal?

Thanks in advance for any info! And in case anyone's thinking, "just relax and don't use your phone/you're on vacation," I am asking this info for my wife, who is in the middle of a sensitive business deal and may need to talk to someone that day. If she knew that this was possible, it would make her vacation (and mine:)) much more relaxing! Thanks!
