beltane Posted September 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hello all... quick question. It has been about 10 years since I have been to Georgetown, Grand Cayman. I am looking at an itinerary which includes it and it says "docked"... is that new? Am I remembering incorrectly? I thought I remembered tender boats to get to Grand Cayman. Have they built piers since I was last there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleSS Posted September 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I second the tendered. We've always tendered into GC. Don't remember any docks around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted September 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2016 We went there last year on Reflection and we tendered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsimon Posted September 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Grand Cayman has approved the construction of cruise ship docks in a very controversial plan. But construction has not yet started and I'd imagine it would be a multi-year project after it starts. So they'll be tendering there for some time to come. Latest is that they are still working on financing on the $150 to $200 million project and negotiating with cruise lines for financial participation in the project. http://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/150m-cayman-islands-cruise-port-is-approved.html https://caymannewsservice.com/tag/cruise-dock-facility/ Edited September 2, 2016 by Lsimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dodged the tenders coming an going in Nov 2014. If it is built there a lot of beauty will be lost.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunaman2011 Posted September 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Thanks for the update! Here's a screen shot of the itinerary on Celebrity's website, so I don't think I'm losing my marbles... Greetings Just looks like a Celebrity web site error (surprise, surprise). I think the mistake is that you will tender in Cayman and dock in Ocho Rios.
