sunny days Posted February 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I've been reading a lot of reviews and have noticed that it seems like Coco Cay has been cancelled quite often because of weather. I am scheduled to go there on a cruise the end of April. Does anyone know if the weather is better than?? The main reason I booked this cruise was to go to Coco Cay. I would really hate to miss it. I'm hoping the bad weather is just a winter thing. Thanks for any imput. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegal96 Posted February 5, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2011 My experience has been the weather is usually better April - June. We are also going to Cococay end of April, can't wait it's been 13 years since we've seen her. We missed Labadee in Sept 99 due to weather. Hopefully we will all have smooth sailing in April. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunny days Posted February 5, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks for the encouraging words! I was on Cococay in Dec. of '84 so it's been a long time. I think it was called Little Stirup Cay back than?? I was on a cruise on the Emerald Seas who I believe was owned by Eastern Cruise Line??? I think Royal bought them out. We loved our time on Cococay and have always wanted to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted February 5, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2011 We have been fortunate to have never missed Coco Cay. We really enjoy it. Parasailing was our last adventure. We really like snorkeling there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerCruiser Posted February 5, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2011 We Love this place!.....Have been 2 or 3 times and missed it once or twice...can't remember exactly but when we missed it was Jan or Feb and seas are a bit rougher around the Is. that time of year I guess......But I think it can be the luck of the draw.........Hopefully April is good b/c the weather should certainly be better.

Mom.to.2 Posted February 5, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2011 You just never know. Keep in mind that Coco Cay may be canceled and don't let it ruin the whole cruise. I was on a cruise with a Coco Cay port call last April and we did make it. The week before us, that cruise didn't. I'll also be there this April (hopefully) and can only pray for good weather. This will be my 4th April cruise with a private island port and so far, I've only made it to the island once (last year.) Now that I've been there and know how amazing it is, I'm REALLY hoping we can make the stop again this year! I LOVE Coco Cay!!!! The point to my rambling was...hope for the best but plan for the worst and ENJOY your cruise no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior1 Posted February 5, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2011 We have been fortunate to be three for three at Cococay(December, January, and May). It is a beautiful stop. Make sure you take a walk around the backside of the island at some point during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitnee1 Posted February 7, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2011 for April for the first time. Can you give us an idea on what there is to do there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylort771 Posted February 8, 2011 #10 Share Posted February 8, 2011 We went in may on Monarch from Port Canaveral. Coco Cay was our first port however due to high winds we couldnt make the stop so we went to Nassau arriving at noon and stayed over night and the following day. They did however replace our last day which was supposed to be a sea day with Coco Cay. that was fine minus the fact that majesty was there too. Anyways if you miss it they will try and come back. If you dont get to go dont let it ruin your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted February 8, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Is the water warm enough to enjoy in April? We've been there, but only in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
