If the Gem can't go to GSC, what happens instead?

[moopdog]

Going on the Gem on 3/20. I've seen many references to the fact that the ship can sometimes not stop at Great Stirrup Cay. If that is the case - when do they make that decision and share with the guests on board? Also, what do they usually do instead? I'm guessing 2 days at Nassau (at least for our intinerary), but that's just a guess. Thansk.

It will usually become a slow lazy day at sea.

I missed GSB 2x and just extra sea days.

I dont think that the answers are going to change from when you asked yesterday.

We couldn't get to GSC last week and Captain Frank announced that he called and got clearance to dock in Nassau overnight. The crew went crazy applauding. Everyone was able to come and go all night long as they pleased.

GSC is a LOT of work for the crew and I believe they sort of enjoy missing the island once in a while.

I am more than sure that they were happy about missing the island. We were in LeBistro when it was announced and the kitchen exploded with cheering and pots banging. We laughed and thought it was great they were so excited!
